OnAsset (News - Alert) Intelligence Inc., a company offering machine-to-machine (M2M) wireless asset tracking, sensing, and control solutions, together with Sprint has brought in the M2M industry's first-ever dual mode CDMA/GSM asset tracking solution for use around the globe.

Built for use in shipping units and different mode of freight, the OnAsset's SENTRY is an asset tracking solution that helps to track the location, temperature, pressure, humidity, light, motion, shock and vibration of high value assets transported via any mode of freight.

OnAsset and Sprint (News - Alert) worked together for several months to bring out the dual mode version of SENTRY that now expands the reach of asset tracking capabilities and offers customers greater flexibility in deploying the solution.

“We're excited to be working with a forward-thinking wireless carrier that's as passionate about changing the landscape of the M2M industry as we are,” said Adam Crossno, OnAsset's President and CEO. “We're leveraging Sprint's world-class network domestically and globally via Sprint's international partners to establish a world-wide footprint for our asset tracking technology.”

Users can get hooked to SENTRY to be informed about the whereabouts and the status of their cargo, via M2M-based communications with OnAsset's Vision management platform, across the Sprint wireless network.

Wayne Ward, vice president of emerging solutions at Sprint, said that their company’s open approach to expanding the M2M ecosystem, flexible and robust networks, and proven ability to execute solutions helps businesses and consumers benefit from M2M opportunities.

“Companies like OnAsset and their SENTRY product bring distinct enhancements to our M2M portfolio. Our value proposition is built on streamlining the process of deploying M2M solutions, while enabling customers to tap into our extensive M2M ecosystem, where they can choose from a broad selection of applications and expertise to support their specific objectives,” Ward added.
