CalAmp Selects HARMANs’ Redbend for OTA Updates of Vehicle Tracker

Designing a Fleet Management system isn’t easy, but when partnering with experts like CalAmp, a proven leader in providing wireless communications solutions for complex Machine-to-Machine (M2M) deployments. With more than 5 million devices being managed on a daily basis, fleet managers can be confident in knowing their tracking system will be first class.

To extend the life of CalAmp’s fleet management tracking devices and to make sure the software running on these devices is always up–to-date, CalAmp has partnered with HARMAN Connected Services to leverage the sophistication of the Redbend Software Management portfolio. Specifically, CalAmp will be updating a product line of LMU vehicle tracking devices via over-the-air-updates based on Redbend Smart Delta technology which delivers the smallest update file saving CalAmp time and money.

Delta technology is a proven, safe, and cost-effective method for manufacturers to manage the car software evolution, and it’s much better than any compression method or other delta technologies such as open source solutions. Redbend’s Smart Delta technology provides the best results with up to 95 percent reduction in the file size, together with easy integration and without interfering with the development process.
