Challenge	KORE, a leading IoT and M2M service provider, faced a challenge when its customers began requesting processes to instantly locate their assets. A significant number of customers utilize older tracking units without GPS-embedded chips and some newer, cost-efficient tracking models are not GPS-enabled. Additionally, many of KORE’s more than 500,000 specialized tracking devices cannot be located via GPS or Wi-Fi technologies. If KORE customers could instant locate assets they would save tens of millions of dollars each year in operating and service costs. Read More
About Customer	KORE is the largest Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) service provider of global machine-to-machine network connectivity executed by its GSM, CDMA and satellite data services. It offers connectivity to the telematics and telemetry industries, providing programs such as vehicle location, utility metering, payment processing, landfill monitoring, asset management, offender tracking, home security and environmental monitoring. As technology evolves the demands of customers change accordingly and KORE customers began requesting processes to instantly locate their assets. Read More
Solution	KORE selected LocationSmart as its exclusive launch partner to deliver the instant location intelligence requested by its customers. KORE utilizes LocationSmart’s Global Site Identification (GSID) and mobile network location API to bridge the technological gaps needed to locate any wireless device. After the two technologies were integrated into KORE’s product suite, they were rebranded as KORE LOCATE and this created the M2M industry’s first multinetwork, location-based tracking service. With KORE LOCATE, customers are able to track assets via the company’s customer-facing platform, PRiSMPro. With the GSID solution from LocationSmart, KORE has access to a variety of location resources that are ideal for M2M and IoT industries. KORE is now able to locate any device utilizing GSM, Wi-Fi, CDMA, WCDMA (UMTS) or LTE. The GSID solution also locates devices while roaming and provides coverage for more than 200 countries.
