LOGIC INSTRUMENT signs new contract with Thales

June 29, 2012 - PRLog -- LOGIC INSTRUMENT, one of the world's leading manufacturer of rugged mobile computer, supports Thales Communications & Security in the implementation of the Eco-tax project, part of the ambitious French environmental program "Grenelle de l'environement". LOGIC INSTRUMENT provides for the mobile control of the truck mileage the TETRApad H1 to the French logistics company.

To calculate the exact amount of the environmental tax, based on the mileage, the vehicles have to be equipped with an embedded box. Thales Communications & Security is responsible for this automatic control system and has chosen LOGIC INSTRUMENT’s TETRApads for reading and processing the information, that are received out of the vehicles embedded boxes through a secured wireless connection.  

The contract between Thales and LOGIC INSTRUMENT has a total of almost one million euros. It includes the delivery of TETRApad H1 in the second half of 2012, the maintenance and a warranty of seven years.
