AERIS AND GEOTAB JOIN FORCES TO PROVIDE REAL-TIME TRACKING AND MONITORING SOLUTIONS FOR FLEET PRODUCTIVITY AND FUEL SAVINGS
Partnership Allows Faster Time to Market through Pre-Provisioned Devices
San Jose, Calif. - September 9, 2008 - Aeris® Communications, the leading wireless communications service provider dedicated exclusively to the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and telematics marketplace across North America, today announced it has partnered with Geotab, an end-to-end developer of fleet management hardware and software solutions.
As a wireless carrier that is focused on the transportation business, including over a decade of expertise in supporting fleet management and vehicle tracking solutions, Geotab's GO LIVE product line now includes an Aeris option providing real-time access to alarm, data usage and device status. Geotab's system incorporates data checks between the GO LIVE device and the customer's database to ensure that data is never lost. With coverage that spans from Canada into Mexico, Aeris's network allows companies with fleet vehicles to monitor where and when they use fuel to conduct business, deliveries, and services across North America in real-time.
Using Aeris's enhanced customer portal, AerPort, Geotab can provide customers with immediate access to all aspects of their wireless communications devices, including purchasing, specifications, device management, network performance, billing details and customer support.
"Our expertise in wireless connectivity and network operations complements Geotab's innovative applications and tracking products for fleet management," said Mark Cratsenburg, vice president of sales for Aeris. "Aeris reduces time to market for customers like Geotab by providing pre-provisioned devices that simplify the manufacturing and installation process, reducing time to revenue."
"We chose Aeris because of its North American coverage including the quality of the CDMA networks that Aeris roams on from Canada through the United Status and into Mexico," said Clive Cawse, Geotab vice president of operations. "The key benefit from Aeris is that our devices are live on their network from day one, keeping our solutions competitively priced and working reliably throughout their service lives. Aeris enabled
devices work right out of the box, providing us with faster time to market and reduced setup and installation overhead."
