Marketwired
CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading provider of wireless
products, services and solutions, today introduced two new MRM
products designed specifically for tracking trailers and other
towable equipment. The products were unveiled at the CTIA 2011
Wireless Show in Orlando, FL.
"Many of our MRM customers have 'drop and leave' assets that may
be left untended for extended periods -- assets ranging from
containers, trailers, and semi-trailer roll-offs to towable
equipment such as chippers, generators and portable tool lockers.
Knowing the status and location of these field assets can be an
inventory control nightmare," said Greg Gower, Vice President and
General Manager of CalAmp's Mobile Resource Management business.
"CalAmp's new maintenance-free Trailer Tracking Units can operate
for months, and even years, without recharging or replacing
batteries, to keep mobile asset owners in touch with their
property, wherever it may be."
CalAmp's new Trailer Tracking Units (TTU) combine new enhanced
battery power management with precision GPS satellite tracking
employing u-blox' SuperSense technology and superior cellular-based
wireless communications for tethered or untethered trailers. Both
new products employ CalAmp's pioneering PEG™ (Programmable Event
Generator) and PULS™ (Programming, Update and Logistics System)
that enable customization of product behavior and Over-the-Air
updatability, along with built-in motion sensor and internal
wireless antenna, to facilitate anywhere installation and deliver
unrivaled performance. The new products are:
TTU-700 -- Trailer-Tracking Unit with
replaceable seven-year non-rechargeable battery
The TTU-700 is a fully sealed, battery-powered asset tracking
and communications device, featuring a rugged enclosure, superior
cellular and GPS performance, and exceptional power management
functions. This non-rechargeable trailer-tracker is designed for
reliable, multi-year deployments of up to seven years with one
daily message or 5,000 message cycles. The extended battery life is
made possible by a highly efficient power management process
utilizing ultra-low sleep current. The non-rechargeable battery
pack can be replaced in the field, extending daily messaging
capability for up to another seven years. Featuring internal GPS
and cellular antennas, the sealed and rugged IP67-rated enclosure
is designed to withstand the harshest outdoor environments. The
TTU-700 is an ideal solution for managing remote assets that will
be deployed for long periods, without requiring maintenance.
TTU-1200 -- Trailer-Tracking Unit with
six-month rechargeable battery
The TTU-1200 features enhanced, low-power battery management,
superior two-way cellular data communications and GPS positioning
capability. This 12/24-volt product with a rechargeable battery
pack is designed for reliable, long-term deployments. It is the
ideal solution for managing trailers and towable assets that are
normally tethered to 12/24-volt systems, but may sit idle for
extended periods. The TTU-1200 is designed to operate for up to six
months with daily messaging (500 message cycles) or 18 months
without messages, before recharging is needed. The IP66-rated
sealed enclosure is designed to withstand the outdoor elements.
CalAmp is exhibiting both products in Booth #2071 at the CTIA
2011 Wireless Show in Orlando through March 24, 2011.
