Through Sprint Curiosity™ IoT, a fully dedicated, distributed
and virtualized core network and operating system built for IoT,
Sprint's customers and channel partners will be able to provision
CalAmp devices, as well as leverage CalAmp software services to
develop or enhance vertical market offerings. Sprint has plans to
leverage these capabilities to offer a Supply Chain Intelligence
solution, which provides real-time visibility, environmental
information and data analytics about goods in transit. These
detailed insights will enable manufacturers and transportation
service providers to make informed decisions, secure assets and
comply with regulations to improve overall supply chain efficiency
and help drive greater profitability for Sprint enterprise
customers.
"CalAmp's broad telematics device and service portfolio, coupled
with Curiosity™ IoT opens up access to multiple vertical market
applications leveraging our next generation CAT M network," said
Ivo Rook, senior vice president, IoT
and product development at Sprint. "From food safety through supply
chain to high value asset monitoring, our work with CalAmp allows
us to deliver the solutions that address the specific business
challenges of our enterprise and SMB customers to drive actionable
intelligence that can improve business outcomes."
Through the agreement, CalAmp will develop intelligent
telematics devices leveraging Sprint's CAT M next generation
wireless network to provide actionable insights from cars, trucks,
trailers and other mobile assets that increase safety and boost
productivity. CalAmp iOn DaaS bundles a telematics device with
access to a broad portfolio of connected car micro-services, such
as CrashBoxx™ crash response and driver behavior scoring, allowing
Sprint enterprise and channel partners to lower business costs and
drive new revenue streams from subscription services.
"Sprint's Curiosity™ IoT platform establishes the perfect
environment to expand access to our fleet management, supply chain
and subscription-based services," says Carl
Burrow, senior vice president of global sales. "We see this
relationship as much more than a product offering, but an avenue to
develop solutions that enhance the customer experience and drive
better business performance."
