Close WindowSAN JOSE, Calif. | May 2, 2000 —Aeris.net, the premier network for fixed and mobile telemetry messaging, announces that Wireless Link Corporation has developed a new generation of MicroBurst communications products. The CVDM-3 cellular data radio is a sophisticated 3-watt modem designed for original equipment manufacturers' (OEMs) applications, including command and control, home security, consumer telematics, and fleet and asset management.
"Aeris has facilitated the development of low-cost data solutions over public cellular networks," said Dan Goehl, Director of Sales and Marketing for Wireless Link Corporation. "Having developed the first MicroBurst prototype radio, Wireless Link will continue to design and manufacture highly integrated communications solutions based on the Aeris MicroBurst protocol. Part of Wireless Link's strategy is to create core communications products like the CVDM-3, addressing all the critical factors required to proliferate MicroBurst in these target markets. The CVDM-3 protocol is scalable so applications can adapt to changes in the marketplace and take full advantage of Aeris's MicroBurst network."
"Aeris.net welcomes Wireless Link's newest offering designed to support the large number of applications currently utilizing the MicroBurst network," said Wade Vesey, Vice President of Sales and Marketing of Aeris.net. "Wireless Link has a reputation as a leading manufacturer of high quality radio modems and application solutions."
MicroBurst technology is a proprietary utility that enables short data packets to be transmitted over control channels in cellular networks using standard IS-41C signaling mechanisms. These short data packets are transmitted by cellular devices and are routed to the Aeris central hub facility over existing SS7 (Signaling System 7) networks. The Aeris hub identifies the service provider, the ultimate recipient for the data, and routes the data for delivery via one of several available back-end links, which include Internet, dial-up and dedicated connectivity.
MicroBurst technology provides ubiquity of service and the lowest possible cost structure. All data distribution is handled by Aeris' central clearinghouse facility. This distribution strategy makes MicroBurst technology fully mobile and enables all MicroBurst devices to roam throughout the North, South and Central America.
Founded in 1987 and located in Silicon Valley, Wireless Link provides innovative, cost-effective, wireless and GPS communications products for mobile and fixed asset management in both commercial and consumer markets. Wireless Link owns a number of patents and intellectual property for a variety of wireless networks and the company has licensed its cellular technology to numerous handset and chipset manufacturers.
