Webtech Wireless Announces Android Support for Quadrant Manager

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 2, 2012) -Webtech Wireless Inc. (TSX:WEW), a leading provider of vehicle fleet location-based services (LBS) and telematics technology, today announces the immediate availability of Quadrant Manager 9.7 with support for Android smart phones and tablets.

The award-winning Quadrant Manager solution also includes the following new features to help customers maximize their fleet operations using Webtech Wireless location-based services:

  • Google traffic and weather data, available as map layers, uses color coding for traffic and icons, and includes extended forecasts for the weather information.
