[May 12, 2009] LoJack Supply Chain Integrity Leverages KORE GSM Network to Safeguard High-Value Assets during Transport Tweet May 11, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- KORE Telematics, a digital wireless services provider specializing in machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, announced it has teamed with LoJack Supply Chain Integrity (LoJack SCI) to provide GSM wireless services to power their advanced supply chain monitoring and security solutions for the global transportation industry. LoJack SCI's service relies on KORE Telematics' M2M network for GSM services to enable LoJack SCI wireless devices to track, monitor and recover cargo in transit. LoJack SCI delivers an integrated solution for supply chain protection from tracking, monitoring and recovery to investigation and prevention, which enables organizations to reduce and manage risks in the supply chain. KORE provides LoJack SCI with an integrated GSM wireless network that addresses their domestic requirements and international expansion strategy. The groups said that KORE coverage capabilities, reliability, management and optimized usage plans enable LoJack SCI to ensure availability and dependability of its solution on a 24/7/365 basis for their members. "As we looked for a GSM wireless service provider that would help us deliver reliable visibility across the transit routes of our customers, at an economical cost, KORE stood out from the pack," said Robert Furtado, CEO of LoJack Supply Chain Integrity. "With KORE as our GSM wireless backbone, we have been able to build applications that make the supply chain operations of our customers as visible, secure and efficient as they can possibly be." With advances in M2M wireless devices and networks, shippers can covertly track their assets at the vehicle, pallet and even individual product level simultaneously-thus limiting exposure to theft and enabling manufacturers to audit their supply chain partners for adherence to security protocols. "When manufacturers and shippers move cargo worth millions of dollars, failure is not an option," said Alex Brisbourne, president and COO, KORE Telematics. "At KORE, we view our M2M wireless network as a value-added asset for partners like LoJack SCI that are innovating their respective industries."
