The supplier received the award in February, Laura Willeford, the marketing director for AngelTrax, told School Bus Fleet.

The awards are presented annually and are based on business, growth, and the overall influence the companies contribute to the Western Digital WD Purple family of storage products.

Western Digital’s products include memory cards and hard drives that help store images and video from AngelTrax’s mobile digital video recorders and its mobile network video recorders, Willeford added.

“We are extremely honored to receive this Top Partner award from Western Digital. Our partnership with them has been vital to us at AngelTrax as we constantly seek new solutions to provide the very best experience for our clients,” said Richie Howard, the president and CEO of AngelTrax, in the news release. “The reliability of Western Digital’s storage media and the responsiveness of their research and development team has enabled us to push even further to bring new technologies to market for each of the transportation industries we serve. Partnering with Western Digital helps make us a better partner for our clients.”

The partnership between AngelTrax and Western Digital brings transportation solutions to the market through research and development as well as by driving thought leadership in the mobile video surveillance vertical, according to the supplier.
