USPS awarded a $250 million contract to Honeywell for new mobile delivery devices, Jason Miller reports.
Miskanic told Federal News Radio the devices have features for data scanning, tracking, customizable applications and route deviations.
“It allows us a lot of opportunities to consider what is next for the future as we look to vehicles and the Internet of Things,â Miskanic told the station.
