San Jose, CA – March 17, 2004 – Telcontar, a leading supplier of software and related applications for location-based services (LBS) today announced that MobileAria, a subsidiary of Delphi, has selected Telcontar’s Drill Down Server™ as the spatial platform for its FleetOutlook fleet management system. By using Telcontar’s DDS, MobileAria can now support real-time tracking, mobile resource position display, and geofencing and management reporting based on the movement and locations of vehicles, containers or other assets.
