Wavecom, a developer and marketer of embedded wireless communication platforms for automotive, industrial (machine-to-machine) and mobile professional applications, has launched the first in a family of 'wireless microprocessors' with built-in wireless communications capability.
The wireless microprocessor combines high performance embedded processing and wireless connectivity in a single surface-mount component. In combination with Wavecom's Open AT software suite the company says that it provides the lowest total cost of ownership for any industrial wireless machine by reducing the overall number of components and shortening time-to-market. Using Open AT software, developers can easily create machine-to-machine applications in C language, that can also be maintained remotely, over-the-air, throughout their lifetime. Open AT OS also allows developers to execute their program natively, without the need to interpret code, requiring a minimum memory footprint and processor resource overhead.
Commenting on this new offer, Ron Black, Wavecom CEO stated, "With the introduction of our wireless microprocessor we continue to demonstrate our capacity to innovate and set new standards for addressing the industrial wireless market. We have come a long way from our simple bit-pipe modems in the early days of industrial wireless technology - our products have evolved to powerful, programmable processors packed with sophisticated software dedicated to embedded applications."
Wavecom's first unit in the family has an ARM 946 core. With the use of Open AT Software, this realtime processor core offers programmable power consumption modes that provide developers with high flexibility in both battery consumption and processing power scalability. Using the Open AT integrated development environment, developers have access to central application processing, integrated cellular voice, data, wireless Internet connectivity, and numerous external interfaces for processor interrupts and connection to a wide range of peripherals such as: USB, RS232, GPIO, parallel port, SPI, I²C, ADC, keyboard, analog and digital audio. They can also integrate companion technologies such as Bluetooth and GPS by using one of the standard external busses, thereby further reducing overall costs.
