Qualcomm Inc., San Diego, Ca., announced a strategic relationship with Snap-On Inc. to develop and market integrated remote diagnostics

and mobile asset management solutions for the transportation, logistics and heavy equipment industries.
Qualcomm and Snap-on plan to integrate Snap-on's eTechnician application, a Web-based remote vehicle monitoring and diagnostics solution, with Qualcomm’s OmniTRACS fleet management solution.
Snap-on's eTechnician enables communication of vehicle diagnostic data to a central base and the ability of management to query vehicle data at any time. The application also has a command-and-control feature enabling vehicle control and the re-programming of vehicle parameters while the vehicle is traveling.
Snap-on’s eTechnician is marketed under the Nexiq trade name.
Other Qualcomm Snap-on initiatives include jointly exploring asset management solutions for vehicle manufacturers and opportunities in the emerging market for vehicle security solutions.
