3G Sunset for Volvo Construction Equipment, worldwide

Successful migration from 3G to 4G: Volvo Construction Equipment creates seamless transition for construction equipment thanks to INOVIS.

In close cooperation between INOVIS Live Automation AG and Volvo Construction Equipment, meetings were held to search for a suitable solution. Finally, customized kits for each machine type were developed to meet Volvo Construction Equipment’s requirements. One of the biggest challenges was finding a device that was compatible with cellular frequencies around the world. This is where the extensive expertise and network of INOVIS Live Automation AG came into play.

The partnership also included cooperation with TELTONIKA for the distribution of the products. The RUT240 in the global version proved to be the optimal replacement product for the Volvo Construction Equipment machines. In addition, all the necessary installation components were individually selected and put together in a customized bundle.

Thanks to the successful cooperation between INOVIS Live Automation AG and Volvo Construction Equipment, a smooth transfer from 3G to an up-to-date mobile communications solution (LTE CAT 4 (4G)) was ensured. Volvo Construction Equipment’s customers benefited from the high quality and reliability of the new solution, while the company demonstrated its innovative strength and adaptability. This success story illustrates the importance of strategic partnerships and the ability to respond quickly to changes in the technology sector.
