Enables efficient and secure tracking,
monitoring and management of transport bus fleet
ORBCOMM Inc. (Nasdaq:ORBC), a leading global provider of
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions,
announced today that Kevadiya Inc. (Kevadiya) has selected ORBCOMM
to provide satellite communications services and hardware in
support of the Vehicle Tracking Program within the Federal Bureau
of Prisons (BOP), which is a federal law enforcement agency and
subdivision of the U.S. Department of Justice. Kevadiya, one of
Michigan’s top full-spectrum cloud and mobile computing solution
providers to the government, healthcare, manufacturing, and
consumer market segments, will be providing their fleet mobility
tracking solution as part of the BOP program.
The Kevadiya and ORBCOMM solution for the BOP will provide
position and performance data for their fleet of transport buses as
well as route and trip management, customized maintenance reporting
and two-way communication with drivers no matter where they are.
The solution will enable BOP system administrators to gain full
visibility of their fleet, optimize routing based on scheduling and
vehicle requirements, receive notification of any route deviations,
and take immediate action in the event of an emergency.
In addition, the solution utilizes Kevadiya’s scalable
application framework, which employs a reusable architecture for
implementing Section 508, FedRAMP and ATO compliant applications.
These are all common requirements in highly sensitive and secure
government applications and hosting solutions. The Kevadiya program
can also be expanded to a RFID-based (Radio Frequency
Identification) driver and passenger manifest system using
ORBCOMM’s IDP-782 dual-mode device installed in the buses and
connected to a RFID reader, which transmits the information over a
satellite communications backbone.
“Together with Kevadiya, we have built a comprehensive fleet
monitoring solution for the Bureau of Prisons that meets the
highest levels of reliability and security required for this type
of government application,” said Marc Eisenberg, ORBCOMM’s Chief
Executive Officer. “We hope to continue expanding our partnership
with Kevadiya to deliver advanced telematics solutions that improve
operational efficiency and logistics management for a broad variety
of commercial and government customers.”
“We are excited to partner with ORBCOMM on the Bureau of Prisons
Mobility Telematics Program to deliver an end-to-end telematics
solution that provides full visibility and two-way communication
with their fleet of transport buses anytime, anywhere,” said Nilesh
Patel, PhD, Vice President of Engineering for Kevadiya, Inc.
“Leveraging Kevadiya’s modular application framework offers the BOP
a unique advantage by expediting the development, certification and
compliance process for building this telematics program so they can
see the ROI benefits of the solution immediately.”
