The CrossCheck CDPD Mobile Unit
The CrossCheck CDPD Mobile Unit is housed in a single, compact
enclosure that simplifies installation and provides greater reliability.
This package is a mobile communications system module for
Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) and fleet asset management
applications. It operates over the CDPD cellular network and allows
simple, fast, and efficient transfer of information between a vehicle
and Trimble’s Web-based gateway.
The CrossCheck CDPD Mobile Unit integrates the following into a
single package:
• A CDPD cellular transceiver module
• A high-sensitivity, 8-channel GPS receiver
• The controller, featuring the proprietary firmware and
integrated datalogging functions
The product’s features and functions are not identical to other
products in the CrossCheck family, such as the CrossCheck AMPS
CrossCheck GSM, and CrossCheck XR.
Note – The CrossCheck CDPD does not support the IQEventEngine
firmware used by other CrossCheck products and does not support the
TAIP protocol.
