OXNARD, CA — (Marketwired) — 05/15/13 — (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading provider of wireless products, services and solutions, announced today a new wireless device designed specifically for tracking high-value shipments and assets. Targeting supply chain logistics and specialty transportation markets, the new CalAmp ATU-620 provides an extra measure of security and protection for valuable remote assets and premium goods in transit.
“Whether it-s a pallet of pharmaceuticals, a shipment of perishable meat, or a container of tablet computers, keeping track of high-value shipments is a critical business priority for many companies,” said Greg Gower, Senior Vice President and General Manager of CalAmp-s Mobile Resource Management business. “CalAmp delivers a solution that lets customers track their high-value assets wherever they may be, providing a positive location and a means of recovering these assets if a shipment is misrouted or stolen.”
CalAmp-s new ATU-620 combines enhanced battery management technology with precision Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite tracking and superior cellular-based wireless communications for extended monitoring of mobile goods and remote assets. Featuring highly sensitive embedded GPS and cellular antennas with a sealed and rugged IP67-rated enclosure, the ATU-620 is designed to perform in the harshest outdoor environments. Thanks to CalAmp-s unique, ultra-low-sleep power management process, the ATU-620 will operate for up to one year with one daily message on just six field replaceable AA batteries.
The new asset tracker employs CalAmp-s pioneering programmable event generator (PEG) and programming-update-logistics system (PULS) that enable extensive customization and over-the-air provisioning and firmware updating. Commercial shipments of the new ATU-620 will begin in late spring 2013.
