From a fleet tracking startup to an award-winning IoT platform serving businesses on four continents. We've been building this for a long time, and we're just getting started.
Nova Mobile Systems was founded in 2008 in Carlsbad, California by George Ecker. What started as a straightforward fleet tracking company grew into something much bigger as the IoT landscape evolved.
George saw early on that fleet managers didn't just need dots on a map. They needed actionable intelligence: fuel usage data, driver behavior analytics, environmental monitoring, video evidence, and compliance reporting. So that's what we built.
Today, Nova's platform spans GPS tracking, AI-powered video, remote asset monitoring, and industrial IoT sensors. We serve transportation companies, construction firms, energy providers, agricultural operations, and government agencies across four continents. Every device we sell, every feature we build, starts with the same question: does this solve a real problem for the people actually using it?
"Make IoT accessible for every business, from 5 vehicles to 5,000 assets."
IoT shouldn't require a dedicated IT team or a six-figure budget. We build technology that's simple to deploy, easy to understand, and priced for real businesses... not just enterprise contracts.
Our carrier partnerships and technology alliances mean better coverage, better pricing, and better support for every customer.
Multi-carrier SIM management and automatic network switching. KORE's global connectivity platform powers our carrier-agnostic approach across AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon.
Featured partner on T-Mobile's IoT Marketplace. First provider to certify NB-IoT devices on T-Mobile's network, enabling ultra-low-power asset tracking nationwide.
Our devices ship with multi-carrier SIM technology. When one network is weak or down, the device automatically switches to the strongest available carrier. Zero configuration needed.
