SiriCOMM Inc has announced an expanded services agreement with DriverTech Inc. Under terms of the agreement, DriverTech has committed to resell access to SiriCOMM's Wi-Fi network with the DT-3000 Truck-PC, DriverTech's “rug-gedized” cab-mounted driver computer that uses satellite, cellular, and wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) to transmit data.
The DT-3000 Truck-PC needed access to a wireless broadband network. It has relied on cellular and satellite systems to transmit vehicle location, dispatches and dispatch status, vehicle data, scanned document images, emergency data, and other information requiring lower bandwidth and low data rates. The functionality of the DT-3000 Truck-PC is expanded by SiriCOMM's nationwide broadband network.
DriverTech will also become a partner in SiriCOMM's Value Added Reseller program and sell the entire suite of SiriCOMM application services. Additionally, SiriCOMM plans to integrate its fleet productivity applications with the DT-3000 Truck-PC and will include other DriverTech devices as part of its sales offering to truck fleets.
