Communications and tracking systems

Boyle Transportation has been a pioneer in the application of satellite-based mobile data communications to transportation operations beginning in 1985. We understand the limitations of current communications and tracking systems and we continue to augment our systems to provide real security enhancements in order to better protect our professional drivers and customer shipments. Commercially available communications and GPS tracking systems do not provide adequate security by themselves. These systems are designed simply to provide text messaging and position reporting; they have many security weaknesses and are easily and quickly defeated. We take the best of these systems and add the following: a means for emergency notification inside and outside of the vehicle; proprietary security enhancements; a system to check scheduling context in precise detail and monitor for out-of-route conditions; and, vetted personnel to operate the vehicle and provide continuous surveillance of shipments. Without these enhancements and a comprehensive approach to providing security, communications and tracking systems provide nothing but a false sense of security.
