FleetZone delivers unobtrusive wireless installation

When implementing a fleet and fuel management program, the cost and disruption associated with equipment installation and interconnection can be shockingly high. Indeed, installation often becomes the key consideration, overwhelming the cost of acquisition of the product itself. In some cases, the trenching and digging work required to lay down cables is deemed simply too disruptive to ongoing operations, and the project never gets off the ground regardless of budgetary issues.

FleetZone makes extensive use of wireless RF technology, interconnecting system components while eliminating disruptive, cost-prohibitive trenching and digging work. As an added bonus, wireless interconnection of equipments provides protective electrical isolation.

The primary goal of electrical isolation is to protect indoor equipment from outdoor electrical surges caused by lightning, electrical motors and other electrical machinery. This protection barrier is crucial because in most cases, the indoor controller/data collector is directly or indirectly physically linked to other mission critical resources such as computer networks or telecommunication equipment. In a typical cabled configuration, the indoor controller/data collector acts as an electrical bridge that potentially propagates damaging electrical surges onto other mission critical systems.
