Quoted By ACDI\u2019s Executive Director of Business Development \u2013 Mark Hart<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once in a blue moon, a new piece of technology enters our industry and changes the way we do business. Next in the ring is the KPAX Liberty box by Bluemega. Gone are the days of sending out a technician to gather meter reads because the customer turned off the PC with the fleet management data collector installed. KPAX Liberty was explicitly designed to ease the burden for meter read collecting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other fleet management companies have taken the path of least resistance by installing standard data collectors on a raspberry pi minicomputer. Shortcuts sound efficient until you look into the security risks associated with minicomputers. Standard data collectors are vulnerable to many known cyber-attacks; it\u2019s like placing a ticking time bomb at the customer\u2019s location if not adequately managed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bluemega development team thrives on differentiation, so they created a \u201ccurious little one\u201d piece of hardware they call KPAX Liberty. This hardware piece doesn\u2019t have an operating system, doesn\u2019t require anti-virus software, and doesn\u2019t need to be monitored for updates. It\u2019s a hardware data collector the size of a Cassette tape that collects meter reads. Pretty simple, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So those French Alps and their famous Alpine Skiing can step aside and give way to a small village with a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility turning out KPAX liberty boxes by the thousands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
