QSI Corporation’s rugged mobile data terminal (MDT), the VTERM-G55, is now integrated with Pi Star’s PiMobileCADS and PiMobileRAMP product lines, which are used to service the para-transit and home health care industry. The VTERM-G55 in-vehicle terminal allows Pi Star to schedule client pick ups; monitor vehicle mileage, transit times, location and speed; and send and receive messages to and from the driver. Pi Star is able to communicate with the VTERM-G55 in-vehicle terminal via an external GPRS and CDMA modem.

The VTERM-G55 mobile data terminal used by Pi Star uses a graphic display and a keypad to interface with the user. The terminal can be equipped with two EIA-232, -422 or -485 serial ports and/or an Ethernet 10Base-T interface. The VTERM-G55 has a 320×240 pixel, color LCD display measuring 96 mm (3.8″) diagonal. (optional grayscale display available) and is viewable in most lighting conditions. Other features include 24-key or 40-key membrane / steel snap dome keypad with LEDs; 2 Mbytes flash / 16 Mbytes SDRAM; programmable speaker and real-time clock. The VTERM-G55 in-vehicle terminal is ruggedized to withstand the shock, vibration, temperature and humidity environmental extremes common in many vehicle-related applications today.

“QSI’s VTERM-G55 is very rugged and resists the day-to-day use in this demanding environment. Drivers can even spill soda or coffee on terminals, then clean them up and they still work just fine,” says Mr. Tracy Glende, President of Pi Star. “We especially like that the VTERM-G55 is very easy to program, simple to use, and integrates easily with a variety of wireless communication devices.”

The VTERM-G55 mobile data terminal uses an object-based graphic terminal programming language called Qlarity® (pronounced Clarity). Designing a simple control panel interface or a complete stand-alone application has never been easier. The ability to use pre-defined objects, edit existing objects or author your own objects provides flexibility to the novice and expert alike. Qlarity Foundry®, a PC-based design tool, provides a Windows® environment for screen creation, application simulation, debugging and downloading to the VTERM-G55.

“We are delighted that Pi Star has chosen to use our VTERM-G55 terminal as an integral part of their PiMobileCADS and PiMobileRAMP products. Their success with this terminal once again proves that QSI provides world-class mobile data terminals that are rugged, powerful, economical and highly configurable to a wide range of users,” says Tyler Phillips, Vehicle Products Manager at QSI Corporation. “We look forward to helping Pi Star to continue to grow their business.”

Mobility Scooter Rentals-Consider For Your Next Vacation

Mobility Scooter Rentals-Consider For Your Next Vacation

Electric and gas mobility scooters have become extremely popular in the last decade or so. For many people with limited mobility due to disabilities, or health or age-related issues, mobility scooters have helped them lead more of a normal and active lifestyle. If you have limited mobility and are planning to travel, you may want to consider incorporating a scooter rental into your trip.

There are many reasons to rent a mobility scooter for your next vacation. If you are traveling with others, you will be more independent and able to get around quicker and easier. Traveling can be fun, but it can also be tiring. By driving your mobility scooter, instead of continuously walking, you will be able to conserve more energy, and really be able to enjoy the sights, without becoming exhausted.

Mobility scooter rentals have become increasingly accessible. Depending on your travel needs, there is a chance you will be easily able to find a rental. If you are taking a cruise, or plan to vacation at a well-developed tourist destination such as Florida, there will be many places that have scooters available. In fact, many will deliver the scooter straight to your hotel room, or to the cruise ship.

The best time to start your scooter rental process is before you leave for your trip. You will find many national and local rental companies online. You can review the different models available, and in many cases book and make the reservation right from the website. Of course, you can always telephone for your reservation, but it is a good idea to take a look online and see what type of models you are interested in. Usually, rental mobility scooters are electric powered, which makes them convenient to use.

Renting a mobility scooter is similar to renting a car. You will have to provide your credit card, and the rental company will have a variety of charges, such as the deposit, insurance, and daily or weekly rental fees. You may also be able to get a better deal if you ask about weekly specials, or provided discounts. The company will also take any special requirements into consideration, such as height or weight restrictions. At the end of your trip, they will normally come and pick-up the scooter, or arrange for you to drop it off, if that is convenient for you.

Even if you do not normally use a mobility scooter, you may want to think about renting one for your next vacation. If you are concerned about limited movement and dependency issues, having a scooter will greatly add to your vacation enjoyment. You may appreciate having the scooter so much, you will want to purchase one for your daily use when you return!
