Case Study: Antennas to go — Ayantra selects Taoglas’ PA.25 and GP.25a

AyantraHeadquartered in Fremont, California, Ayantra provides wireless solutions for industrial asset management. The company designs and manufactures remote fleet vehicle monitoring and telemetry solutions to an international market from its in-house base. A key product in Ayantra’s portfolio is FleetSight, an M2M solution tailored to managing small fleets of vehicles including cars, trucks and vans. FleetSight enables fleet managers to track equipment, collect usage information and centrally manage all assets from a single website. It detects conditions such as harsh or rough driving, usage patterns and if vehicles are being used outside normal business hours.

“Ayantra’s goal is to make fleet management affordable both in terms of price and usage. We want people to get the maximum benefit from our products,” said Teckchandani. “Our products need to be easy to install and use – that’s the key. Simple installation, easy to use, get on the web and you are done. That’s the core of what makes FleetSight successful. My experience with Taoglas and their antenna offerings, the PA25 for cellular and GP.25a for GPS were similar. Installation was quick and easy. The product was ready and used in the field almost immediately.”

“The antenna is a vital link in this communication chain and the most common point of failure in small wireless devices. High transmission, sensitivity and reception are important to maintain the integrity of Ayantra’s service to their customers. We provide solutions that keep products tracking in areas where cell phone coverage is week. In fact, we have seen these products retain reception in areas where there is no cell phone coverage. I would encourage all customers to engage with us so we can help them select the right antenna for their application. That is what Ayantra did and we look forward to working with them again in the future.”
