Transportation
OEM radio modems integrated with a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) receiver
provide transportation companies with a wireless communication model that can
provide accurate freight and driver status information. A complete fleet management
solution can be created, incorporating wireless communications with full function,
on-board computing and back office integration. Motient's MobileMAX2™
incorporates the RIM radio modem to automatically deliver vehicle information to
a central location. Using MobileMAX2 and a data-entry device, drivers can verify
pick-up and delivery data as well as provide status updates and reports.
Going Forward
Thanks to the overwhelming success of BlackBerry, RIM Wireless Handhelds and
RIM radio modems throughout fiscal 2000, RIM is now highly regarded as the
leading supplier of innovative wireless solutions throughout North America.
Expansion into Europe is expected within the next year and will open up a
new world of opportunities and growth for RIM.
With further expansion of the BlackBerry product line, as well as continuing to
make wireless product offerings faster, more efficient and more cost-effective, RIM
expects to continue to develop breakthrough wireless solutions.
