Thorcom and WYMAS Announce Ambulance AVL Project
Thorcom Systems Limited is pleased to announce that it has been successful in its bid to provide an automatic vehicle location (AVL) system to the Patient Transport Service of West Yorkshire Metropolitan Ambulance Service NHS Trust (WYMAS). When the equipment is installed, it will help significantly increase the utilisation of the WYMAS PTS fleet.

The solution utilises the Thorcom MCU500e, and the Thorcom TraksysCS mapping application, with Thorcom specially developing a management report tool as part of the host suite. The solution utilises a Vodafone GPRS bearer, and is fully migrateable to the new O2 Airwave TETRA service in the future, if required.

Simon Clifton, Sales Director at Thorcom, said ‘Thorcom is delighted to secure the contract to supply an AVL system to the WYMAS PTS fleet, we look forward to working with WYMAS to improve their operating efficiencies in the next few months’.
