TMW Systems, one of the largest providers of enterprise management software designed specifically for the trucking industry, recently announced the release of its newest mobile communication product offering - OnRoute.

Available starting on April 2, 2007, OnRoute is the first application to launch on the QUALCOMM Mobility Services for Transportation platform running on Sprint's Nextel Network, delivering a cost-effective, easy-to-deploy driver communications solution designed for the needs of the trucking industry.

Based on TMW's proven D2Link mobile communications solution, OnRoute combines the innovative dispatch-centered functionality of D2Link with QUALCOMM's superior data security and message management capabilities. Available by subscription on a range of Nextel handsets and combined with Sprint data and voice services in monthly billing, OnRoute is the freight industry's most flexible, integrated and cost-effective mobile phone-based communications solution.

OnRoute transforms GPS-enabled wireless phones running Java into convenient driver communications devices for affordable and efficient trip communications, vehicle location tracking and load assignments integrated with company operations.

OnRoute can complement existing advanced mobile communication systems to cover unequipped fleet segments such as local delivery fleets, owner-operators and seasonal/temporary drivers.

TMW offers a standard integration to OnRoute with TMW's enterprise management system software including TMWSuite for Windows, TruckMate for Windows, and TL2000.

Additional benefits include: support for multiple affordable and rugged wireless phones that include voice, data and Nextel Walkie-Talkie service; integrated GPS position data from supported handsets, for automatic, frequent and accurate location updates back to dispatch operations; supported by the QUALCOMM Mobility Services platform for convenient application and device provisioning, as well as enhanced data service reliability; all-in-one convenient monthly billing from Sprint.
