Sherlock will use Orange embedded SIM cards in its invisible IoT
anti-theft solution for bicycles, which is currently being rolled
out in Europe and North America. The aftermarket solution
incorporates a small anti-theft device, which is designed to be
hidden into the handlebars of any bicycle, and a mobile app. The
device integrates a GPS module for localization, a GPRS module for
Internet connectivity and low-energy Bluetooth. It comes with two
years of network connectivity included in the purchase price.
Once installed, the device is virtually impossible for a thief
to detect and does not alter the design of the bike. It also works
as a unique identifier for the bicycle thanks to its “bike
passport”. This digital document was designed by working closely
with the Turin City Police and contains all the elements needed to
prove ownership of the bike.
When the device is activated via Bluetooth, the owner receives a
real-time notification on their smartphone should the bike be moved
or tampered with. They can also track the location of the bike at
any time, and provide the authorities temporary access to the
information via a unique tracking code.
Robust, reliable connectivityThe anti-theft devices are
sold direct to consumers who activate them with the mobile app for
quick and easy installation on their bikes. The Orange SIM cards
are installed in the devices at the production stage and tested
before shipping. The worldwide connectivity provided by Orange
means that the security device works out-of-the-box, roaming
different networks for a suitable connection.
“The idea of Sherlock was born after experiencing bike theft
first-hand. Sherlock establishes a direct connection between the
bicycle and its owner, giving the bicycle a voice to shout for
help. Orange Business Services will help us provide cyclists with
the peace of mind they deserve thanks to its robust, reliable
connectivity, which is available seamlessly worldwide,” says
Pierluigi Freni, CEO at Sherlock.
“In recent years, cycling has boomed in popularity, and this has
led to growth in the premium bike market. Cars have had anti-theft
devices for many years, but until now, the bike industry was
lagging behind. With Sherlock, cyclists no longer need to worry
about having an expensive bike stolen. The Orange collaboration
with Sherlock proves how digital transformation can be a disruptive
force, creating new services that respond to people’s changing
needs and expectations,” Fabrice de Windt, senior vice president,
Europe, at Orange Business Services.
