RSS602 U-Blox, the Swiss positioning and wireless chip and module company, has announced the official AT&T approval of LISA, the world’s smallest surface-mount 3G module for use on AT&T’s mobile broadband network. LISA is targeted for use in M2M, telematics, and other mobile devices for a wide variety of applications such as fleet management, emergency call, automatic vehicle location (AVL), asset tracking, security systems and remote metering. The device also includes U-blox’ proprietary CellLocate technology which supports geographical positioning in areas where GPS is not possible, such as in underground parking garages or tunnels.

    Commercial telematics consolidation
    The long awaited and much needed commercial telematics consolidation movement is finally coming to fruition, according to ABI Research. With Trimble’s acquisition of PeopleNet and Masternaut and Cybit combining forces, the extremely fragmented commercial telematics industry, which consists of hundreds of locally active players, is consolidating to become more globally-minded. These changes will allow the fleet management industry to grow towards yearly global revenues of US$6.43 billion by 2016.
