OXNARD, CA--(Marketwired - May 21, 2013) - CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading provider of wireless products, services and solutions, today showcased a new location-and-messaging device for automobiles and light trucks at CTIA Wireless Conference and Exhibition. The affordable and versatile LMU-3030, featuring cellular data communications capability and high-sensitivity GPS for precision location-based services and tracking, will enable wide-scale consumer deployment for a variety of automotive applications including insurance, fleet management and driver behavior management.

"The LMU-3030 is an economical, full-featured vehicle monitoring product designed for easy and reliable installation in passenger or light-duty vehicles," said Greg Gower, Senior Vice President and General Manager of CalAmp's Mobile Resource Management business. "This device is an ideal solution for automotive insurance, driver behavior management, car rental and other automotive applications where simple installation is required."

CalAmp's new LMU-3030 features HSPA, CDMA and GPRS connectivity options for robust mobile communications and sensitive three-axis 16G accelerometers optimized for detecting aggressive driving maneuvers such as harsh acceleration, braking and cornering, as well as high-impact events. With its highly sensitive internal antennas and small footprint (1.7"x2.5"x1"), along with optional features like a backup battery and Bluetooth personal area networking, the LMU-3030 is feature-rich and can be quickly and reliably installed.
