CalAmp Corp. (News - Alert), a provider of wireless communication solutions, has announced the addition of four new products to expand its portfolio for Mobile Resource Management, or “MRM,” applications.

The company said that the new products, LMU-4200, LMU-2600, LMU-700 and RMU-900, are designed to support CalAmp customers with next generation solutions for local fleet management, vehicle finance, stolen vehicle recovery and remote start applications.

CalAmp’s new Location Messaging Units, or “LMU,” and Remote Messaging Units, or “RMUs,” products provide GPS and cellular-based wireless asset tracking capabilities for 12-volt and 24-volt vehicles.

Company officials said that each product employs CalAmp’s Programmable Event Generator and Programming, Update and Logistics System, which were first introduced in the late 1990s and, since then, have evolved into on-board alert engine and over-the-air device management and maintenance application, respectively. Also, the new products feature an integrated wireless antenna.

Company officials said that LMU-4200 and LMU-2600 are the next generation products for the fleet management market segment. And, both the LMU-4200 and LMU-2600 have a built-in 3D accelerometer for detection of hard braking, hard acceleration and collision events.

The new LMU-4200 flagship product includes a comprehensive I/O system, expandable accessory options, and full set of features, while the new LMU-2600 includes fleet management features. Company officials said that its GPS receiver and internal antenna design enable the device to be quickly mounted virtually anywhere on the vehicle to reduce installation costs.

The LMU-700 and RMU-900 are new products using GSM/GPRS cellular technology for the vehicle finance collateral tracking and stolen vehicle recovery market segments. Company officials said that these products set a new standard in customer value. The LMU-700 features covert installation and three I/O ports, while the RMU-900 has 3D motion sensors and four I/O ports.

“Our new products significantly enhance CalAmp’s MRM product portfolio,” said Greg Gower, vice president and general manager of MRM business at CalAmp, adding that the company’s products continue to set the industry standard in performance and value for a wide range of solutions in MRM applications.
