QUALCOMM Announces Next-Generation FleetAdvisor(R) Management Solution
SAN DIEGO, June 8 QUALCOMM Incorporated
(Nasdaq: QCOM), the leading provider of wireless data solutions, today
announced the commercial launch of versions 6.2 and 6.2.3 of its
industry-leading FleetAdvisor fleet management solution for the private fleet
market. Both systems provide customers with a near real-time connection
between their back office -- including management, dispatchers and customer
service representatives -- and their vehicles and drivers, with version 6.2.3
designed with features necessary for larger customer fleet operations.
FleetAdvisor 6.2 and 6.2.3 support full-function, on-board computing and
applications, including automated Department of Transportation-compliant logs;
automated arrival and departure alerts; and automated state mileage and GIS
mapping. FleetAdvisor and other on-board applications run on the MVPc(R)
in-vehicle computer, which uses the Windows(R) CE platform. FleetAdvisor also
works with other QUALCOMM systems, including the OmniTRACS(R) and
OmniExpress(R) mobile communications systems.
"FleetAdvisor 6.2 and 6.2.3 support QUALCOMM's efforts to provide
enterprise-wide benefits to companies with private fleets," said Joan Waltman,
president of QUALCOMM Wireless Business Solutions. "Both solutions are
designed to help our customers -- whether operating large or small fleets --
extend supply-chain management, automate regulatory compliance, reduce the
operational costs of their fleets, and significantly increase revenue and
productivity."
FleetAdvisor 6.2 provides customers with:
Support for 802.11b WLAN communications
The ability to export FleetAdvisor report data for use by other
applications such as Excel

Filtering logic has been added that minimizes false TrailerTRACS

Enhanced mobile software to support the grocery and liquid gas
markets, allowing drivers to service multiple, adjacent stops without
moving the vehicle
Enhanced APIs that allow external third-party applications to
accomplish route pre-assignment(s) for a driver
Enhanced debugging tools used by customers and support personnel for
diagnosing system problems
Support for the French language added to support customer vehicles
