Efficient IoT Geolocation Optimizes Supply Chain and Enables New Tracking Applications

New white paper now available from Sequans’ technologists

From containers and pallets to individual parcels and re-usable shipment boxes, the tracking of goods and packages is critical to building effective, optimized and environmentally sustainable supply chains. At the same time, geolocation plays an increasingly important role in applications ranging from vehicle fleet management and lost vehicle recovery to location of shared scooters and e-bikes and support for eCall emergency assistance systems.

Unlike navigation systems or sports watches and fitness trackers where real-time continuous positioning is needed, many of these applications only require the accurate location of a particular item periodically – once every few minutes or hours or, in certain cases, even just once every few days. This is opening up opportunities for IoT-based tracking solutions that combine connectivity, cost optimization, low-power operation and accurate location functionality and that can be delivered with the shortest possible time-to-market.

In this new whitepaper authored by Sequans and Nestwave (now part of NextNav), you’ll learn how new connectivity solutions combining cellular with software GNSS are enabling a much wider range of asset tracking applications with much more efficiency, creating many new IoT business opportunities.
