CSI Wireless Inc., a designer and manufacturer of advanced GPS and wireless products, has introduced Fleet-Link, a tracking and reporting device for remotely managing tractor trailers and other mobile assets and cargo.

An extension of CSI Wireless' Asset-Link family of fleet-tracking and telematics products, the GPS- and cellular-equipped Fleet-Link can function using the truck's power system or using solar power -- enabling untethered or unpowered trailers to continue reporting their status for up to 60 days without any external electrical source.
"Fleet-Link is ideal for monitoring the status and whereabouts of tractor trailers, containers, leased vehicles, hazardous shipments and other high-value cargo," said Stephen Verhoeff, CSI Wireless' president and CEO.
"Knowing when a truck trailer has been untethered, where a hazardous load is, when an alarm system has been disabled, when a refrigeration unit's temperature is out of the safe range, or when a load has made an unscheduled start or stop, can mean the difference between profit and loss -- and safety,"
Fleet-Link, which will be available by late summer, can be programmed with any combination of 65 different exceptions, meters, actions, events, engine controls, notifications and inclusions.
The standard Fleet-Link unit contains the GPS receiver, communications link, rechargeable batteries, back-up power port and antennas. A solar-powered version that is also available can charge internal or external batteries. It is encased in a rugged outer housing and a separate solar panel with embedded antennas for satellite signal reception and cellular communication.
