Prophesy Expands Truck Tracking Hardware Offerings to Include Sprint® PRO-700 Phones

Trucking Software Provider Also Adds Cellular Networks, Account Services

(Bloomfield, CT  -- September 17, 2008)      Prophesy Transportation Solutions, Inc. has again expanded its mobile communications solutions (known in the industry as Prophesy Mobile Comm), adding several new data and voice networks, GPS devices, account services, and more. The latest addition to the company's device lineup is the new Sprint/Sanyo® PRO-700 model handset, which will give users the best of both worlds in push-to-talk functionality and broad service coverage.

All Prophesy TrackerSeries desktop and web-based applications are now compatible with the PRO-700. This model was chosen for its rugged design (meets Military Specification 810F; certified for dust, shock, and vibration), GPS capability, and field reliability. The phone also features a sleek clamshell design, speakerphone capabilities, and several other convenient and useful features. Other handset models will be added as they become available.

The major advantage of the PRO-700 is that it is capable of using Nextel's acclaimed push-to-talk feature while operating on the Sprint CDMA voice network. This will especially appeal to users who wish to continue enjoying the convenience of push-to-talk, but also require the wider national coverage of the Sprint network. The integration of these technologies is seamless and automatic, allowing full use of Prophesy Mobile Comm features with no extra input required by the user.

Other recent and upcoming additions to Prophesy Mobile Comm solutions include:

  • Integration with Prophesy FuelLogic allows you to send the best truck stop fuel prices along each route directly to the driver's mobile device
  • New product features including Auto-completion of stops and loads (Geo-fencing), Automated Fuel Tax Reporting, and more
  • Mapping technology provided by industry leader ESRI®, including new support for Canada and Mexico (coming soon)
  • Several available networks to ensure the best coverage possible - Sprint, Nextel, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Alltel (read more in this recent Prophesy press release)
  • A wide array of compatible GPS devices - Sprint and Nextel phones, BlackBerry, hard-mount GPS device, Mobile Data Terminal with GPS, and GlobalWave device
  • Trailer tracking via the TransCore GlobalWave satellite trailer tracking system (read more in this recent Prophesy press release)
  • New account services made possible by a recent partnership with Nationlink Wireless (read more in this recent Prophesy press release)

As always, Prophesy Mobile Comm solutions offer the following major features:

  • Real-Time GPS Tracking
  • Send load information to and from drivers
  • Track Unplanned Stops
