SWEDISH FIRMS SIGN TRACKING ACCORD
Satsafe, Nokia and Europolitan AB, three Swedish e-commerce facilitators, have signed a partnership agreement to market a short messaging service (SMS) solution to track and position trucks and containers in transit.
The new Satsafe platform combines a global positioning system (GPS) with wireless networks such as GSM (global system for mobile communications) in Europe and PCS (personal communications system) in the United States.
Europolitan AB’s GSM network supports customers using the Satsafe platform, with Nokia’s software providing invoicing, traffic planning, and condition of the goods being shipped.
