[SatNews] M2M wireless network provider, KORE Wireless, and  ATrack, a leading Telematics hardware manufacturer, have established a global partnership to provide ATrack customers access to KORE M2M network services in more than 150 countries worldwide.

This partnership allows ATrack to provide eligible customers free of charge the KORE M2M Starter Kit, including two KORE Global Connect SIM cards, with 90 days of M2M data and SMS for testing hardware on the KORE M2M Network.

Vice President and General Manager of KORE Wireless Asia Pacific, Mr. Shane Murphy, said, “With providers like ATrack, finding a quality Telematics device is now easier than ever before. It is very complex and time consuming creating relationships with local network operators in every country you want to deploy in. By partnering with KORE, ATrack can now provide their customers with a single SIM that will work in multiple countries, across multiple carriers and get them connected instantly. Working together with ATrack further cements KORE’s commitment to developing relationships and growing through Asia regionally.” “Asia is poised to be the fastest growing region for M2M over the next 5 years. Our goal is to partner with quality device and application providers across the region to make sure that our customers have all the tools necessary to take advantage of this exciting market shift.”

This marks the first partnership of its kind between KORE and ATrack, who have historically focused purely on providing hardware, leaving their customers to find their own network provider in each country.

Frank Tang, CEO of ATrack, said, “Our customers are still free to select their own network when they use our hardware, however what we are doing with this partnership is allowing those customers who don’t have an existing relationship or want to deploy using the power of a dedicated M2M network provider with easy, quick access to test their new device on one of the world’s largest M2M networks free of charge.”

New and existing ATrack customers can contact their ATrack sales manager for a referral code allowing them to sign up for the KORE M2M Starter Kit at http://www.korewireless.com.au/m2mstarter/ ATrack customers who sign up will receive 2 KORE Wireless SIM Cards with 90 days access to the KORE Global M2M Network including 30MB of data across 2G & 3G networks, 20 SMS Messages and service in over 150 Countries (network availability may vary by country).
