Datatec

Secure Vehicle Management

According to a recent Transforma Insights report, the connected car sector is anticipated to undergo significant growth, projected to reach an estimated 2.5 billion connections by 2030. Notably, over 13% of 1NCE's customer base is derived from the automotive sector, where vehicle diagnostics and fleet management play a substantial role. Meeting the demands of our clients, secure over-the-air (OTA) software updates and precise reporting stand out as major requests within this dynamic industry.

Background

Datatec, established in 1983 and headquartered in Tokyo, is a prominent Japanese technology player specializing in infrastructure and vehicle monitoring. Their Safety Recorder SR-LPWA is designed for efficient and secure over-the-air (OTA) software updates in the realm of fleet management and vehicle monitoring.  It facilitates comprehensive vehicle management through driving reports, dynamic monitoring, and operational time tracking.

Challenge

There is a high need for a high-quality connection especially when it comes to products responsible for customer safety. At the same time, existing telecommunications lines proved to be financially burdensome, while the company is growing its global presence beyond the Japanese region to operate both domestically and overseas.

1NCE Solution

Datatec is managing already hundreds of their Safety Recorder SR-LPWA devices with 1NCE. The platform, connectivity, and software of 1NCE unlocks a suite of features for efficient vehicle management and navigating fleet operations. In addressing Datatec's challenges, 1NCE’s Lifetime Flat license for 10 years model aligned with Datatec's aim for long-term use of managed IoT services without straining their budget. In addition, rigorous domestic driving experiments were conducted to ensure a high connection quality and maximum service reliability met Datatec's safety standards. On top of that, with the ability to function in 165 countries at a consistent price, 1NCE provided Datatec with an optimal solution for their anticipated overseas expansion strategy.
