New Forest Communications Announces That It Has Just Crossed the 100,000 Connected Devices Milestone
LONDON, January 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Whilst this is a drop in the ocean in the Internet of Things (IoT), for every SIM
connection, the company thinks there are a further 25 Orion connections to be gained.
Since the Orion network does not use SIM cards, the cost of providing real time asset
tracking [http://www.tracks360.com ] and asset monitoring [http://www.tracks360.com ] is
substantially reduced.
"The forecasts come from talking to our existing clients and understanding what assets
they would ideally monitor and track, if price was not a constraint," said head of
marketing, Jonathan Olliff-Cooper. "This puts the total UK market opportunity at around
two million devices, and that's just with the companies using our systems today. Orion is
going to be a game changer."
"SIM based systems and Orion based systems are not exclusive. Clients will mix and
match for different verticals, but in general, Orion's small size and near real time
capability suits many applications very well," continued Jonathan.
Analysis of the market has shown that the typical cost of ownership over three years
for a SIM based asset tracking device [http://www.tracks360.com ] is between GBP400 and
GBP600 in the UK. This may include monitoring and recovery services. However, an Orion
based solution is coming in around 80% less, at typically under GBP100 or even GBP80 per
unit. This has led to many companies trialling the Orion solution. What is unique is that
NFC provides the hardware, infrastructure and software, making it an attractive choice for
corporations looking for a complete turkey solution. Critically, the Orion Data Network
[http://www.oriondatanetwork.com ] can be deployed very quickly in almost any environment.
This makes it possible to conceive and trial a solution in a matter of days.
