Sierra Wireless Says Arval Selects Its Device-to-Cloud Technology - Quick Facts

(RTTNews) - Sierra Wireless (SWIR, SW.TO) announced that BNP Paribas' car leasing and fleet management firm Arval has selected Sierra Wireless device-to-cloud technology to build its new global telematics solution.

European vehicle leasing leader Arval is a leader in full service vehicle leasing, fleet management, and usage-based insurance owned by French lender BNP Paribas (BNPQY.PK, BNP.L). It offers expanded connected vehicle management service to enterprise fleet managers, based on Sierra Wireless AirVantage cloud and AirPrime embedded modules.

The Arval telematics solution leverages the Sierra Wireless AirVantage cloud, enabling Arval and its customers to monitor and manage a vehicle's usage through a telematics on-board unit wirelessly connected to the cellular network with Sierra Wireless AirPrime embedded modules.

Arval selected Sierra Wireless because the AirVantage cloud provides an accelerated development path - the cloud platform was already built and integrated with AirPrime embedded modules, and was able to easily connect to third-party application servers and their own web applications.

The AirVantage cloud is an integrated platform of services that enables organizations to quickly build and deploy IoT solutions, managing devices, subscriptions, and application data through a single interface worldwide.
