Aether Systems Inc., Owings Mills, Md., announced that Elite Carriers is phasing out a competitor's cellular-based system in favor of MobileMax

, Aether's multi-mode wireless communications and tracking solution. MobileMax switches between land-based and satellite communications without driver or dispatcher intervention for complete coverage and cost-efficient communications. Elite Carriers will equip 100 trucks with MobileMax over the next two years.
Elite Carriers specializes in just-in-time delivery for high-profile companies in the paper products industry. Although the mid-sized fleet chose to implement a cellular-based solution less than a year ago, they encountered several significant coverage gaps, particularly in critical areas within New Hampshire, New York and New Jersey. They determined that the system was not meeting their needs and a more complete and reliable solution was needed. Elite Carriers is based in Wausau, Wis.
According to Aether, Elite Carriers tested the leading mobile communications systems before selecting MobileMax.
