Networkfleet Receives Honor

San Diego-based Networkfleet, a provider of wireless fleet management services, has announced that it has won the 2008 AeA High Tech Award in the category of communications products and services from the San Diego Council of the AeA, the nation’s largest high tech trade association.

Networkfleet was selected for its 3500 product line, a wireless fleet management system that remotely monitors the performance and location of fleet vehicles. The system reads real-time diagnostics from the vehicle’s engine, giving fleet managers the ability to continuously monitor fuel consumption, speed and emissions status for all of their vehicles.

“This award reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire team," Keith Schneider, president of Networkfleet, says. “Our continuing innovation stems from our resourceful team’s ability to exceed expectations while responding to customer and market needs in this dynamic environment.”

This year marked the 15th anniversary of the San Diego High Tech Awards. More than 500 technology executives and government officials, including AeA members and non-members, came together to recognize the successes of local technology companies from a diverse set of categories. 

Networkfleet’s technology combines patented remote diagnostic monitoring with GPS-based automatic vehicle location (AVL) systems. With more than 50 patents issued or pending, the company received a 2006 American Business Award for Most Innovative Company and a 2006 Frost & Sullivan Technology Innovation Award for Wireless Emissions Monitoring. Founded in 1999, Networkfleet, formerly known as Networkcar, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hughes Telematics Inc.
