The DT4000 incorporates Orbcomm for satellite coverage and low-cost messaging as well as cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity for the most cost-efficient message routing. Leading customers such as U.S. Xpress, Interstate Distributor, and Anderson Trucking Service are some of the large fleets who have installed and are using the DriverTech system, as well as many others that are currently piloting the system.
"DriverTech has created a solution that literally delivers the best of all worlds: the most cost-efficient message routing and satellite coverage. Best of all, our DT4000 delivers these benefits while saving our customers nearly 60% of airtime costs compared to other tracking systems that rely on single-mode communications with comparable coverage," said Mark Haslam, DriverTech's president and CEO. He continued, "The DT4000 offers an integrated onboard computing and communications solution that provides trucking fleets a migration path to embrace an 'open' computing platform while significantly lowering their existing communication costs."
With integrated GPS, nationwide street-level mapping, Microsoft Windows XP, open-architecture hardware and more, this solution gives DriverTech customers the Next Generation" system that will meet their current and future needs. The DriverTech system is also being introduced into other markets, including private fleets, military and waste removal. This is possible because of the platform's flexibility and the ease with which new applications can be created.
