Aeris-Ready Versions Reduce Time-to-Market Process for M2M and Telematics Applications
San Jose, Calif. - March 26, 2008 - Aeris® Communications, the leading wireless communications service provider dedicated exclusively to the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and telematics marketplace across North America, and Wavecom, the worldwide leader in embedded industrial wireless communication solutions for automotive, machine-to-machine and mobile professional applications, today announced the availability of Aeris network-ready versions of the Wavecom CM52 and Q2438 Wireless CPU® devices.
Aeris has verified the set of parameters that enable a Wavecom CDMA Wireless CPU® to operate over the Aeris network throughout North America. Wavecom can now preload the Aeris network information into the Q2438 and CM52 Wireless CPU® devices during their production. These Aeris-provisioned products may be ordered from Wavecom or from any Wavecom distributor.
“The availability of Aeris versions of the Wavecom Wireless CPU® devices is another example of Aeris's relentless commitment to help our customers deploy applications faster – saving them time and valuable resources," said Chris Purpura, senior vice president of marketing at Aeris. "Provisioning, testing and launching devices on the Aeris network is easier than ever now as the process is streamlined for commercial telematics applications."
"As part of our ongoing commitment to CDMA, we are pleased to partner with Aeris to provide smart wireless solutions to our M2M and automotive customers," said Stefan Lindvall, group vice president and head of the Americas region for Wavecom. "By enabling connectivity to the Aeris network 'out-of-the-box', we expect our shared customers to significantly reduce their time to market."
Certified for the Aeris Digital Network—1XRTT, SMSDirect and Voice Services, the Q2438 Wireless CPU® allows customers to equip applications with CDMA2000® 1xRTT technology. With integrated gpsOne®, the Q2438 is particularly suited for fleet management and tracking applications. It is also ideal for fixed location telemetry applications such as Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and tank monitoring solutions.
In addition, the CM52 Wireless CPU supports automotive manufacturing and certification, but may also be used for any applications that have to hold up under extreme conditions. The modules are resistant to shock, vibration and extreme temperatures. The CM52 is certified for the Aeris Digital Network—1XRTT, SMSDirect™, Voice and Digital MicroBurst® Services.
