Telstra inks $23 million M2M contract with Komatsu
Telstra has announced that it will continue to partner with leading mining and construction equipment manufacturer Komatsu to facilitate the future of Komatsu’s ICT and machine to machine (M2M) strategy in a whole-of-business deal worth $23 million over the next three years.
Building on a 15-year relationship, Telstra will provide the core telecommunications (voice, data and mobile) and strategic ICT services (M2M and agile cloud technologies) that help Komatsu remain at the forefront of innovation.
As part of the deal, Komatsu will build on a recent trial of M2M connectivity, which enabled a ‘zero touch’ remote download of performance diagnostic data from more than 700 pieces of Komatsu equipment on mine sites. Being able to access this data from the Komatsu inSite Centre in Fairfield, Sydney, in real time, negated the need to remove the equipment from use while the data was downloaded, resulting in improved fleet and production efficiency for Komatsu’s customers.
