Chinese IoT device supplier Queclink has teamed up with Sigfox to launch initiatives to enable asset management and stolen vehicle recovery (SVR).

These two IoT brands have joined forces to enhance asset management and SVR worldwide. The first milestone of the partnership is marked by the launch of the GL52S, Queclink’s first Sigfox integrated tracking device.

The GL52S is resistant to jamming, largely used by car thieves, thanks to one of the benefits of Sigfox’s network. With its small footprint and over four-year standby time, the GL52S is a covert device suitable for vehicle and static asset tracking, as it combines Queclink’s expertise in designing battery-powered asset trackers with the Sigfox network that features low energy consumption, cost effectiveness and scalability.

Queclink and Sigfox will work together to uncover potential in IoT with more products to come with different form factors and targeted applications.

“Sigfox is delighted to partner with Queclink, one of the leading vendors in the global SVR market,” said Ajay Rane, vice president at Sigfox. “Sigfox and Queclink are delivering compelling IoT to SVR customers that leverage core competencies of both companies such as jamming resistance, innovative design, value priced small form factor devices, and industry leading global coverage for asset tracking and recovery.”

Alejandro Patino, vice president at Queclink, added: “The addition of the Sigfox 0G network in our extensive range of asset trackers adds significant advantage – resistance to jamming. This allows Queclink’s current and potential SVR customers to gain an even bigger lead in combats against auto theft. Our partnership with Sigfox is aligned with Queclink’s commitment to continuously creating smarter IoT through technical innovation and partnership.”

Sigfox is the 0G network pioneer and an IoT service provider. It combines low cost and low power technologies supported by a global network. With more than 17 million connected devices and 70 million messages sent a day, Sigfox helps its customers extract crucial data.
