548 Advantech has announced the TREK-550, an industrial in-vehicle dedicated box computer. When placed in transport trucks, buses, vehicle fleets and taxis, the device can be connected to a variety of monitoring systems, including OnBoard Diagnostics (OBD-II), a Car Area Network (CAN) and Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS). Built-in wireless communications (WWAN, WLAN, Bluetooth) allow TREK-550 to send data back to a central site, as well as to receive over-the-air (AOTA) updates and communicate with central dispatch. The unit is ISO 7637/SAE J1455 Class A/SAE J1113 certified and is able to operate in extreme temperatures and transient power conditions.

The dual-audio and video outputs allow independent displays such as the TREK-303 to be attached, providing in-cab or passenger display applications.
