>>CRYSTAL MONTVID: The concept of the connected vehicle really was born under the necessity
for public safety workers to have information onsite as they were out in the field doing
work and answering calls.
And it really first started many decades ago with radio in the vehicles.
As technology evolved they needed full-functioning computers in their vehicles.
The amount of data increased, speeds needed to increase and applications were more robust
and rich.
That added the necessity to start using cellular technologies.
And cellular technologies really expanded the capabilities that we have with the connected
vehicle.
And we have so many more pieces over the last even ten years that we've been able to install
into vehicles that really enrich the experience for whoever that field worker is.

>>KANTNER: With this new system we're able to generate our own calls now: we don't have
to go through dispatch every time so we can do the rapid call we can do anything on it
and you can create your own traffic stops on this.
But typically for our own safety we do call every on the radio still.
I'll give you an example.
I'll call out that I'm at a department service.
"6560."
"6560, your traffic."
"Yeah, if you could please put me out a department service at CDW."
"10-4."
All right, so now my dispatcher will send me the call on this screen it even speaks
to me it says, "Dispatch received."
Now everything that I said on the radio for a department service is now on this screen.
And then I can clear the call any time I want: we don't have to go through dispatch every
time; we can go on our own laptops and we can create our own calls.
This makes everything a lot faster.

>>DAVID KOBY: This is essentially an enterprise grade router crammed into a ruggedized housing
to protect the components inside and provide that connectivity in the vehicle.
A lot of times when you do in-vehicle connectivity you're dealing with a steel and glass box
you can get a lot of signal reflection so this is an external antenna one of many that's
available.
It optimizes the LTE signal coming in to the router to provide a better experience to the
user inside the vehicle.
This particular one also provides Wi-Fi outside the vehicle as well.
So in the cases of food trucks or even if you're going to set up a temporary command
center for a police department they might want the Wi-Fi to be more pervasive outside
the vehicle than in for people who are out in the field and this is going to provide
that.
With the Cradlepoint iBR 900 you'll notice there is a door and some LED lights and some
brass terminals on the other side as well as some standard Ethernet ports.
These are our two standard Wi-Fi antenna leads.
You have a wireless WAN connection this is the connection to your ISP and then a LAN
connection if you're going to hardwire a laptop or something of that nature straight into
the device.
We also have an interface here, it's covered for integration and tying into the OBD-II
port of a vehicle to be able to take information for vehicle diagnostics and patch it through.
On the other side we have three terminals: two are for the LTE itself from one of the
LTE cellular carriers and the other one is a GPS.
So this device is spitting out real-time GPS data that can be made heads or tails of with
a third-party ADL solution.
>>MIKE VERBECK: From a fleet or field management standpoint we're able to really get a good
understanding of what's happening inside that vehicle.
So the ability to understand performance data or understand specifically what's going on
from a worker's standpoint inside that vehicle let's say driver safety or driver awareness
and that behavioral aspect of it it really allows us to get there in that cab with that
driver.
Businesses can take that information and use it to do different things; specifically, think
about route optimization getting to resources, getting to your customers faster how do you
specifically do that?
This data allows them to be able to make those route changes rapidly.
And then the predictive maintenance or proactive approach to maintenance is really huge for
these vehicles.
Keeping them running optimal, keeping them out in the field so they're not in the garages
allows those fleets to optimize.
>>CRYSTAL MONTVID: CDW is going to bring together a team of solution experts to work on your
IoT pieces, to work on your cellular connectivity, your services that might be needed, mobile
application development everything you need to pull together a connected vehicle solution
specific to your industry and your needs.
And from there we'll make sure that you have just-in-time delivery, carrier activation,
backend integrations and make sure that everything is onsite for your installation.
>>MIKE VERBECK: I think where CDW stands head and shoulders above the rest is that we're
able to come in and really understand from a business requirement standpoint what you're
really trying to accomplish and help you match the technologies with the actual requirements
and deliver that technology.
