Numerex Launches Airdesk Mobile(TM), Complete Mobile Solution for Vehicle Tracking and Management
ATLANTA, July 20-- Numerex Corp., (Nasdaq:
NMRX) a leader in wireless M2M communications, today announced the launch
of Airdesk Mobile(TM), a complete, single-source solution that supports the
entire mobile asset and vehicle tracking market. The solution enables
customers to track and locate vehicles and mobile assets across a range of
applications -- from personal automotive and fleet security to credit
management and asset recovery. Built on the new Airdesk Mobile Platform,
and powered by Numerex Networks(TM), Airdesk Mobile is comprised of
technology, network, professional and support services. Featuring flexible,
cost-effective pricing plans, the solution is marketed under private label
brands through multiple service providers and distributors in North
America.
"Numerex has worked diligently with us to develop the product features
and services required for the new car after-market," said Eric Hamann,
President of Southwest Dealer Services. "We needed a product that delivered
fleet management and security features for our new car dealer inventories,
while at the same time providing the advanced features required for
consumers. Numerex has done a tremendous job in delivering a solution that
meets all of these needs--and at the right price points."
Advanced product features include enhanced satellite imagery for
precise asset and vehicle location accuracy to the meter, as well as
traditional two- dimensional road mapping to street coordinates. The
solution also features an intuitive and powerful Web-based interface for
distributors, dealers and consumers, as well as operator assisted
theft-recovery support. Airdesk Mobile is powered by Numerex Networks(TM)
utilizing GPRS and SMS transport. Numerex Networks' extensive digital
network, covering North America and the Caribbean, provides the most
cost-effective and reliable network solutions available.
"Airdesk Mobile has enhanced our ability to respond to market and
customer requirements with a robust and high-value mobile tracking and
management solution," said Dan Blanke, CEO of SkyWatchGPS. "Numerex built
this product with distributors and dealers in mind. Not only does it
provide the technical and service features we need, but what really sets it
apart are the management and administration tools built into the solution.
We can track and manage the devices and services through our supply chain
and activate the devices on demand. That is a huge benefit for our
customers, who are not interested in paying network fees if devices are not
installed. Beyond the network and technology, Numerex's people and expert
support staff have been there every step of the way during our launch of
this new mobile offering."
Airdesk Mobile utilizes the new Airdesk ADM-3500 In-Vehicle Tracking
Modules. The modules are available in multiple configurations that allow
dealers and service providers to meet the needs of a variety of mobile
wireless applications. From ruggedized, battery powered, locate and
track-only modules, to full-featured modules easily integrated with
proprietary auto alarm systems, Airdesk Mobile provides the highest level
of flexibility for mobile application providers.
Numerex selected Trimble, a world leader in GPS technology, to assist
in the design and development of the solution's custom modules. With next-
generation Trimble technology and products, Airdesk Mobile sets new
standards in advanced features and reliability. "We've worked very closely
with the Numerex development team to deliver the best technology available
for their solution," said Bill Dussell, Director of Integrated Products for
Trimble's Advanced Devices Division. "The feature set and services they are
delivering will be hard to match in the market."
"With Airdesk Mobile, Numerex is pleased to bring to the market not
only the best in network technology and hardware, but also the kind of
proven, lasting business, marketing, technical and customer support that
drive long- term success," said Chuck Horne, Senior Vice President of
Marketing for Numerex. "Beyond the tracking technology, hardware and
network services, Airdesk Mobile offers a variety of value-added services,
including dealer co- marketing, 24x7 dealer and end-user support,
integration expertise, redundant network operations centers, and flexible
billing options."
Available now through distributors, Airdesk Mobile is the latest M2M
solution announced by Numerex this year as the company continues to rapidly
expand its portfolio of both fixed and mobile solutions.
