WebTech Wireless Inc. (TSX: WEW), a leading provider of location-based and fleet telematics services, introduces the MDT2000CE-X mobile data terminal to its proven MDT2000 Series. The new model boasts enhanced features and functionality aimed at the transport fleet market, where fleet managers and drivers require innovative technology to increase productivity as well as comply with regulatory Hours of Service (HOS) reporting of driver activity. Key differentiators of MDT2000CE-X include:

The new MDT2000CE-X platform gives fleet managers the ability to run increasingly complex applications, many of which are necessary to comply with HOS regulations. These applications benefit fleet managers, dispatchers and drivers by:
- automating driver logs and forms preparation,
- providing two-way messaging with drivers,
