Wyless wins contract with FollowUs to support tracking system
Wyless, the international wireless data communications company, has been chosen by FollowUs, one of the UK’s leading tracking companies, to provide wireless connectivity for its wide range of solutions.
FollowUs offers low-cost mobile phone tracking and GPS tracking services for business and home users. In the past four years FollowUs has grown to become the one of UK's largest providers with 135,000 registered users. Wyless will support FollowUs by providing reliable wireless connectivity and the Wyless Management Platform for visibility and control of SIMs and connections. FollowUs’ unique, flexible packages, which include Pay as You Go options, give customers – both business and home users – the freedom of not being tied into lengthy contracts. This is accommodated by Wyless’ provision of a pool of IP addresses for FollowUs that can be assigned and re-assigned to customers quickly and easily, and is also supported by the variety of billing options and unique billing functionality that forms part of the Wyless Management Platform.
“We required a service that provided value for money in terms of connectivity, but which also allowed us to control our wireless network more efficiently,” said Kevin Brown, Managing Director of FollowUs. “By using the Wyless Network and Management Platform, we’re now able to pass on cost and service benefits to our customers.”
Wyless enables organisations to outsource the management of their wireless networks to lower security risks, costs and complexities, whilst gaining control over connections using the unique online Wyless Management Platform. The reliability and flexibility of Wyless’ Managed Services has made deployment of this fleet of tracking devices quick and simple, and the Wyless SIM will now be used in FollowUs’ new and pioneering healthcare solution to allow tracking of people with illnesses such as dementia.
Paul Smith, CEO of Wyless added, “This new contract is an excellent addition to the Wyless portfolio, and we’re delighted to be part of such an innovative solution.”
