LONDON, Sept. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Telit, a global
enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced that
OpticalLock is using the Telit xE910 family of modules
to help railroads, shipping companies, storage facilities and
other businesses monitor and secure high-value mobile and fixed
assets. The partnership is the latest example of how Telit enables
solutions like OpticalLock to secure key parts of the global supply
chain against piracy, which the International Chamber of Commerce
(ICCC) predicts will drain $4.2
trillion from the world economy by 2022.
OpticalLock provides a comprehensive suite of connected
solutions for monitoring, securing, tracking and recovering assets
in shipping containers, trucks, planes, rail cars, security boxes,
storage facilities and more. The suite includes the OpticalLock
OPTi-100 product series, a palm-sized device whose shackle fits
inside the eye rings designed for traditional locking mechanisms
and provides status alerts.
The OPTi-100's patented sensors detect motion, security status,
humidity, location and other conditions. When there is a change,
the OPTi-100 uses cybersecure, wireless communication to send an
alert to the shipping company, asset owner or another authorized
party. Customers can choose the version of the OPTi-100 depending
on which wireless technologies they want to use. The OPTi-100A and
OPTi-100B use the Telit xE910 family of modules, which support all
major cellular technologies, from legacy GSM through 4G LTE,
including Cat M1, NB1 and NB2.
The xE910's network flexibility ensures that the OPTi-100A and
OPTi-100B can maintain a constant, reliable connection, which is
critical for securing high-value assets as they travel across a
country, continent or the world. The xE910 also offers satellite
positioning technology as an option, which OpticalLock uses for
applications such as geofencing. At just 28.2 × 28.2 mm, the xE910
is highly compact, enabling OpticalLock to shrink the OPTi-100 to a
palm-sized device.
"Telit's technical expertise and technology are key for meeting
our goals of designing a discrete, highly compact and
internationally compatible solution," said Jorge Sanchez, OpticalLock, CTO. "Telit's robust
hardware portfolio provides OpticalLock the perfect size,
global compatibility and quality of connectivity to make our
hardware design a reality."
"The global market for pirated goods is worth about $500 billion annually, according to the
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
OpticalLock is a leader in providing businesses with the IoT tools
necessary to secure their products and supply chains," said
Dennis Kelly, Senior Vice President
Americas Sales, Telit. "Telit's xE910 modules ensure that
OpticalLock customers can be confident that they always know the
location and status of their high-value assets virtually anywhere
in the world."
