KORE Telematics Honored as an Enabler for Multiple 2009 M2M Magazine Value Chain Awards

"Those involved in M2M are facing a pivotal time in the industry's growth. There are now millions of machines communicating with each other. However, there are still millions that do not," said Peggy Smedley, editorial director, M2M magazine. "It won't be long until other companies see the value and take advantage of the opportunity that can come from implementing this technology. This year's Value Chain Award winners have recognized what M2M can do for them in both a wired and wireless world, and they are now being honored for that insight."

KORE and the other winners were announced at the 2009 Value Chain Awards ceremony in Chicago. The formal black-tie dinner and awards event is part of the fifth annual M2M Connected World show, formerly know as the M2M United conference, an industry event that promotes the development, awareness and business value of machine-to-machine technology.
