The goal is to simplify the process of procuring telemetry solutions for railcar owners who want to be part of the RailPulse community, not to generate profit for RailPulse. The decision to select Nexxiot as a reseller partner was based on their successful participation in the RailPulse pilot program, in which their telematics solutions where tested and validated for use in the North American rail industry. The accuracy and reliability of Nexxiot’s sensors and gateways, as well as their seamless integration with the RailPulse platform, were impressive. Nexxiot has proven to be a valuable and trusted partner, and the agreement further enables them to deliver products and services to the RailPulse customers. Nexxiot is the first telemetry vendor that RailPulse is offering through this type of reseller program, as it aims to create a vendor-neutral and open-architecture railcar telematics infrastructure that spans the entire North American freight rail industry. The reseller program is entirely optional for both the telemetry vendor community and the railcar owners who wish to join RailPulse.
