Satamatics announces partnership with Dilupe for mobile data terminals and future co-development

Joint investment to focus on pre-defined and free text messaging in fleet management applications and mobile tracking markets


Tewkesbury, UK - 12th September 2007:
Satamatics, the global provider of satellite-telematics, asset tracking and monitoring services, has signed a long-term contract with Belgium's data terminal manufacturer Dilupe. Both companies will promote each others products and Satamatics will have exclusive rights to the DMT-70, a new data terminal designed by Dilupe to integrate into Satamatics' range of Inmarsat D+ and IsatM2M satellite terminals.

Satamatics is currently enhancing its turnkey solutions and part solutions for its global customer base of Value Added Resellers and Distributors. Dilupe's operator terminals will give the company an important building-block for fleet management solutions and other applications where text messaging, such as pre-defined status and free form messages, are crucial.

 

Kevin Killian, Sales Director of Dilupe, commented:   "Working with Satamatics has proved that robust operation doesn't have to be costly, our latest terminals combine superbly with Satamatics' terminals and infrastructure to give satellite messaging a new and rugged face."   He continued, "This is a long-term relationship, we fully expect to be developing terminals with Satamatics for many years to come."

Dilupe's DMT terminals, which comprise of tough keypads and displays, have matched Satamatics' satellite modems in terms of reliability and performance in previous deployments. Dilupe's data terminals provide very reliable tracking and fleet management applications, interfacing with operators and drivers in a variety of challenging environments. In developing these solutions Dilupe and Satamatics have co-developed, and thoroughly tested, interface software, which is re-configurable to meet any future customer requirements.

 

Peter Chisholm, CEO of Satamatics, commented:   "Satellite monitoring is becoming a mainstream technology for many land and maritime markets. Satamatics is providing many parts of the technology that make up the solutions including the communications and satellite-based terminals. Bringing the Dilupe DMT-70 to bear on these markets will provide our partners and customers with a text messaging product that is totally integrated with our network and hardware, cutting the time and development costs generally necessary in delivering similar functionality."
