The benefits of KPN IoT Mobility

Fewer Defects

Defects in a vehicle lead to frustrations and dissatisfied customers. Preventive maintenance can prevent such defects. Sensor data, for instance, provides information on the number of miles driven and therefore give an insight into part wear. That enables parts to be replaced in good time. The user and the service partner get a notification when maintenance is needed. If there are technical problems, the cause can be found quickly and remotely.

In connection with the customer

Contact with a manufacturer is generally on only one occasion: at the moment of purchase. Smart analyses of vehicle data offer several benefits. They enable manufacturers to strengthen the relationship with customers by offering service and maintenance at the right moments and by giving timely advice on replacing the vehicle.

Information enhances ease of use

IoT gives more insights, enhancing ease of use in many different ways. Where exactly is the vehicle located? What is the range of the vehicle with the present battery level? How long will it take to recharge the battery? And how many miles has the customer driven and at what speeds? With connected vehicles all this information can be displayed, on the dashboard or on an app independent of the vehicle.

More efficient use of assets and staff

Fleet operators want to get the best possible returns from their assets. Reliable location data enables delivery bikes, shared scooters and other business assets to be used as efficiently as possible. Internet-connected vehicles can provide that reliable data.

Rapid detection

Hypercar, electric car, smart bus, bike or mobility scooter stolen? Vehicles with a transmitter are generally found again very quickly. That is not only good news for the victim but it also has a positive effect on insurance premiums. In addition, a “tracking transmitter” scares off potential thieves. Especially if it’s known that a brand or type of vehicle is connected.

Automatic alerts

All new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles have to be fitted with Emergency Call. After an accident, eCall makes contact automatically with the emergency response center 112 and passes on details such as the exact location and the number of vehicle occupants. The emergency services are therefore better prepared and can arrive more quickly. Reliable connectivity is a prerequisite for this.

How our customers use IoT: use cases

Stella Zorgeloos Fietsen
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 09
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.

Connected Scooter BE071
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.

Dott visual
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.

Frequently Asked Questions about IoT in Automotive & Mobility

Frequently Asked Questions about IoT in Automotive & Mobility

The price depends on elements such as the type of connectivity, the type and number of SIM cards and the service supplied. We supply both complete IoT applications and the individual components. These include the hardware, the connectivity and the application, as well as the platform for developing and administering IoT solutions.

We have agreements with more than 600 roaming partners all over the world. So we can offer optimal coverage everywhere. We connect with our roaming partners on the basis of non-steered roaming. That means that we always make the connection with the best network available, not on the basis of costs or arrangements. You are therefore assured of a stable connection for your IoT application.

A connection is needed to send the data to the right place. At KPN IoT you can choose from various types of connectivity, such as 4G, 5G, LTE-M and LoRa. The type of connection best suited to your application depends on the volume of data, the energy consumption, and the frequency with which you transmit data.

Every vehicle that contains a form of vehicle management can be made connected. Standard solutions are already available via KPN IoT for many types of vehicle and, if your vehicle is not one of them, KPN IoT is able to develop a solution for it.
