Aeris to Bolster Network Intelligence for American Trash Management(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Aeris Communications, a wireless communications service provider dedicated exclusively to the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and telematics marketplace across North America, announced a partnership with American Trash Management (ATM) in which ATM's Wireless SmartTrash System is certified on the Aeris network. According to the company, the SmartTrash System time-stamps, records and analyzes activity on trash compactors and wirelessly transmits vital data such as energy utilization, directional valve shifts, safety door switches and unit logistics to the ATM data center. By selecting the Aeris network, SmartTrash benefits from pre-activation service at the factory and lower operating costs via improved network intelligence and notifications on unusual device activity. "One of the best things about Aeris is that it functions as its own wireless carrier," said Scott Brown, president of ATM. "Unlike resellers who do not have visibility into the networks their customers use, Aeris has direct connectivity and can therefore 'see' devices in the field to assess and regulate performance. This is an exceptional support model that will allow us to scale our operations without adding "SmartTrash offers a state-of-the art trash management solution that is environmentally responsible, reduces hauling and labor costs and increases overall efficiency in operations," said Mark Cratsenburg, vice president of sales of Aeris. "The system is a natural fit for the Aeris network, especially as it showcases our depth of coverage, online management tools and commitment to customer support."
