Telit Presents the Latest Generation of m2m Modules at GSM Mobile World Congress 2008
RALEIGH, N.C. --(Business Wire)-- Telit Wireless Solutions, Inc., the U.S.-based m2m mobile technology arm of Telit Communications (AIM:TCM), is presenting its latest products and services at stand 1G31, hall 1 at GSM Mobile World Congress 2008 in Barcelona. In addition to the new over-the-air software update service (FOTA), the trade fair highlights include a wide range of module innovations. Telit will showcase the UC864 UMTS/HSPDA module with 7.2 Mbit/s, the GE863-PRO(3), the world's only dual CPU m2m module with additional ARM9 processor, and the GE863-SIM with an integrated SIM card at the trade show. Live demos by global device manufacturers from different industries will give trade show visitors the opportunity to learn about m2m applications.
"3GSM is one of our most important global trade shows, and we are rolling out exciting new technology, as well as highlighting some of our latest and greatest customer applications," explains Roger Dewey, President & CEO of Telit Wireless Solutions. "Show visitors can get an inside view of how m2m communications is changing the way several industries conduct business."
Firmware-over-the-air update
As a trade show highlight, Telit is presenting its new FOTA service (firmware-over-the-air) that enables Telit customers to update the software of the integrated m2m modules as required. FOTA makes m2m much more stable and above all more secure. For example, it enables customers to respond quickly to changes in mobile networks. If Telit performs optimizations to its module software, these can be transferred immediately to the Telit modules of the customer applications via the remote software update. Even if users create their own module-independent software update for their application, they can install this using FOTA.
The basis for this service is a special FOTA server which handles the software updates. Customers sign a service agreement for this purpose and register their Telit modules on the server. The modules are then automatically supplied with software updates. Users benefit primarily from the fact that they do not need to configure any servers of their own, saving considerable expense.
At 3GSM, customers have the chance to experience a live demo showing how a software package is transferred and updated using FOTA.
UC864-E for high transfer rates
Additionally, Telit is presenting the latest generation of m2m modules, including the UC864-E UMTS/HSPDA module which will be available worldwide in January 2008. The UC864-E enables extremely fast data transfer up to 7.2 Mbit/s at 2100 MHz making it one of the most powerful m2m modules worldwide.
The EDGE and GSM/GPRS quad-band-compatible module has the same form factor and identical mechanical and software interfaces as the other products in the GSM/GPRS-based GC864 series and the CDMA 1xRTT-based CC864-DUAL series. Telit will also present the UC864-K which has the special licenses required for the Korean market. The UC864-G with worldwide tri-band frequency coverage in the UMTS band will also be featured. It combines slightly modified external dimensions with optimum mechanical compatibility.
Users can integrate Telit's UC modules into existing GC and CC-based GSM/GPRS and CDMA designs with minimum integration and adaptation requirements. Trade show visitors can see a live demonstration of how the module works at the Telit booth.
GE863-PRO(3) high-performance module
Telit will also feature the latest modules in the GE863 series, the GE863-SIM and the GE863-PRO(3). The GE863-PRO(3) is currently one of the key products in the Telit module portfolio. It is going to market by the end of 2007. In addition to the module processor, the GSM/GPRS quad-band module has a powerful ARM9 processor from Atmel. It gives software applications complete access to the CPU, while the GPRS processor takes care of time-critical communication tasks. The module supports Python and C++ programming languages. With the GE863-PRO(3), the user's own involvement in the development of a complex m2m application is significantly reduced. At the trade show booth, visitors can find out about the various possible applications, features and interfaces of the module and the software tools.
M2M up close
Visitors can learn more about the diverse applications of m2m first hand from five important Telit customers each presenting their applications on small presentation islands. The co-exhibitors include Automated Meter Reading (AMR) specialist ASL (Great Britain). Xirgo (USA) and CROW (Israel) will be representing the security industry, and the French company Masternaut will present its fleet management applications. Services for Electronic Manufacturing (SEM) from Italy will be demonstrating a small tracking and tracing device and its applications in the B2B and consumer sectors.
"The live demonstrations of our customers give trade show visitors the opportunity to experience first hand the practical applications and therefore the benefits of the m2m devices," said Alexander Bufalino, VP Global Marketing, Telit Wireless Solutions.
