and driver behavior features to improve fleet operations and

“Organizations can now monitor all their critical vehicle data
and manage their entire fleet through a single pane of glass with
our AirLink router and management systems,” said Jason Krause,
Senior Vice President and General Manager, Enterprise Solutions,
Sierra Wireless. “No other router solution in this class can
deliver this level of vehicle awareness and connectivity to fleet
and IT managers.”
The MP70 router is optimized for the world’s most demanding
wireless applications, including public safety, field services and
transit. The MP70 provides a high-performance vehicle networking
solution to connect multiple high-bandwidth applications in and
around the vehicle, while also providing IT departments with the
flexibility to manage mobile assets in the cloud or in the
enterprise data center using Sierra Wireless AirLink Network
Management solutions.
“We’re testing this capability now, and it is going to give our
fleet manager all of the information he needs to proactively
support our vehicles,” said Jay Cooper, Director Ancillary
Services, Mobile Medical Response. “With Sierra Wireless’ AirLink
solution, I don’t have to invest an extra $200 - $400 per vehicle
in separate systems to provide vehicle telemetry, inertial
navigation and driver behavior reporting. It’s all supported on the
router, and the data is instantly accessible in the management
system.”
With the upcoming software release (ALEOS 4.9.0), the MP70 will
support an integrated vehicle bus interface using a direct cable
connection (OBD-II and J1939), so customers no longer need to buy
external dongles or scanners to monitor vehicle health. The new
release also enables built-in sensors (accelerometer and gyroscope)
for inertial navigation to provide precise geo-location
capabilities, even in urban canyons and underground garages where
satellites can’t be seen. The built-in sensors also provide
the ability to monitor driver behavior, including harsh
acceleration and braking.
The MP70 seamlessly integrates out of the box with the AirLink
Mobility Manager (AMM)—an end-to-end network management solution
that enables instant network insight and control for centralized
and remote management, monitoring and configuration. AMM is
available as a cloud service or as an on-premise solution. With the
release of AMM 2.16 on Sept. 15, 2017, AMM now integrates telemetry
features across the AirLink in-vehicle product line.
Availability
The AirLink MP70 with support for vehicle telemetry, inertial
navigation and driver behavior features is commercially available
through Sierra Wireless’ authorized channel partners worldwide. The
ALEOS 4.9.0 release will be available at the end of September 2017.
