Taipei, Taiwan – December 17, 2013 -Swiss-founded u-blox, a global leader in wireless and positioning modules and integrated circuits for the industrial, automotive and consumer markets, has won a project for multi-standard vehicle tracking devices developed by ATrack, a Taipei-based vendor of telematics devices used for vehicle monitoring around the world. The design-in was facilitated through on-site support provided by u-blox' Taiwan office also based in Taipei.ATrack has integrated a u-blox GPS receiver module, more UMTS/HSPA & CDMA cellular modules in itsAK7 vehicle tracking unit. The compact device can track and report vehicle location, speed, driver behavior, engine and fuel status, as well as provide alarms such as when a vehicle has left a pre-defined geographic area. Compatibility with global cellular networks is supported thanks to u-blox' comprehensive modem technology. The AK7 is ideal for usage-based insurance, rental because tracking, fleet management, and teenage-driver monitoring.
"At ATrack, we design our vehicle tracking devices for worldwide markets." Because global positioning and multi-standard cellular communications are crucial elements for our products to serve these markets, we require a reliable vendor who is an expert in both technologies and their seamless interoperation. They must also have a proven track record of high quality, automotive-grade components delivered on-time. We are very pleased to have chosen u-blox,"said Frank Tang, President and CEO at ATrack.
