Drive Efficiency, Safety, and Reliability in Modern Transportation and Logistics

Whether your goal is to optimize battery health, reduce idling, ensure cargo integrity, or monitor brake temperature, Blues helps you deploy faster, generate new business impact, and create happy customers.

Three Critical Challenges for Smart Connected Products in Transportation and Logistics

Your products don't sit still. They move through harsh environments, unpredictable conditions, and high-stakes situations. Connected solutions for T&L have to be built differently — and that's exactly what we do.

  • Patchy Network Coverage

    Devices must maintain reliable connectivity as vehicles travel from urban areas with strong cellular coverage to remote regions that can sometimes have limited infrastructure. Seamless roaming and fallback across networks, wireless technologies, and geographies is essential.

  • Unreliable Power

    Many connected products for Transportation and Logistics must operate where power is limited, intermittent, or completely unavailable. Prolonged running on energy scavenged when available becomes a core technical requirement, making ultra low power design a must.

  • Field Deployed Assets

    Connected products deployed in Transportation and Logistics are usually widely dispersed in harsh conditions, making it difficult to maintain or upgrade them when problems are identified or requirements change. Having to wait for assets to return home for service isn’t an option.

Purpose-Built for Transportation and Logistics

Blues enables you to deploy with confidence, knowing your smart connected products will perform reliably wherever your customer’s fleet operates.

  • Maintain Continuous Visibility

      With Blues' multi-RAT connectivity, your connected products automatically switch between cellular and satellite to maintain uninterrupted visibility. Ensure cargo integrity, deliver accurate ETAs, and respond immediately to impending equipment failures—wherever your customer’s fleet operates.

  • Designed for the field

      Blues’ ultra low power design lets your connected product operate reliably in challenging power environments. Our secure, three-tier OTA updates let you upgrade as needed, minimizing costly service in the field. Reduce total cost of ownership and avoid the expense of premature hardware refreshes.

  • Seamless Global Coverage

      Blues connects your products across 140+ countries without carrier negotiations, multiple SIM cards, or complex roaming agreements. Deploy once and operate everywhere, maintaining uninterrupted data flow for your customers' international operations.

Our Notecard Cellular is an ultra-low-power, plug-and-play module designed for long battery life and global coverage. It includes 10 years of data and 500MB of usage with no monthly fees or contracts. Perfect for remote, embedded, or battery-operated IoT deployments.

Custom modules like the Notecard XP are also available for large scale deployments and help reduce total bill of materials by using only components your application requires.

Yes! Every Notecard includes 500MB of bundled data that’s good for up to 10 years and has no contracts and no subscriptions. You get predictable pricing and complete cost control, even at scale. Visit our Pricing page to learn more.

Blues handles security for you. Notecards include built-in ECC certificates and use encrypted, off-internet communications to send data to Notehub. You don’t need to manage credentials or certificate renewal.

Blues offers a full ecosystem of Notecards for easy connectivity, and Notecarriers for easy prototyping. We also offer design support through our Design Review Program. Whether you’re building a prototype or scaling to thousands of devices, Blues can help streamline the entire development lifecycle.

Yes. With Starnote for Skylo or Notecard for Skylo, Blues enables satellite connectivity via Skylo for global fallback or primary communication. It’s fully integrated into our API and Notehub so you can switch from cellular to satellite with little or no code changes.

Notehub supports secure, bi-directional routing to leading cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake, and more, with all data encrypted end-to-end. To learn more, view our detailed documentation here.

Yes! Our family of Notecard modules support the four main different communication modes: cellularWiFisatellite, and LoRa. All of them use the same developer-friendly API so you can switch Notecards without needing to rewrite your application code. Some of our Notecards even support multiple communication modes like our Notecard Cell+WiFi and Notecard for Skylo.

With Notehub, you get built-in fleet management tools: real-time overviews, location mapping, alerts, OTA firmware updates, and device diagnostics. It works at any scale, securely and efficiently.

Through our Design Review and Proof of Concept (PoC) programs, Blues can provide suggestions and feedback for product design, firmware consulting, and manufacturing guidance to help you go from idea to production faster and more cost-effectively.

We also have built a catalog of trusted partners who are skilled experts ready to help you build your connected devices.
