The highly integrated, robust, in-vehicle unit offers the ultimate in ultra-compact design along with high performance, stability, and rich expansion capabilities through a multitude of I/O connections. It also provides real-time, two-way data and voice communications. Its power-efficient Intel® Atom™ quad-core E3845 SoC, 1.91GHz processor provides extraordinary performance. The unit is designed specifically for fleet operations, whether it be car, truck or bus.
"Our ARTS-1450 delivers security, efficiency, communication, and energy control, making it perfect to satisfy the demands of even the toughest of fleet operations," stated Brian Yurkiw, Arbor Solution vice president.

This versatile unit is suitable for a wide variety of applications in government and commercial fleets. The product is well suited for installation in buses, on trains, and in a wide variety of truck fleets."
Expansion Capabilities
The Arbor Solution ARTS-1450 comes with extensive I/O supporting a wide variety of applications and peripherals. Standard I/O includes: two each RS232 and RS-232/485 serial ports with DB-9 connectors; one type-A USB 3.0 and two type-A USB 2.0 ports; one RJ-45 gigabit Ethernet LAN port; one DVI-D female connector and one DB15 VGA connector; five SMA female-connector holes for external antennas; extensive digital I/O (1 x 8 bit digital I/O, and audio (line-out and mic-in)). Optional CAN BUS 2.0B and 4-channel CCTV I/O offer even more functionality.
Externally-accessible SIM sockets connected to dual WWAN modules support seamless switching between different carriers and offer potential cost savings, improved effective coverage and more extensive bandwidth, which is particularly useful for long haul trucking. By connecting an optional standalone GPS module to the unit, navigation and tracking is supported. Two mini-PCIe sockets provide the HSUPA and LTE communications. The third mini-PCIe socket provides WiFi and Bluetooth communications.
Real-Time Communications
The ARTS-1450 can also be applied for vehicle safety control and surveillance. With the optional embedded CAN BUS 2.0B interface, data from the vehicle - such as temperature, fluid levels and tire pressure, engine speed - can be collected, and acted upon. Via 3G/4G, the unit can provide continuous real-time communication between drivers and a control or dispatch center. This allows managers to monitor vehicle status anytime and anywhere, especially important during emergencies. With four-channel CCTV, the device can also deliver surveillance capabilities, which are a critical factor for most fleet operators.
