LANGON, FRANCE:TES Electronic Solutions, a leader in electronic design and manufacturing services, recently unveiled its latest initiative in the telematics market; a reference device called TITAN that can be quickly customised and tailored to address the majority of Telematics Service Providers requirements.
TES is leveraging its complete service breadth of electronic design and manufacturing together with its vast experience in RF and positioning technologies to the specific segment of telematics devices. The TITAN platform is the first of a range of reference platforms.
It is available in two configurations; a thin client device running Linux or Windows CE or as a low cost M2M platform. All reference designs and devices provide GPS, GSM/GPRS and basic but highly configurable I/O, while the thin client device offers an ARM 9 processor in addition to enable application deployment on the device.
The reference platform strategy is complemented with TES Electronic Solutions’ extensive design team to provide tailored telematics hardware and software solutions which can be rapidly moved into volume manufacturing in TES factories. Once in volume supply, customers can further benefit from TES’ logistics platform for device configuration and distribution to installation centres.
“In addition to applications that track vehicles and capital equipment, we are seeing new areas emerging such Pay As You Drive, Pay How You Drive and Pay When You Drive”, said Nick Walker, Senior Vice President of Business Development at TES. “Every application is different and needs optimised hardware and software in this rapidly growing and competitive market”, continued Walker.
“TES Electronic Solutions have all the skills and expertise to create, design, manufacture and distribute optimised telematics devices for every application. It’s a custom business where one size does not fit all, but all require a common set of basic functions. Our approach to the business is geared to allow the telematics service providers to focus on building out the applications based on the device while we take care of the device delivery”, he concluded.
Available now, the TITAN reference device is fitted with a Telit quad band modem including SiRF StarIII GPS that provides the communications and positioning technology, which can operate standalone for simple cost optimised applications. In the top end configuration, TITAN also includes an ARM 9 processor module for the OS and application for the more sophisticated telematics application.
The TITAN device is the first step in an emerging telematics strategy from TES. Further announcements will be made in the coming weeks.
