Mobile Breakthrough, an independent organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global wireless and mobile markets, recently announced the winners of its 2017 awards program, and NimbeLink is proud to have won the “Industrial IoT Solution of the year” award for the Asset Tracking Solution. The 2017 Mobile Breakthrough Awards recognize innovation, hard work, and success in a range of mobile and wireless technology categories, including Cloud Computing, Wireless and Broadband, Mobile Management and Security, Internet-of-Things and many more. Besides NimbeLink, some of the winners this year include Google, Samsung, IBM, Verizon, Vonage, and Ericsson.
NimbeLink’s winning Asset Tracking Solution is a simple, battery operated, application-ready device that can be attached to anything—a pallet in storage, a shipment in transit, or a piece of valuable equipment—and tracked over the cellular network to indicate the asset’s location. It can operate for up to 7 years on four AA batteries, making it perfect for items in long-term storage. It includes GPS, temperature sensing, and motion tracking using NimbeLink’s embedded LTE M (Cat M1) cellular modem. It is just 4” by 4” and weighs only 8 ounces. Location data generated by the device can be sent to NimbeLink’s secure, cloud-based platform or a pre-existing platform of the user’s choosing. The Asset Tracking Solution can help reduce costly inventory, ensure on-time delivery, and boost customer satisfaction.
“We are experiencing the enormous growth and possibilities of the Internet of Things,” says NimbeLink CEO Scott Schwalbe. “NimbeLink is proud to help fuel that growth with products like our Asset Tracking Solution, based on the LTE M (Cat M1) Cellular technology. Our goal is to provide easy-to-deploy solutions that let our customers put our products to work or bring their products to market as quickly and easily as possible. We appreciate this recognition of our success in this field.”
