PLANO, Texas-- Aug. 22, 2006--Terion, the leading provider of trailer fleet management systems, has announced the launch of FleetView 3C -- a product extension designed specifically for managing domestic intermodal containers.

 
The company added self-sustaining solar charging capabilities to its existing technology, allowing the new FleetView device to operate on a container without an external power source.

FleetView 3 can be installed on dry vans, refrigerated trailers, flatbeds, and now on containers. And FleetView also supports reefer data monitoring, including temperature set point, fuel level, alarms, and fault codes.

"We are committed to expanding the FleetView product platform to address our customers' diverse needs," said Terion president and CEO Ken Cranston. "Now, they can see the same operational efficiency and payback on their containers that they've experienced using FleetView with other types of trailers."

About FleetView 3

FleetView 3 is a comprehensive trailer fleet management system that helps transportation companies maximize operating efficiencies. The product communicates real-time trailer location and event status when the trailer is tethered or untethered, and provides an accurate record of loaded or unloaded status by way of a patented Cargo Sensor. Typical benefits associated with FleetView include an increase in trailer utilization and a reduced trailer-to-tractor ratio.

The technology behind FleetView 3 combines a high-bandwidth digital wireless path with intelligent messaging and sensor capabilities. The design also incorporates GPS and digital CDMA cellular Technology for seamless coverage. Using patented Terion hardware and software, information is delivered to the user over the Internet and/or through integration with popular dispatch applications. A unique feature to FleetView 3 is that it also supports over-the-air software downloads for upgrades and enhancements -- which eliminates the time and expense associated with taking a trailer out of service. FleetView 3 can be installed on dry vans, flatbeds, domestic Intermodal containers and refrigerated trailers -- which can be monitored remotely.
