Telstra is launching its own location tracking service using Internet of Things (IoT) sensors for Australian consumers, small businesses and enterprise customers. Customers will be able to attach Telstra Locator Tags to their valuables and use the Telstra Locator App to help find them if they go missing.
Tags include a lightweight and long-lasting Bluetooth tag for keys and purses and a rechargeable Wi-Fi tag ideal for pets, bikes and bags. Early next year Telstra will introduce an LTE tag, designed for high-value assets such as vehicles and machinery.
The Telstra Device Locator feature for Telstra’s 24x7 App allows customers locate compatible Telstra mobile phones and SIM-enabled tablets on their Telstra account, including the ability to send tailored messages to lost devices and play sounds to locate devices in hard to see places.
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 2018.
Enterprise customers will be able to purchase Track and Monitor to enable low-cost, large-volume asset tracking, whether across multiple warehouses or retail sites, or while in transit.
The announcement follows Telstra’s deployment of Cat-M1 and Narrowband IoT technology on its mobile network over the past 12 months, the company says.
