Building on the tradition of innovation that produced the multimode cellular/satellite Mobile Base Station (MBS) communications device, Wireless Matrix (TSX: WRX – News) today announced the release of its Communicator 1000 mobile hotspot, the company’s state-of-the-art integration of 3G cellular, GPS and wireless LAN technologies in a single vehicle-mounted platform.
Certified for both Verizon Wireless’ EvDO Rev-A and AT&T’s HSUPA networks, the Communicator 1000 combines cellular service with Super G 802.11b/g wireless LAN technology for fast, secure WLAN communications. A 50-channel super sensitive GPS receiver provides rapid, accurate vehicle position.

For communications extension in remote areas, the unit features a Satellite Sidecar™ port that enables seamless connectivity with Wireless Matrix satellite products such as the MBS-1000, MBS2 and SDM-5000.
The Communicator 1000’s design is field upgradable and expandable, with firmware that automatically updates itself remotely, field-accessible communications modules, a PCI Express Mini Card slot and internal expansion board, and eight external expansion connections. Its state-of-the-art design supports simultaneous full speed communications between 802.11G and 4G broadband technologies such as LTE and WiMAX.
“The Communicator 1000 is a powerful platform for fleet operators seeking the highest value from their vehicles and technicians,” said J.
