Xata Turnpike Supports Google's Android(TM), North America's Largest Mobile Platform
June 08 2011 - 10:28AM
Xata Corporation (Nasdaq:XATA), a leader in fleet optimization
software, today announced that its Xata Turnpike fleet management
and compliance solution now supports the Google Android™
mobile-device operating system across multiple wireless carriers.
The fastest-growing mobile platform in North America, Android
gives customers more feature-rich mobile device options for running
Xata Turnpike, routinely mentioned by the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration (FMCSA) as the most cost-effective electronic
onboard recorder (EOBR) on the market. The Android platform also
gives Xata Turnpike users functionality on the new Samsung Galaxy
Tab, a tablet computer for email, web browsing and other multimedia
tasks.
"Xata Turnpike has always been known for being driver friendly,
and we're now going to be known for being the most device-friendly
fleet management solution on the market," said Christian Schenk,
vice president, product marketing, Xata. "Our support of Android
and our upcoming launch of the industry's first fleet management
system for an inexpensive, off-the-shelf tablet computer enhances
Xata's reputation as an industry pioneer and further secures our
leadership position in the market."
By bringing its easy-to-use tools to the Android operating
system, Xata can now better serve the growing number of fleets and
drivers who are seeking affordable solutions to help them adhere to
the Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) program, FMCSA's
initiative for reducing commercial motor vehicle accidents.
Xata Turnpike is already certified to run on several
Android-enabled smartphones, and additional Android devices will be
certified in the coming weeks, including the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
The largest Galaxy Tab comes with a 7-inch, high-resolution
touchscreen, giving drivers what they want most: an extra-large
screen with an easy-to-use hours of service (HOS) graphical
interface that supports fingertip scrolling and pinch-to-zoom.
The Galaxy Tab and all Android-enabled devices certified for
Xata Turnpike are ideal for drivers who want to run their fleet
management system on the same device they use for off-duty
activities, such as emailing, web browsing, reading and watching TV
or movies.
Additionally, Xata Turnpike for Android includes a mobile API
that third-party applications can leverage to access basic vehicle
and driver information, including driver and vehicle identification
numbers, mileage, motion, speed and GPS.
