“With so many innovative M2M solutions and an ever-expanding list of service providers, KORE is honored to be recognized for the 13th time as a technology enabler in the Connected World magazine Value Chain Awards by showcasing the unique applications our customers are implementing,” said Alex Brisbourne, president and COO, KORE. “KORE is committed to working with our customers and partners to power applications by providing cost-effective and reliable connectivity solutions designed to meet a number of industry-specific business needs. With M2M and the Internet-of-Things on the rise, KORE continues to deliver the services required to help our customers expand globally and deliver the new, more powerful M2M solutions that are creating a truly connected world.”
“Making your cities cleaner, keeping students in schools, enhancing your sports-viewing experience. These are just a few ways this year’s award winners have found success,” says Peggy Smedley, editorial director, Connected World magazine. “And they certainly prove that in today’s tech world, it is really all about M2M.”
The Allen Lund Company relies on the KORE M2M network to power LocusTraxx OverSight, a wireless dashboard that monitors the safety and security of shipments through automated self-reporting. In addition, LocusTraxx’s SmartTraxx telematics and SmartTag sensors continuously send and receive data on shipment temperature, security and location of vehicles to ensure that the Allen Lund Company’s perishable shipments make it to their destination on time and in peak freshness.
The KORE network enables BigBelly Solar to collect data on its renewable solar-energy powered waste and recycling stations, allowing cities to cut CO2 emissions and reduce litter.
Powered by the KORE M2M network and ThingWorx’s communication device, All Traffic Solutions’ web-based, wirelessly enabled, intelligent traffic signs enable customers to determine safety benchmarks, traffic pattern flows and ultimately improve the flow of city traffic.
