CHICAGO, June 22, 2021 — Micromobility innovation leader, Veo, today announced it selected Hologram, a global cellular platform for IoT that turns connectivity into software, as its partner. Recognizing the importance of seamless global connectivity for its e-scooters, e-bikes and bikes, Veo selected Hologram’s platform for its fleet management support and its software system of record. 

“We’re thrilled to be Veo’s connectivity provider, particularly at an exciting time for micromobility where we’re seeing increasing growth and demand for these innovative e-scooters and e-bikes,” said Ben Forgan, co-founder and CEO of Hologram. “The Covid pandemic was part of the reason the micromobility trend exploded both in the United States and globally and we can expect to see more innovation and evolution in the future of transportation.”  

Hologram assists in Veo’s rapid hardware product iterating cycle akin to the agile methodology used in software to enable testing in advance. This allows Hologram’s customers to test connectivity and avoid potential roadblocks that might arise after the fleet of e-bikes or e-scooters have shipped overseas. Because Hologram has a network of more than 470 carriers in 200 countries, Veo can operate efficiently without connectivity issues or delays.  

“There’s a number of reasons we selected Hologram. As we continue our rapid growth, Hologram’s SIM cards provide us with a global solution to connect our vehicles, no matter where they are in the world,” said Candice Xie, co-founder and CEO of Veo.
