Telit Wireless Solutions has announced that KT’s Global Freight Tracking Security Control Business employs the company’s HE910 and UC864 modules to deliver edge-side cellular connectivity for the service.
With KT’s global telecommunication network used as the foundation, the Global Freight Tracking Security Control Service leverages the ConTracer platform co-developed by POSCO ICT and S-Winnus. Telit mobile data modules were employed in the ConTracer which is capable of tracking temperature and humidity inside the container, impact and location information. eSeal is an innovative element of the solution which provides location data and container seal information.
As Telit HE910 WCDMA module provides comprehensive telecommunication band-coverage, it supports global roaming in areas covered by 3G networks, enabling real-time monitoring regardless of the country of export destination.
“Cost was top priority for freight forwarding solutions in the past. Management and security have been gaining importance however. I am glad that Telit, with its long years of professionalism in tracing and security, is contributing to the effective globalization of the Korean companies. As Korea becomes a stronger exporting country, more demand for global roaming is expected,” said Ho-sang Kim, Senior Sales Director Korea & Japan, Telit Wireless Solutions.
The new service capabilities are of particular interest for the Korean companies exporting to the U.S. markets as they allow exporters to respond efficiently to the requirements from the American Safe Port Act which is to go into effect at the end of this year. The Safe Port Act requires that all containers entering the U.S. territory be equipped with security equipment.
Freight enclosed in containers with tracking control solutions may be exempted from inspection,
resulting in a quicker customs clearance process.
