May 26, 2008—Sierra Wireless has introduced the newest addition to its AirLink product suite, the PinPoint XT–an intelligent device ideally suited for vehicle tracking, fleet management and telematics solutions, says the company. The PinPoint XT is expected to be widely available for GSM and CDMA networks worldwide in the second half of 2008.
For almost a decade, the Sierra Wireless AirLink suite of in-vehicle modems has provided high-value two-way mobile data solutions designed for public safety, mobile enterprise and field force enablement. By launching the PinPoint XT, Sierra Wireless can offer customers an intelligent solution for a wide range of Mobile Resource Management solutions, including fleet management, AVL, GPS tracking and vehicle diagnostics and telemetry.
The PinPoint XT will feature ALEOS, the embedded intelligence available exclusively on the Sierra Wireless line of AirLink products. Coupled with the AceWare suite of remote management tools, ALEOS lowers total cost of ownership by simplifying device setup and provisioning and provides customers with comprehensive remote configuration and diagnostic capabilities, says the company.
By leveraging the highly efficient location based services protocol feature built into ALEOS, third-party application providers can more thoroughly integrate GPS tracking applications with the PinPoint XT. This feature allows application providers to access the full complement of data, including digital and analog input status, odometer readings, low power state information, and network signal strength from the PinPoint XT, and enables seamless incorporation of both location and event data into their application.
