Advantix, Azuga partner to roll out SmartSIM-enabled GPS fleet tracking | IoT Now News & Reports

Advantix, a MCx provider, and Azuga, have formed a partnership to roll out SmartSIM-enabled GPS fleet tracking and dashcam solutions that connect to carriers including AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile in the U.S., and 475 providers worldwide.

By shipping the gear “hot” with Advantix SmartSIMs, Azuga eliminates the time-consuming need for fleet operators or their IT equipment providers to manually configure Advantix Access Point Names (APNs) in each device or contract with a mobile device management (MDM) provider to do it on their behalf. 

“We’re simplifying the configuration and deployment process and providing peace of mind for customers because our devices will automatically failover,” says Jeremy Collins, CEO of Azuga. “If the cellular connection fails, our equipment will seamlessly hunt for and connect to the next-available network. This ensures persistent connectivity and operability of our GPS fleet tracking and dashcam solutions regardless of the driver’s route or location.”

“We’re excited about our partnership with Azuga and know it will drive incredible value for fleet operators,” states Natasha Royer Coons, CEO of Advantix. “This integration combines Azuga’s end-to-end fleet management solution with the ultimate managed connectivity experience.”

Advantix is the initial MCx, a managed connectivity experience provider that delivers multi-carrier connectivity with SaaS tools built for optimisation, visibility, management and monitoring of network uptime and carrier switching.
