New functionality allows large organizations
and fleet management solution providers to rapidly develop
applications that reduce operating costs, streamline operations and
increase efficiency
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ:SWIR) (TSX:SW) today released an
advanced fleet management feature to support the company’s
industry-leading AirLink® GX450 mobile gateway, allowing it to
collect OBD-II vehicle telemetry data. This added functionality
will enable large organizations and fleet management solution
providers to rapidly develop applications to monitor vehicle health
and performance, helping them reduce costs, streamline operations
and increase efficiency.
Managing a vehicle-based workforce involves a large group of
stakeholders, including operations, IT and fleet management. By
combining mobile networking and rich vehicle telematics onto a
single platform that gathers and reports vehicle diagnostic data
directly to applications, this new feature will simplify and
centralize vehicle management across an organization. Organizations
will no longer need to purchase a separate in-vehicle telematics
platform to gather and monitor vehicle health data.
“We added advanced, easy-to-use telemetry to the AirLink GX450
to enable customers to simplify the adoption of vehicle telemetry
solutions, including the ability to leverage their existing
investment in fleet communications equipment,” said Jason Krause,
Senior Vice President, Enterprise Solutions, Sierra Wireless.
Clevest, a leading provider of mobile workforce management
solutions for utilities, has worked closely with Sierra Wireless
through the development of the AirLink GX450’s vehicle telemetry
feature to produce a complete workforce management and vehicle
monitoring solution.
“Our mobile workforce platform is tightly integrated with
AirLink gateways,” says Edna Menon, Senior Product Marketing
Manager, Clevest. “With the GX450 telemetry feature, our utility
customers can take advantage of robust vehicle diagnostic
capabilities, in addition to the reliability and ease-of-use of our
integrated solutions.”
The AirLink GX450 vehicle telemetry uses an optional OBD-II
accessory to collect vehicle diagnostic data and send it to a
remote server using an open messaging protocol (MQTT). Vehicle
telemetry is ideal for applications in public safety, utilities,
emergency and field services, and is designed for large
organizations or fleet management solution providers that have the
in-house resources to develop their own vehicle monitoring
applications. For more information on the AirLink GX450 mobile
