Wireless Customer AP
Bridge Client
The AWK-4131 is ideal for outdoor wireless industrial applications where hard wiring is not feasible or cost-effective, or pre-existing mobile equipment connects to a TCP/IP network. Robust construction with weatherproof protective housing is IP68-rated, allowing for extending existing indoor wired networks to the outdoors. Redundant DC power inputs ensure reliability and can be powered via PoE for easy deployment. Compliant with essential EN 50155 sections covering operating temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD, and vibration. Product Sheet
Vehicle Location Tracking
Ward Track 330i reliably tracks vehicle location, and records detailed driver behaviors such as hard braking and aggressive acceleration. Measurable results help protect your bottom line using wireless communication with a 3-axis precision accelerometer, robust enough for AVL applications. Ward Track 330i monitors external conditions and the vehicle’s environment, supports customer-defined, exception-based rules, and responds instantaneously to predefined threshold conditions related to time, date, motion, location, geo-zone, input, and other event combinations. Highly sensitive GPS, with internal or external antenna enables Ward Track 330i to be mounted virtually anywhere. Product Sheet
Enterprise Location Messaging with Vehicle Interface
Ward Track LMU-4200 is designed to support enterprise customers needing a wide range of wireless connectivity, vehicle interfaces, peripheral interconnect and comes equipped with either light or heavy-duty vehicle interfaces. The Ward Track LMU’s expandability and flexibility are key to lowering the cost of delivering, supporting, and growing fleet management solutions with cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and satellite connectivity options, plus detects and acts on hard braking, aggressive acceleration, or vehicle impacts.
