About Wi-Tronix: Wi-Tronix provides products and services to wirelessly monitor high-value mobile assets such as locomotives, industrial equipment and marine vessels. In the past, mobile meant disconnected. Being disconnected causes great inefficiencies in an enterprise that counts on mobile assets for its core business operations. Advanced commercially available wireless technologies now enable all types of assets to be connected throughout most of the world. Wi-Tronix's mission is to integrate these technologies to enable businesses to improve the operational efficiency, service reliability and safety of high-value mobile assets.
