SMBs managing a fleet of vehicles have gained a new solution from integrated wireless systems innovator Qualcomm Inc. this week. The company announced the commercial availability of its Mobile Computing Platform 50 (MCP50), a fleet management solution that delivers Qualcomm’s software applications.
Accessible for fleets of all sizes, the MCP50 fleet management solution enables SMBs to meet safety and regulatory compliance requirements in managing business operations. Along with MCP50, Qualcomm has also launched flexible monthly pricing plans that deliver key applications to address specific fleet operational goals.
“We are committed to helping fleets succeed and grow as they adapt to new industry demands and regulations,” says Norm Ellis, Qualcomm’s vice president of sales, services, and marketing. “With more than 150 private and for-hire fleets of all sizes already committed to adopting the MCP50, we are pleased that our fleet management applications are now more accessible than ever.”
FEATURES OF MCP50
MCP50 delivers Qualcomm applications to meet the core operational needs of today’s fleets, including such safety and compliance requirements as FMCSA’s HOS regulations and CSA program. Accessible applications include:
- Qualcomm Hours of Service
- CSA Safety Performance Service
- Critical Event Reporting
- CoPilot Truck In-Cab Navigation (provided by ALK Technologies)
- Performance Monitoring with Fuel Manager
- Analytics Manager

Other Qualcomm applications planned for future releases of the MCP50 include Circle of Service Workflow, Trip Manager, and Vehicle Maintenance.
MCP50 offers integration with leading third-party enterprise software systems and is easy for fleets to adopt. The intuitive user interface requires minimal driver and back-office training.
To assist fleets in assessing their core fleet management technology needs, Qualcomm has also launched an online Solution Finder and ROI Calculator. †
