Qualcomm unveils new mobile platform with in-cab training option
ORLANDO. Qualcomm Inc. chose the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) Annual Convention here to debut its new Mobile Computing Platform 200 Series (MCP200). The new platform does not replace the company’s current in-cab Mobile Computing Platform (MCP), which has reached an installed base of some 33,000 active units.
The new MCP200 is designed to deliver even greater functionality to the cab with an expanded set of OmniVisionSM Transportation Services, including Wi-Fi, in-cab training, Internet access, video and multi-mode capability. According to Qualcomm, the premium capabilities of the MPC200 will enable fleets to transform their cabs into mobile operations centers, moving office data such as targeted customer information, payroll information or even training lessons to the field.
“The MPC200 Series is part of an end-to-end solution that enables transportation companies to migrate functions previously confined to an office to the mobile environment of the cab,” Norm Ellis, vp of transportation and logistics sales and service for Qualcomm Enterprise Services, told FleetOwner. “Drivers can now access a wide range of information when they need it.”
