Teletouch launches asset tracking product line

TYLER, Texas-Teletouch Communications Inc. launched its latest generation of wireless mobile asset tracking products, which includes start/stop motion detection.

The product includes traditional location reporting features as well as a new feature that notifies fleet managers when a trailer is in motion and when it breaks a designated “geofence.” Geofences are borders of a specific area, such as a terminal.

When a trailer starts or stops moving, the devices transmit the location and other data via satellite to the mapping software at the trucking company’s fleet management office, said the company. Knowing when a trailer is moving and when it is on course allows companies to log time more effectively and develop more efficient routing, billing and payment procedures.
