LoJack and Novatel Wireless to Develop New Inventory Management Products for the Automotive Market

CANTON, Mass., Jan. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- LoJack Corporation (NASDAQ: LOJN), a leader in vehicle theft recovery and advanced fleet management solutions, announced today a collaboration with Novatel Wireless (NASDAQ: MIFI) to develop robust positioning and accuracy capabilities in the LoJack® Connect for Inventory Management system, which will be demonstrated in LoJack's booth (#5058W) at the 2015 National Automotive Dealers Association (NADA) Convention & Exposition.

With dual accelerometers, GNSS support, an open platform, the N4A Content Cloud Management System and more, the MT 3060 enables LoJack to offer a reliable, best of breed telematics solution to dealerships nationwide with the LoJack Connect for Inventory Management system.
