GeoLogic Solutions announced that its new Color Display Unit (CDU) has been released as an option for new and currently deployed MobileMax users. The new Windows-based touch-screen technology, which has undergone field testing by several fleets recently, is now commercially available.
A key design and engineering goal for the CDU was backwards compatibility. As a result, the GeoLogic CDU is fully compatible with existing MobileMax systems, which means that upgrades are simply a matter of replacing the existing Keyboard/ Display Unit (KDU) and its cable with the new CDU and its cable. All other cables and the system's transceiver dome remain in place when upgrading.
With the inclusion of the new CDU, MobileMax will continue to operate on a Multi-Mode platform, using both cellular or satellite networks to ensure the best combination of message speed and coverage. Fleets will also continue to have access to real-time data over the GPRS-based network from the new AT&T (formerly Cingular), as well as the MobileMax system's over-the-air programming capability.
