Global M2M Coverage for Trailer Tracking
Tracking a vehicle as it crosses a national border or a container as its unloaded in a foreign port may seem like an easy task, but such international visibility is harder to maintain than one might think.
Machine-to-machine (or M2M) communications is dependent upon the cellular network to relay information back to the customer, and the morass of international roaming has presented huge barriers for multinational enterprises and regional M2M operators, said Alex Brisbourne, president and chief operating officer of Kore Telematics, a U.S. M2M service provider. “The industry is faced with the fact that a particular application is limited to a single country,” Brisbourne said.
