"We’ve already deployed the most advanced IoT technology on our mobile network, we’re now focused on harnessing IoT technology to introduce services that make customers’ connected lives easier," said Michele Garra, Telstra Head of Innovation & Strategy.
"Telstra’s new Location of Things products use connected technology to solve everyday problems for Australians - from families and local businesses through to our country’s largest enterprises."
Telstra is also working with a number of large organisations to trial its new Track and Monitor solution for enterprise customers, which will be available from October.
"As low powered network technology evolves, we are seeing customers looking to introduce and expand their asset tracking capability, far beyond current fleet tracking, to a whole range of items such as equipment, pallets and packages in mass volumes," Garra added.
