Helping the customers to install the vehicle tracking systems quickly and easily, Networkfleet has announced the availability of simple one plug installation for its Networkfleet 4200 low cost GPS vehicle tracking system. Making the installation simple, the Networkfleet 4200 plugs directly into the OBD-II diagnostic port, claims Networkfleet.

For its vehicle tracking systems, Networkfleet merges GPS technology with affordable wireless coverage. Networkfleet's data is transmitted over the AT&T (News - Alert) Wireless network which enables Networkfleet to deliver a truly nationwide service. This network is more secure than Wi-Fi, utilizing SIM cards and encryption features to keep data transmissions safe.

Some fleets need reliable location tracking, but do not require full engine diagnostics. For such fleets, Networkfleet 4200 is the ideal solution. The Networkfleet 4200 device can be installed in light, medium and heavy vehicles, and is compatible with both 12V and 24V vehicles. The 4200 device can receive power directly from the OBD-II port using a light duty harness cable and an adapter for specific vehicle types, both supplied by Networkfleet.

“In keeping with Networkfleet's goal to provide a low cost, simple to use wireless fleet management system, we are happy to offer this one-plug solution," said Keith Schneider, president and CEO of Networkfleet. "This gives fleet managers the ability to quickly implement GPS tracking so that they can start experiencing the benefits of improved fleet utilization,” noted Keith Schneider.

Now, Networkfleet's full service and support is combined with the Networkfleet 4200, which gives fleets a vehicle tracking system that includes a rugged, automotive-grade device. The 4200 allows the vehicles to withstand harsh environments as it is tamper evident and hermetically sealed.

Recently, the company announced the availability of new fleet utilization reports for users of its wireless fleet management system. The new reports provide detailed information on each vehicle's usage, including miles traveled, engine hours, days utilized, number of trips, and more, for specific periods of time. This allows fleet managers to analyze both under and over utilization of vehicles to maximize fleet productivity.
