ROCHELLE PARK, NJ, July 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ORBCOMM Inc. (Nasdaq: ORBC), a global provider of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, today announced that it has expanded its long-standing agreement with Terex Corporation (Terex), and extended the service term of ORBCOMMs factory installed telematics solution to its customers. As part of the agreement, ORBCOMM and Terex will also collaborate on continued technology innovation for ORBCOMMs industry-leading heavy equipment IoT device and cloud-based data reporting and analytics platform.

Through this enhanced agreement, Terex will extend its commitment to its customer base for their use of ORBCOMMs telematics system for seven years, with an automatic renewal for four additional years. By extending contracts, Terex will drive its continued growth and broaden its telematics offering to satisfy dealers and end-user customers as their needs shift in the future. Terex will offer ORBCOMMs telematics system as standard across several different brands in Terex, including Powerscreen Terex Finlay, CBI, Terex Ecotec and EvoQuip.

Terex will also migrate to ORBCOMMs next generation OEM platform, FleetEdge 4, which has been customized to meet their specific needs for easily monitoring various types of heavy machinery, increasing operational efficiency and providing significant cost savings to Terexs customers. ORBCOMMs FleetEdge 4 platform features an improved user experience with incremental key features, including dynamic dashboards, filters and custom reports, enabling fleet managers to gain deeper insight into how their machines and entire fleets are performing. By accessing increased data and utilizing the platforms advanced analytics, Terex customers can more effectively manage preventive maintenance, optimize fuel consumption and increase asset utilization. ORBCOMM will continue to develop the FleetEdge platform to support Terexs future needs, including expanded machine data collection and more robust analytics.

As part of their long-term investment in ORBCOMMs IoT technology, Terex will offer factory installed deployment of ORBCOMMs new global telematics device on its heavy machinery, ensuring that Terexs equipment can operate anywhere in the world for years to come. In addition to providing connectivity on global LTE bands, ORBCOMMs dual-mode device provides seamless fallback to multi-band 3G and 2G networks if 4G is not available, and to satellite when out of cellular coverage, which greatly simplifies logistics and distribution and lowers the cost of global deployments for Terex. Terex will standardize ORBCOMMs global IoT device across a number of their telematics-enabled machines.

ORBCOMMs enhanced agreement with Terex solidifies their commitment to their heavy machinery customers around the world by leveraging our best-in-class, dual-mode IoT technology, said Marc Eisenberg, ORBCOMMs Chief Executive Officer. The unique combination of our global telematics device and next-generation data reporting and analytics platform customized for Terex enables customers to track, monitor and control their assets seamlessly into the future.
