AMSTERDAM, Netherlands-Qualcomm Inc.’s Wireless Business Solutions operation announced plans to provide wireless communications-based fleet management solutions to the European freight transport industry and other transportation-based industries through the newly created eQ-COM.
In November 1999, Qualcomm acquired the assets of Simac Mobile Solutions, including the company’s work force, certain intellectual properties, and fleet management hardware and software products designed for vehicle applications and mobile workers.
The new subsidiary will debut its products and services at the European Road Transport Show in Amsterdam and expects to launch commercial operations in the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Germany and Italy this spring.
