DIEGO, May 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Networkcar(R), a Reynolds and Reynolds
company (NYSE:REY) specializing in remotely monitoring vehicle
location and diagnostics, announced an agreement with Motorola,
Inc. (NYSE:MOT) for the procurement of G20 wireless modules. The
modules will support a GPRS-based product line expansion of the
Networkfleet(TM) wireless vehicle management system. With the new
product line, supported by Motorola's innovative module, Networkcar
will be able to deliver to customers a broad range of secure
wireless coverage options." "Motorola's technology will enhance our
ability to deliver fast, secure fleet productivity data to our
customers," said Paul Washicko, president of Networkcar.
"Motorola's expertise in automotive and wireless applications was a
key factor in our selection of its wireless modules for our new
GPRS product line offering." Networkfleet is a universal solution,
compatible with all types of light, medium and heavy vehicles. It
collects and organizes detailed location and performance
information directly from a vehicle's engine computer and a global
positioning system (GPS). This information is then transmitted
wirelessly from the vehicle to a network operation center and is
made available online for fleets to monitor such items as current
location, fuel consumption, mileage, emission status and speed from
any Internet-enabled computer, 24/7. The compact and cost-effective
G20 wireless module is designed to facilitate fast and easy
integration within an OEM product, reducing time to market. The G20
will provide Networkfleet with increased data transmission rates,
enhanced security capabilities and broad geographic coverage. "We
are pleased that Networkcar chose our module for their newest
offering. The company has been repeatedly recognized for its
leadership in the telematics industry, especially in remote vehicle
diagnostics," said Aviad Gefen, manager of Motorola's wireless
module unit. "With its small size, easy integration and low power
requirements, the G20 is perfectly suited to support the needs of
Networkfleet's vehicle management system." Networkcar will be
exhibiting at the National Association of Fleet Administrators Expo
in Orlando, Florida, on May 7 and 8. About Networkcar Networkcar
