AngelTrax was named one of data storage device manufacturer Western Digital’s 2020 Smart Video Top Partners, as one of 20 honorees, according to a news release from the supplier.
The supplier received the award in February, Laura Willeford, the marketing director for AngelTrax, told School Bus Fleet.
