Qualcomm, San Diego, unveiled OmniOne, a low-cost transportation application for digital mobile phones that will give trucking companies, affiliate fleets and subcontractors a powerful, portable communications tool.

OmniOne will let drivers and dispatchers to receive and send load assignments, status updates and other information. The OmniOne application is designed to run on Qualcomm's Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW) platform, a standardized applications execution environment for wireless devices.
"OmniOne is a high-value tool that empowers owner-operators and affiliate fleets to work more productively while on the road," said Chris Wolfe, president of Qualcomm Wireless Business Solutions. "Currently, more than 80 percent of owner-operators rely primarily on public pay telephones and personal mobile phones to receive their work assignments and to report status to their customers. OmniOne eliminates this inconvenient process."
OmniOne seamlessly integrates with current Qualcomm OmniTracs and OmniExpress systems, features two-way data and voice communication, data integration, store-and-forward guaranteed messaging, and other services such as mapping and directions.
