NovaTracker is introducing a more intelligent generation of highly customizable wireless and GPS hardware solutions powered by proprietary technology that integrates easily with most vehicle tracking software and significantly cuts transmission costs.
Fleet managers consistently report that as much as 50 percent of the information they receive from a GPS solution isn’t precisely what they need, so the other half results in higher transmission costs.
The Maya is an extremely versatile and reliable in-vehicle GPS equipped, GSM capable data hub that allows existing fleet management software solutions to do far more, with less. Engineered specifically for the fleet-tracking industry, Maya generates an unparalleled array of customized and highly relevant data transmissions.
Leveraging the intelligent technology developed by NovaTracker as the proprietary platform for its wireless and GPS solutions — Maya becomes an in-vehicle network hub. Specifically, this intelligent unit is capable of providing a large range of data types such as location reporting, vehicle status and a wide variety of event codes including geofence violation. It is the only device on the market today that will transmit information the customer has specified with as many as 16 different variables.

What information is provided by GPS vehicle tracking systems? Here is a summary and examples of how you could use data provided by GPS tracking devices:
-
Location data: Latitude and longitude provided in degrees, minutes and seconds. It is accurate to 33 feet, which is as accurate as any commercial GPS device. A vehicle’s location is updated at intervals of between 2 - 15 minutes. The standard update interval varies between manufacturers or can be set by the owner (optional).
-
Who is closest to the customer that just called? See where all your employees are by checking the map. Never again call an employee just to find out where they are!
-
Speed calculation: Rate of movement in miles per hour. Movement in excess of a preset speed (standard) or owner-set speed (optional) triggers an alert, sent to the owner.
-
Are employees routinely speeding? Speeding causes excessive wear and wastes gasoline. Your vehicles represent your company to the public; what kind of an image is presented by a speeding or recklessly-driven company vehicle?

D2000M/MD Provides Instant Vehicle and Vessel Location Anywhere on Earth.
Blue Sky Network, the global logistics solution provider for two-way linking and managing transportation assets via satellite, today announced that it has begun initial shipments of its D2000M/MD product line. This conveniently sized satellite terminal provides customers with real-time position reporting of land-based vehicles and water-based vessels over the Iridium satellite network, as well as two-way messaging capabilities and GPS mapping, including Google Earth integration, courtesy of Blue Sky Network’s interactive Web portal, SkyRouter.
The D2000M/MD addresses the needs of mobile asset managers including those working with large/small trucks, tractor-trailers, lone-workers, container ships and more. With its lightweight 2.2-pound form factor, it makes the most of limited storage space available on many transportation assets. Additionally, since its battery runs over 24 hours in a single charge, users without access to electricity can still maintain constant communication with their dispatch offices.

Spoornet, the rail transport division of Transnet, a diversified organization for the South African government, will equip their general freight rail fleet of 80,000 wagons with TransCore’s radio frequency identification (RFID)-based Automatic Equipment Identification (AEI) technology in a multimillion dollar contract to improve asset maintenance and utilization. TransCore is teaming with ANSYS Integrated Systems to deliver an initial order of 160,000 tags. The project is scheduled for completion in 2008.
Managing rail wagon assets represents a large expense, ranging from tens to hundreds of millions of dollars, so consequently, in-transit visibility into their location, status of a load, maintenance status, or avoiding it sitting empty in a rail yard poses an extraordinary communication process among multiple systems in an expansive transportation network. Using wireless RFID technology to monitor railway operational efficiency saves time and money by automating the process of tracking the location and status of railway equipment in both a high and low speed environment.
