Airgain, a California-based provider of wireless connectivity, is working with Deutsche Telekom IoT to connect its asset tracking devices with IoT network coverage.

The agreement will allow Airgain to bundle connectivity from Deutsche Telekom IoT with its asset-tracking customers across Europe, the Middle East and Africa as well as within the USA and beyond.

Airgain’s cellular-based asset tracking allows for tracking throughout an asset’s entire journey, whether inside, outside or in transit. These devices have a battery life of up to 14 years, LTE-M and NB-IoT cellular technologies, and the ability to integrate seamlessly with any enterprise software stack.

In addition to location tracking through cellular, GPS and wifi triangulation, Airgain’s asset trackers can monitor motion, temperature, humidity, light and more.

“Adding Deutsche Telekom IoT as a connectivity partner gives Airgain additional global reach,” said Morad Sbahi, chief revenue officer at Airgain. “They are a world-class partner with broad capabilities and a world-class signal. At Airgain, we are excited to partner with one of Europe’s top IoT innovators.”

T-IoT is Deutsche Telekom’s new global IoT offering. Together, Deutsche Telekom and T-Mobile US enable global IoT networking with the appropriate mobile technologies, from NB-IoT and LTE-M to LTE and 5G. T-IoT customers thus have a single point of contact and contract for their global IoT projects. Among other things, this simplifies customer care and support and allows simple, transparent pricing.

“We are very excited to work with Airgain and their award-winning asset tracking,” said Klaus Doblich-Fruhstuck, senior global account director at Deutsche Telekom IoT. “Not only does it help us grow the list of IoT devices that are certified to work on our network, it allows us to partner with Airgain on their innovative IoT projects on both sides of the Atlantic. We look forward to growing our global footprint together.”
