Sumitomo, a leading manufacturer of excavators, asphalt pavers and other construction equipment, is a long-standing customer of QUAKE, having pioneered the integration of QUAKE’s Q1200 modem into its equipment tracking and monitoring telematics solution in 2005. Sumitomo’s decision to upgrade to QUAKE’s new generation Q4000 consolidates various hardware components onto one state-of-the-art hardware platform, thus, optimizing the total cost of its next generation telematics solution. Furthermore, the Q4000 introduces other new capabilities such as automatically routing data through the most-efficient wireless network and CANBUS integration.

“QUAKE and Sumitomo have been close technology partners for many years, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with this industry leader. Sumitomo’s decision to extend their relationship with QUAKE by adopting our new technology reinforces QUAKE’s long-standing position as the leader in heavy equipment telematics,” stated Polina Braunstein, QUAKE’s President & CEO. “Our products are designed so that customers like Sumitomo can concentrate on maximizing their product development and production efforts while QUAKE concentrates on reducing Sumitomo’s burden of managing the complex M2M technology environment.”
