Located in Azor, Israel’s Micronet has been in business for over thirty years and is a manufacturer of mobile computing platforms, designed for fleet management and mobile workforce management solutions. Fleet vehicles are taxis, buses and trucks, where management needs to have a uniform mobile system in place for all of its drivers.

Micronet states that it offers solutions which facilitate mobile workforce productivity, enable corporate efficiency, and enhance customer service. The company has sold about 400, 000 units of different programmable and versatile hardware products to fleet management and mobile resource management solution and service providers.
In a statement Micronet said that the A317 will allow for “a wide range of functions including corporate policy compliance; remote device access for online training, support and trouble-shooting; and over-the-air (OTA) functionality for highly secure and data efficient upgrades of application and operating system software.”
Rafi Katz has been the CEO of Micronet since 2005 and co-founded CT Motion, a cellular location-based services company and served as its Chief Executive Officer. In a statement he said, “Over the years, Micronet has grown to be the most popular supplier of rugged mobile data terminals worldwide. We continue to innovate in anticipation of our customers’ needs The A317 is the first in a new generation of products that we plan to introduce within the next two years to address the evolving needs of each of the mobile resource management verticals.”
Micronet Ltd., an Israeli corporation, maintains full in-house R&D – software and hardware – capabilities, and operates a modern manufacturing facility. It partners with companies such as Google, Microsoft and Texas Instruments, whose software and operating systems are the platforms for Micronet’s devices. The company went public last June and is traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Market.
