Japanese location and navigation technology provider 7420 Zenrin DataCom has substantially increased its in presence in the Indian and South East Asian telematics sector with the acquisition of Singapore-based 7421 InfoTrack Telematics. As part of the acquisition, Zenrin-DataCom will become majority owner of Cert Infotrack Telematics, based in Bangalore, India.
