About the MCU500e


The MCU500e is the latest development in the line of low-cost mobile control units for use on digital wireless networks from Thorcom.


The MCU500e is substantially smaller than previous units, and a reduced power consumption, yet has improved performance and functionality. As well as running event driven AVL, the MCU500e features a ‘black box’ recorder which continuously records vehicle movements and can be used for post incident analysis.


The MCU500 is very flexible when it comes to adding a wireless device, it is able to interface directly with industry standard digital bearer interface standards found on TETRA terminals (PEI); or GPRS modules (PPP); or MPT1327 Trunked Radios (MAP27).
