Orange will provide IoT connectivity services to Stonelin in
Europe and Asia over the next five years. Orange Business Services
has been involved closely with Stonelin since the prototype stages
of the devices, providing advice on optimal IoT connectivity
solutions. Stonelin has already run successful trials using Orange
SIM technology for the new devices in strategic locations across
the globe.
Stonelin plans to launch its first product – V-Trak – a low-cost
aftermarket vehicle tracker, designed for fleet managers to monitor
vehicle location and driver vehicle performance, in the first half
of 2017. Unlike other fleet vehicle trackers on the market, it does
not require any special fittings, which means there is no time lost
while the car is off the road.
This will be followed by the launch of D-Trak, a dementia and
Alzheimer’s ‘lost person’ wearable tracking device with unique
power management features that can track and locate patients when
they wander. A base station will act as a charger to the tracker
via Bluetooth, allowing the device to stay in low-power consumption
mode, until a virtual fence set up by the patient’s caregiver is
breached.
Last, Stonelin will release W-Trak, a tracker for carergivers
working in the homecare sector where they are employed to look
after people’s health and welfare needs. The tracker will monitor
how much time the caregiver spends travelling and how much time is
spent in each person’s home.
These innovative tracking technologies are built on the success
of Pettorway, a real-time GPS pet tracker, which was developed by
Stonelin’s founders.
“With our planned IoT portfolio, performance is paramount. As a
start-up, the Orange experience in GPS tracking, IoT connectivity
and connected device data support has been invaluable in the
development of our tracking products and will ensure they realize
their full potential,” explained Steven Stone, managing director,
Stonelin.
“We are proud to support Stonelin with their innovative tracking
technology. As a global provider, we can support them with accurate
and wide scale IoT coverage. And with our Datavenue IoT and data
analytics offer, we look forward to helping companies like Stonelin
capitalize on the ever-increasing connected world and data
explosion,” commented Helmut Reisinger, executive vice president,
International at Orange Business Services.
