Do you have a question about your qualcomm (brand qualcomm units)?

my question is VERY loaded.

And this is only a small portion of why I detest EOBR's and the storyline that log departments/safety and FMCSA tell us they want them.

If drivers only knew a small portion of what is really available out of that tattle tail box, they'd flip their minds.

 

I got a letter from the Sioux City IA PD saying they tagged me doing 66 in a 55 construction zone.

I got the above screen shot from the company dispatcher. It showed the exact same time stamp AND location as the PD speed camera on I29 and I was only doing 56 MPH.

Qualcomm threatened the local TV station with a lawsuit if they published the story on how their system showed how a faulty speed camera charge over 1000 residents of Sioux City IA with a $160 speeding ticket.

 

you read that correctly.

Qualcomm states their system does not show speed.

If it can not determine speed, then it does not track location or time. Which can be used to determine speed.

If that is the case, then you can't use it to accurately LOG where a driver does a change of duty. As it can't log time or location.

 

I think what they're trying to state is that their doesn't precisely calculate speed and in certain areas (lack of coverage) can inaccurately calculate speed. However it still is accurate from a logging perspective. Or something like that. The data that can be collect via reporting typically has ECM speed and GPS speed, these could vary from actual speed.

 

I want to know, since Qualcomm charges so much, why they are using technology from the 1980's in the MCP200? This is the most archaic POS I have ever seen. But then, it might have something to do with the archaic Windows version as the base of the the operating system. I had a Radio Shack Color Computer in the early 80's that has faster response than this thing. And the boot up time is downright criminal. Why these morons use a hard drive (that probably also is a hold over from the hard drives to the 80's) and not flash drive is questionable. And the touch screen is lousy sometimes. You can select something on it, and it will take up to 15 seconds to figure out you touched the screen and give you what you want. I have no problem with the type of programs in the system, but the hardware and the speed of which it does stuff really leaves a lot to be desired. Now I know why Qualcomm's stock does so well. They have dumped cheap, no count technology onto fleet idiots that wouldn't know a bit from a byte, and they are laughing all the way to the bank.

 

they nibbled.
