CSI Wireless Inc., a provider of advanced wireless and GPS products, announced that its Fleet-Link asset-tracking product is now being shipped
to application service providers, OEMs and other customers. Fleet-Link is a self-powered asset-tracking product to remotely monitor and manage truck trailers, freight containers and other mobile assets from a central command centre.
The first model of Fleet-Link – including a solar-powered option – is suited to trucking. It communicates over the low-cost MicroBurst cellular network, developed by Aeris.net, which provides seamless coverage throughout North America.
CSI Wireless will soon introduce a second model of Fleet-Link for the global marketplace – to serve trucking companies and other overland shippers, plus container ships and other ocean-traveling vessels. This version will communicate using the GSM cellular technology that is employed by AT&T Wireless and Cingular in the U.S. and many other providers around the world.
