CEC has been issuing awards to equipment providers since 2004. The Chinese language magazine and website publishes business to business, technology, and manufacturing information, and has been annually issuing a Best Product award and an Editor's Choice award. This year, Advantech-DLoG's TREK-743 was selected as Best Product. Key factors in the decision were TREK's fanless, compact design, built to meet a variety of vehicle applications, its wireless capabilities, its programmable function keys, a rugged industrial design with an aluminum chassis, and its ability to share data in real-time with back-end services.

WWAN Support that Knows No Boundaries

TREK-743 is built with advanced WWAN support. It supports multi-band, 3.5G Sierra RF, GPRS communications, and can be equipped with modules to support CDMA and HSDPA. This support allows TREK to provide real-time voice and data availability to vehicle fleets, with fast wireless communications across a variety of network topologies. With TREK-743, fleet managers and central dispatchers can stay in contact with drivers and their vehicles no matter where they are located.

Industrial-grade Design: Water and Dust Resistant

TREK-743 is built to withstand harsh vehicle environments which can be wet and dirty, subject to transient power conditions and temperature extremes. TREK-743 operates effectively in temperatures ranging from -20 °C to 60 °C, and it has an IP65 rating, making it well-suited to fit a variety of in-vehicle markets such as long haul trucking, taxis and buses, emergency vehicles, or mining and harbor management; environments in which dust and water resistance are mandatory for reliable computer operations. TREK-743 also meets power rating standards set by ISO and SAE specifications, with features such as power on/off delay and ignition control built in to the design. And most recently, TREK-743 supports a Linux-based solution, creating an alternative to Windows®, and offering more flexibility to system integrators.
