Hub will be using the Discrete Wireless Marcus(R) GPS system to monitor its daily rental fleet and will be offering the Marcus solution to its long term lease customers.

"Their long-time expertise in this industry will help Discrete Wireless build better products specifically for the leasing segment." "Discrete Wireless came to the table with a solid track record in AVL, good financials and a reliable end-to-end system that provides the best overall functionality with a value proposition that will be attractive to many of our long-term lease customers," said Ken Tirone, Vice President of Operations at Hub Trucking. A critical requirement for Hub was reliability. For that reason, Hub and Discrete Wireless chose Velocita Wireless as the wireless carrier for this solution. "Velocita's Mobitex-based network is a performance-proven, data-only network with high degrees of reliability and availability," said Charles Nelson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Velocita Wireless.
