Billoo Development and Telenor Connexion join forces to offer global sustainable road mobility management solutions worldwide

Billoo Development and Telenor Connexion have today announced that they have formed a partnership to deploy “Billoo global sustainable road mobility management solutions” worldwide.

Congestion is a huge drain on the economy and on the environment with its costs running into USD$ hundreds of billions (3 percent of GDP in OECD countries and even higher in Asia).

– Traffic management is becoming increasingly important in modern society, and governments around the world are beginning to realize this. One of the strengths of the Billoo solution is its global deployment. As a provider of worldwide M2M connectivity solutions we are proud to form part of a partnership that offers governments all over the world, a solution that transcends international boundaries, says Pablo Contreras, Global Business Development Executive, Telenor Connexion.

Many strategies have been tested but only a permanent and real time management of traffic demands throughout an entire road network can properly solve road traffic issues. This requires a solution with the ability to process an extensive number of very short messages (via machine-to-machine, M2M, communication) and a high capacity of computations at low rates. The Billoo solution capitalizes on the high reliability and scalability that Telenor Connexion global M2M connectivity provides.

– Telenor Connexion offers Billoo a highly secure M2M infrastructure and organization, as well as support services for worldwide deployment. Its global mobile network is optimized to receive high volume data traffic, says Philip van der Heijden, CEO of Billoo Development BV.

By having developed its own solution from inception, by exchanging data between vehicles and its computer centre in a bi-directional manner and by computing this data in real time, Billoo offers a fully comprehensive solution based on GPS/GPRS technologies which solves all the main issues regarding the management of road mobility independently of the length and nature of the road network and independently of the number of vehicles moving simultaneously (regardless of vehicle quantity).

Billoo devices use the Telenor Connexion eSIM technology with the Telenor worldwide M2M services and the platform dedicated solely to M2M traffic. The Telenor Connexion M2M connectivity solutions provide Billoo the high security level that a road mobility management solution requires.

There is enormous potential and fast development in Location Based Services, LBS, and road mobility management solutions are a cornerstone to this progress.
