Under the partnership, Novatel Wireless is supplying QVIS with a feature-rich out of the box-ready telematics solution which includes the MiFi® Drive model MT 3060, events reporting software, and airtime. The new offering enables QVIS to add a new line of service with recurring revenue to their business model, with mobile tracking solutions optimized for both usage based insurance and fleet management servicing consumers, commercial businesses, and government fleets.
"Novatel Wireless was quickly identified as having best, most versatile offering on the market," said Darryl Froome, Account Manager of QVIS LTD.

Novatel Wireless delivers a compelling proposition with best in class technology, managed services and support, and airtime in one tight bundle.

With the software, the customer is empowered to run a series of real-time reports based on customized events, such as location, driver behaviour, and vehicle diagnostics. QVIS offers the service via a monthly fee to their business customers.
