Enfora and T-Mobile USA, Inc., today announced availability of the T-Mobile embedded SIM into Enfora’s Enabler® III low-power embedded platforms and the Spider® MT and AT – mobile tracking and asset tag platforms – used in asset management, smart energy, transportation, medical and security applications

Efforts will include T-Mobile USA providing embedded SIMs pre-configured with affordable wireless data connectivity for Enfora devices. Designed around low power technology, the Spider and Enabler platforms make it possible to monitor valuable corporate assets, such as meters, trailers, containers or medical equipment, for up to 3 years. Given the length of time these types of devices remain in the field, it also becomes essential to seamlessly manage these assets remotely. Enfora’s Services Gateway includes a user-friendly middleware environment to directly connect, manage and provision wireless devices from existing enterprise applications.



“By working with T-Mobile, we obtain access to advanced SIM technologies so that we can expand our solutions into some extended temperature environments, while at the same time, shorten the time to market with a certified, secure platform,” said Jeff Newman, Chief Strategy Officer at Enfora. “Additionally, this joint solution with a non-removable SIM increases both security and industrial longevity.”



John Horn, national director of M2M, T-Mobile USA, said, “We’re excited to integrate our technology with Enfora’s efforts to deliver a rapidly deployable solution that is more durable and cost effective for customers.”



Initially targeted at asset management, smart grid infrastructure and remote monitoring solutions, the combined T-Mobile and Enfora solution offers a higher degree of reliability while reducing maintenance and support costs over traditional removable SIM-card based solutions. Customers are able to customize a solution to meet their specific needs and be ensured of the security and longevity of their application.
