August 2023 Release notes

New Digital Matter connector

We’re excited to announce that we’ve just released the new and improved connector between Digital Matter and ALSO IoT Platform!

The new connector brings cool new features and tech improvements:

• We now support Digital Matter Edge devices, which offer unparalleled location tracking capabilities using GNSS (GPS/BeiDou), Wi-Fi AP MAC Address Scanning, and Cell Tower location for indoor/outdoor asset management
• Besides most used sensory data we’ve been supporting like location, location accuracy, speed and altitude, we’ve now unlocked basically all data which Digital Matter send, including Trip distance and duration, Odometer data, analog and digital inputs and outputs, as well as extracting all metadata such as ICCID
• The new connector enhances the performance of data ingestion from Digital Matter towards ALSO IoT Platform by at least 28 times! This means instant and fully reliable communication between devices and the IoT platform, providing a better overall user experience for you guys.

Keep your eyes peeled for the new Digital Matter devices in our device catalog during September.
