Radio modules join mail-order catalogue
Conrad Electronics, Europe's leading mail-order company for electronics and technology, is now offering radio products from smart wireless specialist Adcon Telemetry.
Other features include enhanced audio options including AM/FM/WB radio, CD/MP3 player, USB/iPod-based digital audio, and support for optional satellite radio.
The integrated navigation with speech output can help facilitate safe, legal, and efficient routing of restricted vehicles, provide more accurate arrival time estimates, and minimise costs due to lost or delayed vehicles.
The Navion T7000 replaces up to seven separate systems previously needed for the same feature list.
"We are pleased to have the Navion T7000 represented through the Pana Pacific distribution channel", said Frank Pellitta, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Lectronix.
"The Navion T7000 is the only comprehensive driver information system that has been optimised for this market that can be located completely in the dashboard, freeing up valuable cab space for the driver".
"We think Pana Pacific customers will see tremendous benefit in this product".
In addition to solutions for the commercial trucking market, Lectronix has also developed a driver information platform for the recreational vehicles market.
Each of these solutions is built on the Lectronix flagship product - the A-Frame software framework.
The AFrame technology uses an innovative client-server model, where core functionality is implemented in middleware "servers" that encapsulate and isolate the integrated technology.
This modular approach allows AFrame to easily integrate and support a range of vehicle systems ranging from information and communications to entertainment.
"We are pleased to be adding the Lectronix Navion T7000 to our list of in-cab electronics products", said John Trenberth, President of Pana-Pacific.
"Safety is an overwhelming concern, and the Navion T7000 helps consolidate information and monitoring systems into a single device that we think customers will appreciate".
