SiriCOMM Inc., an applications service provider and nationwide broadband wireless network operator serving the highway transportation industry, announced that InTouch wireless ISP subscriptions are exceeding company expectations.

Over-the-road truck drivers are demonstrating demand for the service.
"This is a revolutionary time for our industry," said Hank Hoffman, SiriCOMM president and CEO. "In an extraordinary short period of time, Internet usage within the trucking industry has evolved from a novelty and entertainment medium into a real business tool. Use of the Internet continues to positively impact the drivers and fleet operations. The rapid growth in InTouch subscribers along with their usage habits supports this increasing trend."
SiriCOMM owns and operates the largest Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) network designed to support the $500-billion trucking industry. The network is designed to provide both Internet connectivity and a robust host platform for productivity applications. The company expects to begin the rollout of Beacon, a suite of fleet productivity tools, later this year as well as hosted software solutions developed by its third-party partners such as Maptuit, DriverTech and Idling Solutions within the next few weeks.
Hoffman continued, "SiriCOMM focuses on technology services that support our vision of empowering drivers to develop into knowledge workers. We believe that the combination of wireless Internet access and in-cab distributed computing will drive the next generation of productivity and cost improvements so critical to the long-term health of the commercial trucking industry."
InTouch is available at SiriCOMM Wi-Fi Hot Spots installed at Pilot Travel Center locations nationwide, as well as independent travel centers, truck fleet terminals and select roadside weigh stations that feature PrePass. The company plans to continue installing hot spots, focusing on high-traffic locations frequented by truck drivers and other industry stakeholders.
