Bluesmart Partners with Telef\u00f3nica to offer 3G enabled Luggage Global Location Tracking<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Bluesmart, the world\u2019s first smart, connected luggage company, and operator, Telef\u00f3nica, have announced an exclusive partnership to provide Machine-to-Machine (M2M) connectivity and location tracking for the Bluesmart Connected Carryon, which is now being demonstrated in the Innovation City.
\nThanks to the partnership Bluesmart will be able to include inside of their luggage a Telef\u00f3nica powered SIM card. Through\u00a0Telef\u00f3nica M2M network, Bluesmart will be able to track the location of their smart suitcases anywhere in the world where\u00a0Telef\u00f3nica has coverage. The M2M technology has also been utilized in Tesla\u2019s latest development of connected cars. Through direct coverage and roaming agreements\u00a0Telef\u00f3nica covers the entire connected world.

\nThe Bluesmart Carryon can be tracked anywhere in the world, powered by 3Gconnectivity, allowing users to recover their lost bags from the airlines. Additionally the suitcase features a Bluetooth enabled remote lock that let users lock and and unlock their bags from their smartphone, and that locks automatically when the bag is separated from the user, providing maximum safety to the users\u2019 belongings. The suitcase also features a built in battery charger, letting users recharge their smartphones on the go up to six times over. Finally the suitcase features a built in scale that communicates the exact weight of the suitcase to the companion app, helping users avoid paying extra baggage fees or being forced to check for extra weight. Through the companion app users can track their miles travelled and get smart trip notifications.
\nThe Partnership again underscores the huge role that mobile network operators have in shaping the future of M2M and the IoT by providing connectivity to a range of simple, everyday objects to give them enhanced functionality. The Bluesmart suitcase is now showcasing in the Innovation City alongside a host of other state-of-the-art products and services. We encourage everyone at MWC to visit and witness first-hand, the benefits of connected life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
