M2M Connectivity Featured Article

For businesses relying on the IoT or M2M communications, having a reliable connectivity partner is essential to long-term success. For package tracking solution provider TrackerSense, partnering with Aeris (News - Alert) has become a key part of its growth strategy in the industry. Aeris is helping the company provides reliable connectivity, global roaming, and a flexible platform to track its customers’ shipments worldwide in real time.

Using the AerCore IoT and M2M network, AerPort connectivity platform and AerVoyance IoT and M2M analytics platform, all from Aeris, to provide low cost, single-use or rechargeable solutions for deriving valuable intelligence about shipments, including position tracking, temperature, pressure, light exposure and shock, is making TrackerSense’s customers more powerful and efficient in their business pursuits.

“For a product like ours, when things go wrong you need an IoT or M2M solution that just needs to work,” said Wayne Soutter, Director, TrackerSense. “After evaluating other vendors beyond an impressive platform, what stood out for us about Aeris was their strong technical knowledge about IoT and M2M and this is what we felt would benefit our business the most. On top of this, the company’s team is there to help you in every step of the way to isolate issues and provide a quick resolution.”

TrackerSense products leverage GPS and land-based tracking services to provide real-time tracking and sensing anywhere in the world. Depending on how often the unit is programmed to check in, the Trackersense device is capable of more than 15 days of battery life. Customers can access the TrackerSense web portal to view tracking history, current location and, for the TrackerSense Ultra versions, environmental data of shipments enabling full tracing capability.

“When tracking packages and shipments in transit, the only point of contact you often have is with the IoT/M2M device. Our made-for-machines network and global roaming capabilities give our customers the ability to maintain that critical contact with the device throughout the entire process, from shipment to arrival” said Mohsen Mohseninia, VP, international market development, Aeris. “When something does go wrong, we pride ourselves in working with our partners to quickly provide an answer and solution to ensure they can meet their customers’ expectations.”
