Wireless Matrix has extended its relationship with an existing rail industry services customer. The new contract has been signed for the purchase of a minimum of 500 rail-specific low profile Mobile Base Station
2 (MBS2 LPR) units.
Over its two year term, this contract is expected to generate hardware and network communications revenue of approximately $1,200,000. Under the agreement, Wireless Matrix has received the first purchase order for 90 MBS2 LPR units.
Michael Jakab, vice president of Sales and Marketing for Wireless Matrix believes this agreement further validates their presence within the rail industry.
“Our increasing market share providing locomotive communications and operational monitoring illustrates the quality of our rail solution and the value it provides to our customers,” said Jakab in a statement to the
press .
The MBS2 LPR communications unit is used by the rail industry for locomotive communications and health monitoring. The unit integrates cellular, satellite, WiFi
and GPS communications in a ruggedized housing designed to withstand the environmental hazards during rail operations.
Wireless Matrix made headlines earlier this month with the signing of a two-year agreement with Trinity Valley Electric Cooperative for Mobile Resource Management services and hardware for implementation in the company’s service fleet.
Trinity Valley will implement a fleet-wide deployment of Wireless Matrix Terrestrial MBS2 communication units, accompanying airtime, and FleetOutlook vehicle monitoring services.
