King Communications has over 15 years experience in all phases of Radio system design, installation and support. In the late 1980's, when the demand for Mobile Data and AVL capabilities exploded, King began the development of its KDT-5000 system. At the time there were virtually no companies capable of designing and taking complete responsibility for the integrated Radio/MDT/AVL system operation. The KDT-5000 system allowed King Communications to combine multiple Radio frequencies/formats, with a totally programmable MDT/AVL component, to meet the varied operational requirements of customers around the world.
King's proprietary mobile data terminal, the KDT5000 (predecessor to the ADM840) is rich in features which are most relevant to customers and dealers. These features include compatibility with existing two-way radio systems, the ability to mix voice and data transmissions on the same channels, and low capital and operating costs.
The KDT5000 can be easily integrated with most software packages used by the trucking, distribution, courier, emergency service, taxi cab, public safety and utility industries. King has developed its own host software ("WinHost") which can manage radio transmissions for small to large sized fleets and optional application software packages for Automatic Vehicle Location ("TracKING").
Since the introduction of the KDT-5000, King Communications has worked with leading communications companies such as Motorola, NOKIA, Telstra, and SmartLink in providing seamles local and wide area Communications/MDT/AVL systems. We have over 10,000 KDT terminals installed in systems throughout the USA, the Far East, Canada, South America, and the Middle East.
In addition, as part of its mission to provide radio solutions, King sells and installs complete radio systems including base stations and ancillary equipment. These systems currently comprise a relatively small part of King's overall sales, but demonstrate King's strong technical abilities which underpin its overall market presence and its focus on fully supporting its expanding base.
