MONTVALE, N.J.-The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority awarded Geotek Communications Inc. a $2 million contract for a mobile data communications system to be used by a fleet of 400 vans and sedans that transport disabled and senior citizens.
The Geotek system will equip SEPTA with real-time, two-way data communications, in-vehicle magnetic card swipe and odometer reading capabilities. SEPTA provides rides on an advance reservation, shared ride, door-to-door basis, said Geotek.
