inca Why it’s the right choice...

• Inca is APD’s fifth tracking device, not a first entry into the market. There really is nothing to match it.

• APD and Orange have proven track records working with large, demanding organisations.

• Huge number of installed INCAs around the World, growing every day.

• Software is designed and supported ‘in-house’ by a team of talented engineers

• Captures much more detail than a basic ‘grab and send’ tracking device

• 4 inputs as standard on INCA (12 optional) for detailed vehicle monitoring

• CoOrdinator is networkable, allowing a wide usage of the system

• 3rd party interface allowing GPS data to be passed to other software applications

• Open communications interface for present and future wireless technology

• Volume production has brought the cost of this functionality down to reasonable levels. Now all types of organisation can reap the real benefits of INCA AVL
