Business Wire
CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading provider of
wireless products, services and solutions, announced today the
integration of the Garmin Fleet Management Interface (FMI) V2 into
the CalAmp LMU-4100� Location Messaging Unit. The integrated
solution enhances the functionality of the LMU-4100 by enabling
fleet tracking, messaging, dispatch and navigation directly on
Garmin�s portable navigation device. The integrated product
offering is expected to improve customer response, optimize fleet
resources, and ultimately achieve lower costs and higher profits
for enterprise customers.
CalAmp�s LMU-4100 provides global positioning satellite (GPS)
and wireless asset tracking capabilities in a self-contained
telematics unit with GPRS, CDMA and iDEN versions, and an
integrated, highly sensitive GPS capability. The integration of the
Garmin FMI V2 enables users to connect a Garmin n�vi� 2x5, 4x5,
5x5, 5000, 7x5 or 8x5 series product to the LMU-4100 and have an
advanced mobile data terminal coupled with a Garmin navigation
device. This will allow fleet dispatchers to send multiple
destinations and other instructions directly to their drivers. With
a tap on the screen, drivers can access detailed turn-by-turn,
text-to-speech, voice-prompted directions to their destinations.
Canned responses and messages, as well as driver identification and
driver status protocol features are also available.
�We are extremely pleased to be a Garmin FMI partner and offer
these services to our fleet management customers,� said Greg Gower,
Vice President and General Manager of CalAmp�s Mobile Resource
Management Group. �The combination of the LMU-4100 and the Garmin
FMI V2 allows the location of every mobile asset to be pinpointed
allowing efficient deployment and operation of vehicles.�
�By integrating Garmin�s FMI V2 with CalAmp�s robust system,
fleet operators can substantially increase the productivity of
their mobile workforce by downloading daily pickup and delivery
stops, tracking the location of their drivers and vehicles, and
communicating to the drivers through an intuitive text-based
user-interface,� said Roger Jollis, Garmin�s director of OEM and
mobile marketing. �We are very pleased to work with CalAmp and are
confident that their customers will value the advantages the Garmin
FMI V2 offers.�
