How our customers use IoT: use cases
Stella: Connected e-bike
Stella, in partnership with KPN IoT and AXA-IN, has developed a connected e-bike. The internet coupling provides a host of benefits in the field of safety and cycling enjoyment. So users don’t need to be concerned about issues such as theft and emergency assistance. The connectivity ensures that Stella is permanently connected with its customers.
Brekr: Connected moped
The moped of the future comes from the Netherlands. In little more than 18 months a start-up there developed the Brekr, a connected electric moped. KPN IoT has made the Brekr connected. An app provides data that includes the journeys made, the battery level, the location and suspicious circumstances.
Invacare: Mobility scooter of the future
KPN IoT has made an electric mobility scooter connected for Invacare. This smart mobility scooter increases the mobility, independence and freedom of users. An app gives accurate information about the distance that can be driven before recharging the battery. These mobility scooters can be traced easily with the location tracker.
Connectivity for micromobility
Dott is an established vehicle-sharing service provider that is based in Amsterdam and operates throughout the EU. It provides mainly kick scooters but is moving into e-bikes and e-scooters as well. KPN’s connectivity keeps them connected in all parts of Europe, and they are future proof as well, with LTE-M as the preferred form of connectivity.
What are the possibilities for you?
Using data from a connected vehicle, manufacturers can offer custom service, maintenance and advice. And thereby strengthen the relationship with the end customer.
