BRISBANE – One of Australia’s leading GPS technology and telematics companies announces a global partnership with Position Logic (a KORE Wireless Group company) to enhance its Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) offering.
BIGmate managing director Mark Shield says with M2M and IoT still relatively new to Australia, it was important to partner with a company that holds an international reputation to provide the right solutions to the local market.
“We are very excited to be able to partner with experts such as Position Logic to offer leading edge solutions in the ever-growing M2M and IoT sector,” says Mr Shield. “We will also be able to build on their products to cater to a range of industries, including the transport and logistics sector, which will also enhance our partnership. Our customers will now get the world’s best M2M and IoT services, each backed by BIGmate’s decade of experience in Australian logistics and telematics.”
Felix Lluberes, EVP of Advanced Applications at KORE, says the company was excited with the way in which BIGMate is leveraging their cutting-edge technology to build end-to-end solutions that power the transport and logistics sector throughout Australia.
“Position Logic is the world’s leading GPS-enabling and location-based services platform and we look forward to supporting the success that BIGMate will be able to realize throughout the region,” says Mr Lluberes.
BIGmate Head of Transport Rohan De Silva says the keys to optimising M2M and IoT tech are standardisation and interoperability. “The capacity of M2M and IoT tech to ‘capture enormous amounts of intelligence’ will change the face of transport logistics,” says Mr De Silva. “As an end-to-end solution, it can be a very powerful management tool to create efficiencies and provide better use of data provided the heightened connectivity is utilised properly. There’s a degree of education in IoT, but the key message from BIGmate is that this is space we can comfortably navigate for clients,” continued De Silva.
BIGmate has innovated in the telematics field for over 10 years and has seen the move towards M2M and IoT gaining momentum, says Mr Shield. “While not a new concept, the use of M2M and IoT is increasingly being explored by businesses in Australia as a measurement and management tool,” says Mr Shield. “Our philosophy is to provide the most appropriate technology in the market, such as that provided by Position Logic, with our decade-long, on-the-ground experience for the best solutions for our clients.”
