Geotab launches telematics technology into Europe via Telenor Connexion

Telenor Connexion’s multi-operator solution will help Geotab expand their fleet telematics business overseas.

May 21, 2013 (Stockholm) - Geotab, a proven North American leader in developing breakthrough GPS fleet telematics solutions, has just launched its cutting-edge tracking device, the GO7 into the European market. Since completing certification on the Telenor Connexion global network, Geotab’s GO7 device can now be used by Fleet Managers and business owners in over 100 countries across Europe and Asia.

The GO7 device works in sync with Geotab’s GPS fleet management software, MyGeotab. The end-to-end solution enables managers to track and monitor vehicle locations, identify aggressive driving behaviors, optimize driver routes, and improve overall fleet health through ongoing maintenance reminders and alters. As a leading enabler of connected services, Telenor Connexion’s multi-operator solution and custom roaming profile works with Geotab’s solution to deliver valuable, real-time insight.

The launch has been identified as a natural next-step in Geotab’s roadmap, as the company already works with ten of the top 100 fleets in North America.

According to Clive Cawse, Geotab VP of Operations, “Extending our technology to multiple regions around the world which is not limited by geographic boundaries provides our customers with reliable service that they can rely on in order to optimally manage their vehicles and drivers on a daily basis.”
