Lat-Lon's key products include a locomotive monitoring unit (LMU) and a solar-powered GPS monitoring system (STU) for railcars and trailers that allows fleet managers to know the condition and location of their assets at any given time. Lat-Lon has built a broad customer base including Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail), Union Pacific Railroad and ABB, Ltd. and currently has approximately 9,000 active units in the field.

"The acquisition of Lat-Lon will significantly expand BSM's product offering within the rail vertical by adding rail car and locomotive solutions to our current high-rail product offering," said Aly Rahemtulla, BSM President & CEO. "Through Lat-Lon, we acquire a strong product portfolio and access to an impressive customer base, positioning BSM as a clear leader within the rail vertical."
