Kore Telematics Partners with Telit Wireless Solutions to Bring m2m Capabilities to North America
Within weeks of their launch, U.S.-based Telit Wireless Solutions was selected by KORE Telematics, the leading specialized provider of wholesale digital wireless services for the m2m market, to co-market m2m solutions. Together the companies are jointly promoting each other’s services and products to North American application integrators, service partners, and end customers to elevate each company’s sales efforts and accelerate industry adoption of m2m wireless technology.
Headquartered in Herndon, Virgina, KORE Telematics provides comprehensive platform services and support for the m2m market including unbundled, aggregated services backed by flexible usage-based call management and billing output services. With operations in Canada and the U.S., KORE provides service to more than 200 North American applications providers in a broad cross section of segments enabling them to launch tested and approved m2m services quickly, inexpensively, and reliably.
For Telit and KORE customers, cellular device selection and wireless service are the critical, and typically the most complex, components of an m2m solution. The synergy in this relationship is rooted in these companies’ ability to provide the skills, resources, and expertise required to assist their customers with identifying and deploying the critical components in their total m2m solution.
KORE’s President and COO Alex Brisbourne noted, “Telit’s outstanding customer-focused approach combined with proven success in Europe, coupled with exceptional leadership in their new North American operation makes them an ideal forward-looking partner. By working together, we will provide mobile application integrators an end-to-end solution that enables quicker time-to-market with reduced technical risk for their cellular applications.’’
KORE Telematics provides all functions usually available from mainstream mobile communications operators, but with even more flexibility. KORE enables a full suite of wireless capabilities including GPRS, 2-way SMS, GSM voice, mobile emulation, WAP and static IP services, and even mobile mail applications. Through their modular set of components, application integrators, service partners, and end customers can assemble custom m2m services through the integration of standardized elements at lower cost.
By jointly developing and delivering ongoing support and technology enhancements to improve life-cycle ownership experiences, Telit and KORE will jointly shorten the amount of time taken for application integrators and service partners to integrate, test, and launch new m2m services. Offering an end-to-end solution incorporating each company’s respective technologies will reduce problem identification and resolution times in all stages of the service life cycle, while minimizing the time and cost associated with device approvals and certifications.
“KORE shares our customer-driven approach to the m2m mobile communications marketplace. Their support will prove invaluable in advancing our initial marketing efforts in North America. Together, we will focus our efforts on making the customer’s success our number one priority,’’ said Telit Americas President & CEO Roger Dewey.
