KORE Telematics Announces Wireless GSM Voice Services to Enhance its Expanding M2M Network
Herndon, VA and Toronto, ON - KORE Telematics (www.koretelematics.com), North America's largest independent provider of digital wireless services for the machine-to-machine (M2M), telematics and telemetry markets, today announced a new suite of voice service offerings for the M2M market. KORE's leading digital data wireless network will now feature cost-effective, low-use voice services designed to enhance existing M2M applications, helping organizations improve security, customer service and operational processes.
Already providing basic voice service to tens of thousands of users, KORE's new packaged voice service offerings will make it easier for application service providers to embed and manage voice technology in their M2M applications. KORE's comprehensive suite of voice offerings will be integrated into the company's leading PRISM service management portal, enabling customers and partners to more easily manage the services and costs associated with their M2M applications.
"As M2M applications become more critical in business and our daily lives, users expect improved levels of service and communication from these networked devices",said Mike Stephens, vice president of product management, KORE Telematics. "While KORE's extensive, all-digital wireless network is already powering hundreds of thousands of M2M-based devices with the data transmission services our customers and partners were requesting, integration of voice capabilities is helping them drive further M2M application innovation. When they speak, we listen, and we hope these new voice offerings serve to reinforce KORE's position as the most comprehensive M2M wireless network provider in North America."
Voice services are becoming more prevalent and valuable to M2M and telematics applications across a number of vertical industries. For example, voice becomes critical to reach call centers in the event of an emergency or for delivery services. Voice services can also greatly enhance the safety and security features of today's existing M2M applications, such as security systems that want to ensure owners are safe, security companies that need to monitor guards, and the ability to speak with medical patients during healthcare monitoring.
KORE's wireless voice services are specifically designed for low recurring use, and not intended to displace high-minute cellular services. The KORE voice service suite provides customers and application service provider partners with a number of options for fulfilling their voice needs, including:
Dispatch Voice-one-way voice communication service enables calls
initiated by a wireless device to a central point, ensuring that there is no opportunity for fraud.
Enhanced Dispatch Voice-two-way voice communication enables
calls to be initiated from a call center to a wireless device, and ensures that no charges will be generated outside of the closed system.
Two-way Dialable Voice-similar to consumer voice services, the
two-way service enables wireless devices to be reached through a dialable number with security applications such as a caller line ID.
This service can also include E911 and voicemail options.
Roaming Support-for all services, KORE provides support in both
domestic and international roaming markets.
PRISM Gateway Integration-enables customers to manage all
aspects of the SIM provisioning directly within their own application with the PRISM Integration Toolkit (API). This enables customers to gain full control of network features sets, such as service features, roaming support and device activation and suspension.
