Quake Global, a leading manufacturer of satellite modems for the
trucking and heavy equipment industries, announced today that Volvo
Trucks North America, Greensboro, NC, will install Quake Global's
Q2000+ satellite communicator as standard equipment in all Volvo
trucks manufactured with US'07 engines. The Q2000+ is an integral
component in "Volvo Link Sentry," Volvo's proprietary two-way
satellite communications system.
"We are delighted that Volvo Trucks North America has chosen to
integrate Quake's Q2000+ satellite modem into its state of the art
'Volvo Link Sentry' communications system," said Polina Braunstein,
President and CEO of Quake Global. "Volvo Trucks is widely known for
its insistence on maintaining the highest standards of quality and
demanding that its suppliers do the same. Providing the Q2000+ modem
for the Volvo Link Sentry is a major step for our growing company, and
by meeting Volvo's high quality standards, we have positioned Quake
Global for many more growth opportunities in satellite
communications."
Quake Global's Q2000+ and the Volvo Link Sentry have been standard
equipment since late-2005 on the Volvo VT 880 and VT 830 tractors,
with widespread customer acceptance. Volvo Link Sentry is a remote
vehicle and driver performance monitoring system that gives Volvo
customers 24/7 access to technical support, while providing fleet
managers with a wealth of information about truck operations.
