Cybit signs exclusive partnership with Ford
Jun 11, 2008
Cybit has signed an exclusive partnership agreement with Ford Motor Co to provide a fully managed service branded "Ford Fleet Telematics" solution for Ford Fleet customers. 

The agreement provides a framework that formalises Cybit's relationship as Ford's appointed telematics partner.

The agreement gives Cybit exclusive telematics access to Ford's detailed and confidential CanBus coding information, enabling Cybit software to interface with the existing Ford CanBus systems on the current Ford Transit and Transit Connect models.

The GPS device located inside the vehicle provides real-time positioning information, which, when collated, is combined with CanBus data and transmitted via O2's GPRS network to Cybit's servers.

This data is processed into a broad spectrum of user defined strategic reports, providing real-time fleet visualisation or historical analysis, and then distributed via the Internet.
