Cadec Corporation, a leader in providing onboard logistics management to the transportation industry, and Aether Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:AETH), a leading provider of wireless data products and services, today announced that Cadec has adopted Aether Fusion(TM) to provide cost-effective, real-time wireless data access to the transportation industry.
The announcement was made today at a joint press conference at the National Private Truck Council's Annual Education/Management Conference and Exhibition. Aether Fusion(TM), Aether's single-source foundation for wireless access to information and applications, will provide wide area wireless connectivity to Cadec's Mobius TTS(TM), a high-powered onboard computer running on a Microsoft(R) Windows(R) CE platform.
Mobius TTS provides access to accurate, precise data such as vehicle monitoring, automated DOT logs and fuel tax reporting with the intelligence, flexibility, and capabilities of a powerful desktop computer. Mobius TTS currently uses short range RF to transmit data between the truck and the office. By incorporating Aether Fusion with Mobius TTS, Cadec will be able to offer its customers secure and reliable wide area wireless access to real-time data.
"As a leader in providing onboard logistics management to the transportation industry, it is our number one priority to give our customers the choices and flexibility they desire." stated Les Dole, president and chief executive officer of Cadec Corporation. "Mobius TTS is an open and powerful onboard computer that interfaces with a variety of technology sources. By teaming Mobius TTS with Aether's services, our customers can be guaranteed a robust, reliable, cost effective and hassle-free wide area wireless communications solution."
Aether Fusion unifies a wide array of Aether and industry-standard technology components, which can be used in a modular fashion to extend existing and future business applications wirelessly to any handheld device over any wireless network. Aether Fusion incorporates Aether's advanced hosting services, award-winning ScoutWare(TM) family of mobile device synchronization and management software, and its Aether Intelligent Messaging (AIM) data transport layer, which enhances the speed, efficiency and security of data transmission over all wireless networks.
"By combining the Aether Fusion wireless foundation with Cadec's powerful onboard computers, fleet managers can now receive such information as status of deliveries, vehicle condition and distance traveled in a cost-effective and organized manner," stated Bill Hannon, vice president, Aether Transportation and Logistics. "Fleet managers will also be better equipped to manage and track the status of their vehicles and, if needed, share that information with their customers. Aether is very excited to further demonstrate the benefits of wireless data in the transportation industry with a proven leader such as Cadec, and we look forward to a successful partnership."
