Mobile data terminal designed for local fleets

Aug. 7, 2014

Advantech-DLoG has released a mobile data terminal designed for applications associated with the local fleet market, including local and private delivery, armor cash carriers, postal trucks, government vehicles, couriers and LTL (less-than-truckload) carriers.

The TREK-520 RISC-based mobile data terminal works with the TREK-520 MDT.

Also available is the TREK-303DH, a 7 in. vehicle display system.

The TREK-303DH has automotive-grade working temperature ranges of -30 to 70 deg. C and a resolution of 800 x 480 making it compatible with other TREK box solutions via a single cable connection. The TREK-303DH can controlled from buttons located on the side. For night driving, the panel has an auto detecting light sensor to automatically adjust the brightness.
