SAN DIEGO, June 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM - News), the leading provider of wireless data solutions, today announced the commercial launch of versions 6.2 and 6.2.3 of its industry-leading FleetAdvisor fleet management solution for the private fleet market. Both systems provide customers with a near real-time connection between their back office -- including management, dispatchers and customer service representatives -- and their vehicles and drivers, with version 6.2.3 designed with features necessary for larger customer fleet operations. FleetAdvisor 6.2 and 6.2.3 support full-function, on-board computing and applications, including automated Department of Transportation-compliant logs; automated arrival and departure alerts; and automated state mileage and GIS mapping. FleetAdvisor and other on-board applications run on the MVPc® in-vehicle computer, which uses the Windows® CE platform. FleetAdvisor also works with other QUALCOMM systems, including the OmniTRACS® and OmniExpress® mobile communications systems.
"FleetAdvisor 6.2 and 6.2.3 support QUALCOMM's efforts to provide enterprise-wide benefits to companies with private fleets," said Joan Waltman, president of QUALCOMM Wireless Business Solutions. "Both solutions are designed to help our customers -- whether operating large or small fleets -- extend supply-chain management, automate regulatory compliance, reduce the operational costs of their fleets, and significantly increase revenue and productivity."


FleetAdvisor 6.2 provides customers with:
* Support for 802.11b WLAN communications
* The ability to export FleetAdvisor report data for use by other
applications such as Excel
* Primary client applications can now be converted from client-server to
browser-based applications using Internet Explorer
* A new host application that allows customers to quickly find the
status of deliveries in response to customer inquiries
* MVPc message light activated upon receipt of a FleetAdvisor message
* Support for "batch" mode communications using the OmniExpress system
(upload/download data to/from the mobile at start and end of day)
* Filtering logic has been added that minimizes false TrailerTRACS
connects/disconnects displayed to the driver
* GUI improvements to the TrackingAdvisor mapping application
* Enhanced mobile software to support the grocery and liquid gas
markets, allowing drivers to service multiple, adjacent stops without
moving the vehicle
* Enhanced APIs that allow external third-party applications to
accomplish route pre-assignment(s) for a driver
* Enhanced debugging tools used by customers and support personnel for
diagnosing system problems
* Support for the French language added to support customer vehicles
that operate in Canada

* Support for the Windows 2003 Server operating system
* Support for running in a server cluster using Microsoft Cluster
Service (MSCS) within the Windows 2003 Server environment
