SETTING THE STANDARD
With over a decade of maturity, the AirLink PinPoint is the standard by which other Mobile Data solutions are judged. Powered by the AirLink Embedded Operating System (ALEOS), the PinPoint EDGE is a powerful mobile communications platform.

POWER AND PRODUCTIVITY
By blending always-on EDGE high-speed data with an integrated GPS receiver, the PinPoint provides scaleable mobile data solutions for the enterprise. As a standalone in-vehicle device, it enables AVL, fleet management and dispatch applications. Its serial and digital interfaces enable other applications to communicate over EDGE networks. Examples include public safety, field force automation, credit-card processing, and advanced telematics.

High-Speed, Quad Band EDGE Data Connections
• Rugged device for EDGE mobile data connections
• High-speed connectivity for any PC or handheld
• Integrated TCP/IP stack with support for PPP, NAT
• Serial interface for rugged Mobile Data Terminals
• Physical connectivity options include Serial or Ethernet

Dynamic and Static IP Addressing and DNS
• Support for Dynamic and Static address services
• Dynamic DNS support allows for device management by user-provided domain
• Distinctive embedded Device ID in GPS messages reduces need for static addressing

GPS/Location Based Services
• Integrated high-quality satellite GPS receiver
• Support for NMEA (GGA, RMC, VTG), TAIP, and AirLink Binary protocols
• Support for enhanced information such as speed, odometer, network status
• Provides data over wireless network, PPP connection, or as raw serial data stream
• Send GPS data based on time, distance, digital input, or combinations of events

Enhanced GPS and Embedded Mobile Applications
• Embedded OS provides GPS data over-the-air without need for PC or handheld
• Store-and-Forward prevents loss of GPS data when out of wireless coverage
• Voltage sensing technology and low-power shutdown prevent battery drain
