This follows a recent investment in the advanced Skyline GPS satellite tracking, security and telematics system from Enigma Vehicle Systems - equipped with a du enterprise data-only SIM card by a reputed car rental firm. Enigma Vehicle Systems has equipped 1000 vehicles with du mobile telemetry data-only SIM cards - utilizing 1GB shared data pool per month - and Enigma's Skyline V6.0 system.

Enigma Vehicle Systems' staff in Dubai was contacted by a customer, a reputed car rental firm in the UAE, to advise that a vehicle was overdue for return and presumed stolen. By using the system's detailed satellite mapping within Skyline V6.0 and du's mobile telemetry roaming services, Enigma was able to trace the vehicle and the customer. The Skyline maps and data services from du allowed the Police, in collaboration with Interpol to precisely locate and subsequently impound the vehicle.

Farid Faraidooni, EVP Commercial, du, said; "We are proving that innovative and state-of-the-art technology can make a real difference in people's lives. Our mobile telemetry roaming services are not just useful for fleet management companies to track both their movable and immovable assets but also an example of how du adeptly applies technology to delivers expert solutions to business customers across a variety of industry verticals."

Mobile Telemetry solutions from du enable machine to machine data communication with an automated exchange of business critical data over the du wireless network. By ensuring a secure and uninterrupted flow of information, mobile telemetry solutions from du help businesses enhance the reliability of their operations, increase work efficiency and reduce running costs.

The Skyline V6.0 system equipped with du telemetry services can be used on any rental vehicle and all types of construction site equipment from excavators, compressors and dumpers to generators, forklift trucks, traffic light sets and powered access platforms. The major target markets for Skyline Enigma and du include plant hire, contractor fleets; commercial vehicle fleet; building supplies, waste management and service engineering.

By enabling automated business processes, mobile telemetry solutions from du have a wide range of use for key business verticals such as transportation, utilities, oil and gas and others.

Additionally, users can request positions, add zones around equipment and vehicles (for additional theft protection) and monitor hours used (per rental or accumulatively). The technology can also act as a trigger mechanism, sending text/email alerts and automated email reports on vehicle movements if assets have crossed state boundaries or international borders, or run out of fuel. All these features work seamlessly on du data SIMs with telemetry and data services - enabled not only in the UAE, but also overseas.

Ian Keam-George, chief executive of Enigma Vehicle Systems PLC and general manager of the UAE office, commented, "du has proven to be a great choice for our UAE operations with a robust network, competitive pricing and outstanding customer support. We have been supplying GPS vehicle tracking systems for over 10 years and have a global market within our 30,000 customer base. During that time we have established mobile data deals with many GSM providers in the UK & Europe. We cannot praise enough their efforts to support our mutual customers more highly."
