Longview Advantage and Partners Work together to Support Juvenile Diabetes

Words: Bobby StraderLongview Advantage, SkyWave Mobile Communications and Kore Telematics combined forces to support the H2V relay team who cycled across Canada to raise money for Juvenile Diabetes.

The Coast to Coast relay started off on the shores of Black Rock Beach in Halifax on September 14 and continue for 24 hours a day until the team arrived in Stanley Park, Vancouver, 9 days later on September 22. The team had the collective goal of raising $1 million to donate to Juvenile Diabetes research.

The H2V vehicle had been outfitted with SkyWave’s SureLinx 8100 terminal, a dependable, dual-mode cellular/satellite GPS tracking device, and uses free cellular network airtime provided by Kore Telematics. Automatically switching between networks as required, SkyWave’s dual-mode terminal provided ubiquitous coverage of the cyclist’s journey across Canada as they traveled in and out of cellular and satellite coverage areas.

“Longview Advantage is a pioneer in the fleet management and asset tracking industry in North America,” says Alain Nicolle, North American Sales Director for SkyWave. “SkyWave is pleased to support their consumer, commercial and this goodwill application with our reliable, cost-effective satellite products and network services.”

Cyclist location data was sent to the Longview Advantage application server and displayed over the Internet, giving relay supporters and their families the ability to pinpoint the cyclists on a map at the exact location along their journey. Providing this unique blend of leading edge technology for the benefit of the supporters and families also provided all three companies with unique chance to map the network coverage across Canada.

“Working with telematics industry leaders such as Kore and SkyWave ensures our applications have the best combination of low-cost and dependable coverage across the country, regardless of location,” says Bill Quinney, President of Longview Advantage. “This partnership confirms that business can work together to help provide creative services for the benefit of the broader volunteer community. We are proud to be able to contribute in this small way by supporting this important cause and we wish the H2V team the very best in achieving their goal.”
