Travel SIM for things

The number of international travelers is set to reach 1.8 billion by 2025,1 and as travel statistics continue to rise, so do roaming expectations. Day to day, consumers are reliant on an increasing number of connected devices, which are equally – if not more – important when traveling abroad. Travelers expect their devices to remain operational wherever in the world they are, with reliable, high quality, cost effective connectivity. For providers, the Travel SIM market is highly competitive – as customer demand increases, operators must deliver the best customer experience at the right price, to remain viable.

Pervasive Vehicle-2-Anything Connectivity Enables Safe, Engaging Rally Racing Experience

Over the past decade, a surge in rally sport competition has resulted in greater incidences of injury, fatalities, and property damage. In an attempt to mitigate these risks, regulators and rally industry representatives are taking steps to rewrite many of the procedures, requirements, and rules currently on the books. This includes firming up team and vehicle licensing requirements, mandating the use of specialised safety equipment, and requiring the latest integrated in-vehicle GPS and communication technologies.

Golf course intelligence software

Traditionally, teams of marshals on a golf course would manage the flow of play and ensure that golfers weren’t holding up players behind them. They would need to manually identify and locate slow groups of players, requiring time and many resources. With Tagmarshal’s system, all the information about where players are on the course and how long they are taking to complete the hole is now sent back to marshals via GPS devices.

Protecting Hotel Staff with Panic buttons

In this use case we show how monitoring the hotel employee’s location is simplified thanks to the use of WiFi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) as well as AVSystem’s products—Linkyfi Location Engine (advanced system for indoor positioning) and the Coiote IoT Data Orchestration platform (IoT platform for integrating, visualizing and processing data).
