The SIM card needed to operate M2M solutions is already integrated during the production stage.
Users therefore do not need to activate the SIM card, but rather the entire box.
To facilitate this, Kuantic has developed a special Extranet, via which the devices can be activated directly at the network operator HQ.
To do this, all the user needs is the device serial number.
Kuantic is thereby considerably simplifying the overall processes involved in M2M communication.
"So far, for companies who use M2M applications in large volumes in particular, this involved considerable additional outlay: Our equipment puts this problem in the past," says Jean Falchero, President of Kuantic.
Flexible fleet management application The innovative, low-cost products in the Dynatik range help logistics companies to constantly keep an eye on their vehicles, containers or freight goods.
With Dynatik, it is possible to trace precisely whether a vehicle is stationary or when it was moved.
Construction companies, for example, can thus check whether the equipment and plant they have hired has also been used at the weekend for private use.
Dynatik also helps companies locate their vehicles or calculate the kilometres they have travelled.
Car hire firms, for example, receive a signal as soon as the vehicle exceeds a pre-defined number of kilometres.
Logistics companies are also alerted by a similar type of signal if the number of kilometres reaches the figure at which the next inspection is required.
All information is sent via GPRS to a fleet management platform whose scope and functionality can be tailored flexibly to suit the user needs.
The volume of data transferred is less than two MB per month, which has a positive impact on operating costs.
For smaller companies, the monthly costs are around Euro 30 over a running time of 36 months, for example.
The GE863 module from Telit provides reliable GPRS transfer.
Thanks to its BGA concept (Ball Grid Array), it is extremely easy to integrate compared to other modules on the market.
Additional plugs and cables are not required.
Telit and Kuantic have been collaborating since 2004.
So far, Kuantic has used the Telit GM862 module.
Thanks to the Telit product range concept, the switchover to the new module did not involve any additional development work for Kuantic.
That's because all of the Telit products are easily scalable.
Telit is always on hand to provide a rapid response to technical queries from the Kuantic developers.
What's more, Telit also markets its modules at very attractive prices.
"The fleet management market is an extremely hard-fought market.
Attractive module prices and a clear migration outlay are therefore crucial for our customers - and highlight our commitment to the global M2M market," explains Dominikus Hierl, President Telit Wireless Solutions.
