Orbital Expands Transit Management Via Harris' FleetLynx
Dulles - October, 11, 1999 - Orbital Sciences has completed the purchase of Harris Corporation�s FleetLynx transit management systems product line. The FleetLynx purchase complements Orbital�s existing satellite-based transit system capabilities, providing a complete suite of products for transit operations of all sizes. The FleetLynx products will be offered through Orbital�s Transportation Management Systems (TMS) Division, the world�s leading supplier of automatic vehicle location (AVL) and computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems for the transit industry with more than 30 transit properties deployed or under construction. Orbital�s TMS transit products use satellite-based location technologies and terrestrial communications systems to enable local and regional transportation authorities to better manage mass transit bus and rail systems. At a moment�s notice, a dispatcher can pinpoint the location of a specific vehicle and respond to an emergency situation, send a repair crew or notify passengers of a delay. Orbital�s TMS products are currently in use in many of the country�s largest metropolitan areas, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Houston and Denver, and are now poised to serve small- to medium-sized markets with the addition of the FleetLynx product. "The FleetLynx product line provides a proven, full-featured and cost-effective Windows NT-based fleet management solution for small- to mid-sized transit authorities," said Mr. David L. Mathisen, Vice President and General Manager of Orbital�s TMS Division. "In addition, we plan to incorporate various FleetLynx technologies into some of our existing systems."
