JLT Mobile Computers and FARA collaborate in the field of rugged computers
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
JLT Mobile Computers, developer of rugged mobile computers for the most extreme
environments, has signed a partner agreement with the Norwegian company FARA, a
leading provider of e-ticket solutions for the public transportation sector.
For one and a half years, FARA has used a flexible vehicle computer from JLT,
tailored to be mounted in a bus. The partnership makes a closer collaboration
between JLT and FARA possible with respect to new, customized products.
FARA has chosen JLT's rugged, flexible vehicle computer JLT8404 for its
ticketing systems for buses. The computer was tailored to FARA's requirements
that it be easily mounted in a bus. Thus, the JLT8404 computer represents the
first concrete example within JLT's new product concept Flexible Fixed*, which
combines the strength of a rugged, fixed vehicle-mounted computer with the
flexibility of a handheld computer. The computer can be easily mounted and
removed, for example to be moved to another bus or if it needs to be updated.
"We have to have a rugged computer that is always functional in a bus
environment that has vibrations, humidity, and temperatures down to minus 30
degrees Celsius. The JLT computer is easy to install, has a large, easily read
display, and complies with our own and our customers' stringent requirements for
ruggedness," says Ørjan Knutzen, Supply Chain Manager at FARA.
Following FARA's use of the JLT products for one and a half years, the two
companies are now entering a partner agreement.
"Through the partnership, we will have the opportunity to deepen the
collaboration by developing specially customized accessories for FARA. Several
customized products for FARA's specific requirements are already being
developed," says Christian Funk, Product and Marketing Manager at JLT Mobile
Computers.
Today, JLT computers are used in FARA's complete ticketing system, which they
offer to bus companies. The system includes online services for traffic, bus,
and passenger information, and enables passengers to fill their smart cards with
pre-loaded tickets. FARA's customers are dependent upon reliable real time
systems that can manage large amounts of transactions and information, without
being affected by external factors.
FARA is a leading provider of IT solutions for the public transportation sector.
The company delivers electronic ticketing and real time information systems.
FARA has 80 employees in five locations and is represented via partners across
Europe. The headquarters are located in Trondheim, Norway.
* In August, 2011, jFlex, the first official product within the Flexible Fixed-
concept, was launched.
