1/ Excited to share the most profound product Estimote has ever imagined. It’s unparalleled in the market—a tiny LTE-m GPS device that can locate itself down to a meter and lasts for years on a battery. Full product info here and a few use-cases live below blog.estimote.com/post/177348177…
2/ Hilton and other large hospitality chains have deployed this as a life-saving device to locate housekeepers who push its panic button when in distress—important for new safety regulations and literally capable of saving people’s lives
3/ As a locatable wearable for patient care, healthcare providers can quickly find patients inside a large hospital with ease—simply push the alert button and help arrives
4/ No back-haul required—the device talks to LTE-m (low power IoT networks) WW to communicate status to the cloud. It can also be programmed via web. Code is compiled into a “micro-app,” and sent via LTE, allowing you to leverage Java to rewrite the actual firmware with new apps
5/ This isn’t a pre-release product. We are shipping to customers and already deployed. This product is a labor of love of what is possible with time-to-market (LTE-m is brand new) with fully verticalized SW & HW stack ownership
6/ This expands the horizon of what is possible with true location. 2 of the 3 world’s largest companies have quietly rolled out Estimote in full production. Many others are building the future, reimagining supply-chain logistics, distribution and tracking of assets and people
7/ After navigating the hype wave around IoT and beacons (and winning that market) we now have devices that bring the power of what mobile IoT can do to a small battery-powered device, effectively a smartphone without a screen. Thanks for reading and incredibly proud of our team!
