The Sierra Wireless MP 555 GPS modem provides a wireless
network connection for portable computers installed in
vehicles. The modem has a rugged design that allows it to
withstand the vibration, shock, humidity, and extremes of
temperature experienced in the normal operation of police,
emergency, utility, and field service vehicles.
The network connection provided by the MP 555 GPS can be
used to access shared data, browse the Internet, and send and
receive e-mail and text messages. The modem also allows for
sensors, gauges, and alarms (such as panic buttons) to be
deployed in vehicles and remotely monitored from a central
location or dispatch. A built-in GPS module provides location
and heading data that can also be remotely monitored.
