Myriota partners with Future
Fleet International to create an advanced satellite
IoT-connected asset-tracking device
Myriota has announced a new
partnership with Future Fleet International, an
Australian telematics provider that delivers advanced
fleet management solutions. With this partnership,
Future Fleet will reduce the carbon footprint for
multiple industries by developing a new vehicle and
asset tracking technology – the NX-01 intelligent
tracking solution – underpinned by Myriota’s low-power
IoT technology and satellite connectivity.
Founded in 2003 and headquartered
in Queensland, Future Fleet is one of the leading
providers of advanced telematics for fleet management
across Australia and New Zealand, with plans to expand
into global markets. Powered by Myriota’s pioneering
satellite IoT connectivity, Future Fleet plans to
advance its capabilities across fleet management with
the first asset tracking device on Myriota’s global
network. Myriota’s patented direct-to-orbit transmission
is the perfect fit for the mobile asset tracking
industry with its ability to transmit data without the
need for terrestrial infrastructure, anywhere in the
world.
The NX-01 intelligent tracking
solution will be Future Fleet’s most advanced asset
tracking device to date - brought to life via Myriota’s
low-power secure satellite IoT connectivity. Together,
the partnership will provide Future Fleet customers
across agriculture, mining, and logistics and transport
with a more reliable and cost-effective tracking
solution to complement traditional cellular-based GPS
tracking devices especially in remote and isolated
areas. The new solution will launch in Q4 2020,
massively accelerating Future Fleet’s savings on asset
tracking by more than 50%, while also strengthening
service, security and battery life for its customers.
“Our partnership with Future Fleet
is a testament to the forward-thinking nature of both
organisations. Together, we’re creating an opportunity
to not only rapidly advance the capabilities of the
transport and logistics sector at large, but also lower
the sector's carbon footprint through optimised routes
and reduced fuel consumption,” said Alex Grant, CEO,
Myriota. “Future Fleet’s new NX-01 intelligent tracking
solution is the culmination of two best of breed
companies working together, providing transport
organisations with a distinct advantage over their
competition and total visibility of their assets.”
At the onset of COVID-19,
industries, such as mining and long-haul transport,
faced an uncertain new reality with less staff on the
ground than ever before due to social distancing
restrictions. The ability to reliably and affordably
track assets is key to the stability of these industries
during a time when there is a cap on available labour,
and decision-makers are looking to save resources for a
long-term business outlook.
“Future Fleet has always been a
customer-centric business, providing the best service
and technologies possible to our customer base. Our
partnership with Myriota provides us with the capability
to revolutionise how our customers track and manage
their assets - allowing for a more reliable and
cost-effective technology across the board,” said
Richard Saad, General Manager, Future Fleet. “When
analysing the IoT landscape as a whole, we knew quickly
that we wanted to partner with Myriota as they’ve
consistently been ahead of the competition in driving
innovation in IoT and growing a global network. We’re
thrilled to work closely with Myriota and bring its
global network of satellite IoT connectivity to our
customers.”
"As a customer of Future Fleet
International for 5+ years, it’s exciting to hear that
they are partnering with Myriota to develop an
innovative asset tracking solution for a global coverage
network,” said Rolf Mitchell Queensland State Manager at
Australia's largest private provider of multi modal
public transport -, Keolis Downer. "Keolis Downer is a
national people transport organisation and we rely on
asset tracking solutions as they are critical to our
day-to-day operations for maximising and monitoring
driver efficiency and improving resource allocation and
providing the best customer service experience."
"Future Fleet International have
been a trusted and supportive partner with our company
in this space and this partnership between them and
Myriota may benefit our organisation with new
innovations as well as the logistics and transport
industry as whole. As KD is an innovative organisation,
we look forward to evaluating this solution when it is
launched to consider any benefits it will add to our
operational environment."
