The Sierra Wireless MP modem provides a wireless network
connection for portable computers installed in vehicles.
The MP modem is usually installed in the vehicle’s trunk and
connected to a notebook computer in the passenger
compartment. A radio frequency (RF) antenna mounted on the
roof of the vehicle enables the MP modem to communicate
through a wireless network to a host computer.
A built-in Global Positioning System (GPS) module provides
location and heading data that can also be remotely monitored.
