PR Newswire (US)
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NowAuto Group
(OTC:NAUG) announces today that wholly owned subsidiary, Navicom
GPS announced its commercial launch of its new Microburst, GPS and
q network today. Over 100 pre-ordered units of Navicom's Navitraq V
shipped this week and are being installed across the country.
Completion of existing orders will be shipped in the next week. The
hardware development and software portal are complete and units are
now being provisioned directly on the Navicom-owned q network. The
web portal has launched with increasingly popular full feature set,
GPS tracking, Door Unlock, Starter disable, Geofence, speed alert,
entire fleet viewing capability, automatic scheduling feature as
well as the ability to download and transfer tracking information
in a customizable format. "We've rigorously tested this product
with various customers with our own backend hardware and software
platform for close to 45 days. We've been running all the automated
functions such as voice notification when the device breaks
geo-fence areas and testing email notifications to BlackBerry
devices when speeds go above pre-programmed limits. It's extremely
gratifying to see a product that your company manufactures and runs
on a platform that you built work real-time. This is an exciting
day for Navicom and I'm proud to see this project come to
fruition," said Keith Tench, President of Navicom. Navicom plans to
stay ahead of the competition by adding robust feature set options
that will continually be added as Navicom further develops the
applications with the research and development partners.
Additionally, the backend was built to support both Microburst
technology and the digital EGPRS platform. Both are scalable to
interface with legacy systems. "Our development team has been
working diligently on the web portal as well as the multiple HP
servers that we own located in the San Francisco Bay Area, next to
the Giants ballpark, in a secure climate control environment. These
servers are backed up by redundant IBM servers located on the East
Coast to further provide a level of security both man-made or
otherwise for our customers. This monumental project of contracting
directly with a manufacturer to build a product specific for your
company will provide long-term dividends to Navicom Inc. as we move
further toward our goal of becoming the premier provider of
telemetry and GPS-based tracking," said John Pappas, Executive VP
of Business Development. More information about the Navicom
products and network will be released later today. About Navicom
