M2M Connectivity Featured Article

Today’s telematics and fleet management customers are looking to lower data costs and improve operational efficiencies through the use of data analytics. In answering these needs, Aeris (News - Alert) Communications has partnered with Isotrak, a global fleet management software and telematics developer, to provide improved cellular connectivity and data analytics for Isotrak’s global customers.

Aeris will provide its new partner with its machine-optimized AerCore IoT and M2M network, AerPort connectivity platform and AerVoyance IoT and M2M analytics platform. That suite of services is designed to add advanced capabilities to the recently announced Isotrak 3iS FleetVision solution, part of the ATMSi fleet management system.

“The inherent security built into the Aeris system gives companies like Isotrak peace of mind, and the speed of onboarding, even with a private virtual network, provides a competitive advantage,” said Mohsen Mohseninia, VP, international market development, Aeris. “We can deliver technology that can be quickly deployed and will show immediate value while also helping to reduce the time to market for new products and services.”

The end result will be that customers will get a reliable mobile network, suited specifically for deploying the IoT and M2M solutions that next-generation fleet management requires, while providing actionable visibility and measurement into the performance of vehicles and drivers through data analytics. Isotrak’s integrated supply-chain solutions depend on accessing near real-time data with robust alerting and reporting capabilities, which Aeris delivers on its carrier-agnostic network.

“Our fleet management system provides data for a total vision of a fleet manager’s transportation ecosystem. We wanted to ensure reliable connectivity services and data insights no matter where our customers are located,” said Jason Price, Director, sales and marketing, Isotrak. “By leveraging Aeris’ expertise in IoT network solutions, we are able to quickly provide a robust, global solution that goes well beyond improved connectivity and competitive rate plans to offer customers real-time, useful information at their fingertips to help improve their cost structure.”
