Trusted Mobile Computing

The Mobile Data Computer (MDC) is a vehicle-mounted device that facilitates messaging, electronic dispatching, vehicle monitoring, and GPS-based vehicle tracking. By incorporating a range of optional features such as an internal magnetic stripe reader and integrated taximeter, the MDC is a cost-effective, all-in-one solution.

    Why Choose the MDC?

    Electronic Dispatching System

    Job manifests are automatically delivered right to the vehicle, reducing paperwork and manual data entry. Job updates can be sent anytime, enabling on-the-fly schedule changes that improve response times.

    Automatic Vehicle Location

    An optional GPS receiver enables real-time vehicle tracking for a more accurate picture of drivers' whereabouts and improves mobile fleet management.

    Two-way Messaging

    Two-way data messaging improves communication between drivers and dispatchers, and gives added security to those onboard.

    Point-of-Sale Transactions

    The built-in automatic credit card authorization capability reduces the amount of cash in the vehicle, and provides customers with convenient payment options.

    Vehicle Telematics

    The MDC collects time-stamped vehicle information, such as vehicle speed, distance traveled, ignition on/off, PTO status updates, and more. This can be used to reveal poor driving habits for reduced gas usage.

    Integrated Taximeter

    MDC's optional taximeter offers taxi companies cost, time, and space savings. It is more tamper-resistant than standalone taximeters, improving the accuracy of revenue reporting and decreasing driver fraud.

    Network Choice

    MDC connects to every major public data (cellular) network in North America, as well as private radio and specialized trunking networks, so you can select the best network coverage for your needs.

    Rugged Design

    Built specifically to work in the harsh in-vehicle environment, the MDC is durable and highly resistant to power, temperature and humidity fluctuations.

     The MDC is a solid device and has performed virtually without failure in our fleet. My added pleasure was the responsiveness and professionalism of your staff. The project management of our taxi fleet install and later of the paratransit install was the best I've ever experienced. Mentor was far and away the shining star of the many players in this transition.
