Greater Than Deploys Jasper Wireless Global Service to Monitor Driver Behavior across Europe
SUNNYVALE, Calif. (USA) — November 6, 2007 — Jasper Wireless, a licensed global machine-to-machine (M2M) mobile operator, today announced that Greater Than, a leading provider of tools and methods that increase profitability in the road haulage industry, has deployed the Jasper Wireless service platform as part of its Greater Than Drive product, a monitoring tool which tracks the driving behavior of drivers of commercial vehicle fleets.
The Jasper Wireless service platform, designed to connect and manage machines around the world, enables Greater Than to connect with the Greater Than Drive equipment installed in its customers’ vehicles across Europe and collect driver behavior data for analysis and measurement. The Jasper Wireless M2M Global SIM provides Greater Than with a seamless, multi-country wireless service, ensuring that critical driver data can be collected from a vehicle, regardless of its location in Europe.
“The nature of our customers’ businesses is that at any given time they will be operating multiple vehicles in multiple locations across Europe, which means Greater Than has to connect to constantly moving targets,” commented Anders Lindelöf, vice president and chief technology officer, Greater Than. “As a wireless machine-to-machine specialist, Jasper Wireless was able to meet this challenge by delivering a multi-country service proposition throughout Europe, while its stable, efficient and easy-to-use platform has helped to optimize Greater Than’s implementation process. This, combined with Jasper Wireless’ exceptional customer focus, support and single point of contact, means it is well placed to help Greater Than deliver its services to its pan-European customers,” continued Lindelöf.
The Jasper Wireless M2M Control Center empowers Greater Than with complete visibility and control over its wireless communications; while M2M vertical application solutions designed for the transportation industry help differentiate Greater Than’s service. The single point-of-contact service provided by Jasper Wireless means Greater Than only has to manage one vendor, one contract, one rate plan and one SIM for use throughout Europe.
“Building the Jasper Wireless service from the ground up for M2M communications gave us the opportunity to look closely at unique requirements of companies servicing the transport and logistics sector to ensure our service was able to address the wireless communication needs of vehicles traveling internationally,” said Cindy Patterson, executive vice president-international, Jasper Wireless. “We are delighted to be working with Greater Than to help them to achieve their aim of Greater Than Drive becoming the dominant tool in the European haulage industry.”
By collating and analyzing data from its customers’ pan-European vehicle fleets, Greater Than is able to provide insight into driver performance and behavior, enabling them to realize savings on fuel consumption, cut CO2 emissions, increase productivity, and reduce vehicle damages and repairs.
