CalmAmp - MDT-7
The CalmAmp MDT-7 is a versatile GPS terminal built on an open Android operating environment. It combines a small, rugged form factor with a 7 inch touch display, front and rear cameras, on-board memory and micro SD support. With wired and wireless connectivity options and a focus on workflow centralization, the MDT-7 is positioned for use in long haul trucking, local fleets, asset delivery, and mobile workforce management.
