| EDGE |
Enhanced Data rates for GSM Environment (EDGE) is a digital mobile phone technology that allows increased data transmission rates and improved data transmission reliability. |
| EVDO or EV-DO |
EVDO, short for "Evolution, Data Only" or "Evolution, Data Optimized", is a standard for high speed wireless broadband in CDMA networks. |
| GPRS |
GPRS, or General Packet Radio Service, is a packet-based wireless communication service that delivers data rates up to 114 Kbps and continuous connection to the Internet for mobile phones, devices, and computers on GSM networks. |
| M2M |
M2M is an acronym for Machine-to-Machine communications using CDMA or GSM wireless technologies. This technology is increasingly used in the security and surveillance, telematics, transportation, and utilities industries. |
| M2M Applications |
M2M supports many applications in vertical markets such as utilities, telematics, transportation and security and alarm. |
| M2M Communications |
M2M Communications is an acronym for Machine-to-Machine communications using CDMA or GSM wireless technologies. This technology is increasingly used in the utilities, telematics, transportation, and security and alarm industries. |
| M2M Experts |
M2M Experts are companies that provide services to make the customer's M2M experience as seamless as possible. Custom network infrastructure is designed and developed to provide QoS routing, lower latency, and custom network solutions. Provisioning and billing systems are customized to M2M applications, thus making deployment faster, simpler, lower cost and easier to manage. These companies troubleshoot network level problems through support experts, including issues with devices, signals, switches, etc. |
| M2M Infrastructure |
Integrated hardware and software assets, typically possessed and managed by a centralized authority, that support M2M communications. Different components include the central network and operational center computer systems, network routers, interconnection devices and wiring centers, the underlying cellular system, and the remote device and application. |
| M2M Integration |
Preconfigured hardware modules can be integrated to enable data and voice applications for M2M and telemetry solutions in utility monitoring, fleet management, asset tracking, security and alarm reporting, wireless vending and wireless point-of-sale terminal applications, among others. Preconfigured modules provide a simplified supply chain and reduced costs, enabling M2M applications to be monitored remotely. |
| M2M Services |
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications is a very specialized form of data transmission. Effective M2M communications needs a network designed specifically to serve its unique requirements; intelligent enough to adapt to specific needs of different M2M applications and reliable enough to deliver data every time. |
| MicroBurst® |
MicroBurst is a cellular network technology offered by Aeris Communications that is designed specifically to optimize M2M (machine-to-machine) wireless control and data acquisition. |
| MMO and MVNO |
MVNO is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator. MMO is a M2M Mobile Operator. While both combine and offer network coverage from multiple cellular operators, MMOs, such as Aeris Communications, enhance the coverage and offer value-added services by utilizing their own network infrastructure. |
| Security Monitoring |
A security system process that utilizes cellular technologies to remotely monitor commercial and residential alarm systems in real-time and notify a control center as soon as an incident occurs. |
| SMS |
SMS, an acronym for Short Message Service, is a process to send short data messages to and from mobile phones and devices. |
| SMSDirect™ |
