Chinese wireless module maker Fibocom and Australian IoT hardware specialist Digital Matter have expanded their collaboration to accelerate asset tracking deployments globally.

Multiple Digital Matter asset tracking devices have embedded Fibocom’s LE271-GL modules, bringing reliable cellular connectivity to Australia, New Zealand and global markets and supporting mobile asset visibility, remote status monitoring and scalable IoT deployments.

In logistics and industrial asset management, the core challenge is to capture trusted data across long-distance, long-cycle and low-maintenance deployments. Tracking devices need stable connectivity in complex environments to transmit location, status and exception data to business systems, supporting dispatch, inventory, traceability and risk management.

Digital Matter focuses on low-power IoT hardware designed for battery life, durability, easy installation and remote device management.

The LE271-GL module provides a connectivity foundation for battery-powered tracking devices, with low power consumption, global coverage and a compact design. Fibocom’s local Australia and New Zealand team also provides responsive service support, backed by global R&D, product and delivery resources to help users accelerate integration validation and scalable rollout.

Through this collaboration, LE271-GL will be used across several of Digital Matter’s portable GPS trackers, cellular asset tags and package-level tracking devices. Combined with multi-source positioning, condition monitoring and alert capabilities, these devices help users improve asset visibility while reducing on-site maintenance and operational losses.

“Our collaboration with Digital Matter brings reliable connectivity and deployment expertise closer together,” said Ronald Chan, vice president at Fibocom (www.fibocom.com). “With low-power module design, global network adaptation and AIoT capabilities, Fibocom will support Digital Matter in expanding its asset tracking portfolio and serving scalable deployment needs across ANZ and global markets.”

Matthew Clark-Massera, head of product at Digital Matter (www.digitalmatter.com), added: “Digital Matter focuses on building reliable, rugged and easy-to-deploy low-power IoT hardware that helps businesses connect and protect critical assets. Fibocom’s combined strengths in low-power connectivity, global network coverage and local ANZ support backed by global technical resources provide greater certainty for our asset tracking portfolio.”
