Geotab Announces New Add-On Extender
All-New Add-On Allows Third Parties to Build Integrations between MyGeotab and Their In-Vehicle Devices
TORONTO & BARCELONA, Spain, March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Geotab, an industry leading telematics engineering company, today announced that it has released its IOX-CAN extender, a plug-and-play solution that allows partners to send data from their device over a private CAN network in the vehicle supporting integrations on all vehicle types.
A number of companies are already leveraging the IOX-CAN extender to send data from their devices to the MyGeotab system. Geotab's integration with Mobileye, a technology company that develops vision-based Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) providing warnings for collision prevention and mitigation, has been upgraded with the IOX-CAN extender allowing full support for all vehicle types, including OBDII vehicles. Geotab's new add-on solution allows Mobileye devices to plug into Geotab's GO6 and GO7 devices, thereby allowing Mobileye data to be sent to the MyGeotab software platform, where it can be viewed and analyzed by dispatchers and fleet managers.
Elad Serfaty, VP and General Manager Mobileye Aftermarket, said, "Our solutions are designed to make the roads safer for everyone as the issue of distracted driving continues to be a problem. Working with Geotab allows us to not only provide feedback to the driver, and with managers who can effect change where needed, but we can do this across all vehicle types."
"Expanding our integration capabilities and continuing our work with Mobileye is a natural evolution as more and more companies realize the benefits of fleet management," said Neil Cawse, CEO, Geotab. "Providing collision warnings to drivers just before a crash is the first step to creating a safer driving environment for everyone."
The IOX-CAN is commercially available immediately through an Authorized Geotab Reseller. For more information, please visit www.geotab.com.
