IMS Releases DriveSync(TM) Bluetooth(R) Upgrade Customers to Benefit from Wireless Technology
WATERLOO, ON, Oct. 30 - Intelligent Mechatronic Systems Inc. (IMS),
a world leader in telematics solutions, released today the DriveSync(TM)
Bluetooth(R) upgrade. The Bluetooth(R) technology will allow DriveSync(TM)
customers to wirelessly upload their driving data, providing them with greater
control over data management and improved fleet efficiency.
DriveSync(TM) GPS vehicle tracking allows vehicle owners to monitor when,
where, how far, how fast and how aggressively their vehicle is driven.
Detailed trip logs, route maps and mileage reports provide drivers with a
conclusive analysis of vehicle use and driving habits, and the knowledge to
identify and correct unsafe or inefficient driving behavior. It's information
that's not only constructive, but also affordable; there are no monthly fees
for standard reports.
The DriveSync(TM) Bluetooth(R) upgrade will allow drivers to wirelessly
transfer driving data to their computer, without manual operation. Once the
vehicle is within 300 feet (100 meters) of the proprietary IMS Bluetooth(R)
Gateway (receiver), the driving data is sent wirelessly to the customer's
computer. From there the data is uploaded automatically and directly to the
DriveSync(TM) Web Portal, where the customer can view their driving reports,
trip logs and route maps. These reports can be used to determine driving tax
allowances, fuel consumption rates, vehicle maintenance schedules and more.
Because the DriveSync(TM) solution is modular, upgradeable and scalable
in design, customers do not have to replace their existing DriveSync(TM) unit
to take advantage of the Bluetooth(R) capabilities. They need only substitute
their passive USB data key with a Bluetooth(R) data key, add the Bluetooth(R)
Gateway (both available from DriveSync(TM)) and their unit will have full
Bluetooth(R) functionality. One Gateway can manage multiple vehicles, and will
send each vehicle's specific driving data to their appropriate DriveSync(TM)
account.
"The Bluetooth(R) upgrade will help ensure driving data is regularly
transferred to the DriveSync(TM) Web Portal, thereby providing fleet owners
with the most recent and accurate driving reports for each vehicle", says John
Reynolds, Vice President of Business Development at IMS. "As a further
benefit, the upgrade provides fleet owners with many of the benefits of a
real-time system, but without the high monthly service fees. So they can take
advantage of both improved fleet efficiency and cost savings."
The DriveSync(TM) Bluetooth(R) upgrade will be available in December
2006.
