Qualcomm Inc., based in San Diego, has introduced new software elements for users of its OmniTracs and OmniExpress mobile communications systems and Fleet Advisor management solution.

At the same time, the company announced the launch of the Qualcomm Professional Services team to provide fleet customers with application installation, systems integration, testing, phased implementation training and complete project management.
"The team will specialize in providing advanced mobile and IT service offerings that help customers achieve superior productivity and operational savings in their organization," said Glynn Spangenberg, vice president and general manager, Qualcomm Wireless Business Solutions.
The new software offerings include:
