LANTRONIX FOX3 SERIES TELEMATICS GATEWAYS AND QUANTUM’S FLEET MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE EMPOWER AIRPORT GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT

Success Highlights

  • Fleet management transparency and digitization
  • Analytics for improved efficiency and cost reduction
  • Remote management via Web or Desktop
  • Advanced encryption including AES, SSL/TLS

Case Study Overview

By incorporating the Lantronix FOX3 series telematics gateways, Quantum Aviation Solutions of Frankfurt, Germany, can gather real-time data for its fleet management software, which is installed at airports around the world. With the FOX3 gateway, critical signals are collected and transferred to the Quantum software solution that provides immediate visibility as well as historic analysis that supports increased efficiency and reduced cost.

CHALLENGE: Gain Reliable Data in Mission-Critical Airport Settings

Because airports are mission-critical settings, there are many requirements for technical equipment. Challenges included:

  • Meeting the airport’s stringent data transmission and security requirements
  • Gaining access to reliable data from the Quantum Aviation vehicles at the airport
  • Integrating with Quantum’s software to ensure efficient fleet management

SOLUTION: Lantronix FOX3-4G Series Telematic Gateway

Quantum chose Lantronix’s FOX3 series telematics gateways for its airport vehicles primarily because of its nearly unlimited programmability possibilities as well as its interfaces for peripherical products, such as external antennas, sensors (BLE, humidity, Temperature, etc.) and NFC Readers.

The FOX3 telematic gateways are easily integrated into the dashboards of the vehicles delivering a hidden integration solution that was unlikely to be tampered with, vandalized or even noticed.

Lantronix’s exceptional technical support gave Quantum Aviation the peace of mind that it would be able to integrate the FOX3 gateways and maximize their value.

“Utilizing Lantronix’s FOX3 Telematic Gateway, we are able to feed reliable, real-time data to our cloud-based software solution, which gives our aviation customers critically important information for real-time visibility and actions as well as long-term analytics with guaranteed benefits.” – Ursula Hess, CEO Quantum Aviation

How it Works

The FOX3 series telematics solution captures vehicle data, including stops, latitude, longitude, KM/miles, fuel consumption, temperature and customized data.

Captured data is sent to the Quantum cloud-based software where it feeds a rules-based engine that provides intelligent analytics to the software users, including airport ramp managers, maintenance personnel, security staff and executive decision makers.
