Wavecom has launched its new WISMO (WIreless Standard Modem) family of entry level GSM/GPRS modems for machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. The new product line provides wireless voice and data connectivity in a compact form factor and at a competitive price, without compromising M2M industry specific requirements.
The modem is easy to get started with, thanks to Wavecom’s brand new Expresso ‘Discover & Learn’ Microsoft Windows tool that enables integrators to view the standardised AT command interface while operating the WISMO features. It is easy to integrate in existing automated or manual assembly lines, thanks to its castellation form factor which also facilitates the visual control on the manufacturing line. And it is easy to service in the field, thanks to the manual removal possibilities provided by the castellation design.
The WISMO includes Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) coverage for the GSM/GPRS standards, meaning that customers do not have to negotiate their own complex licensing agreements with essential patent holders, and they are also legally protected from any patent infringement claims from these holders.
Customer product certification is made easy thanks to pre-certification of the ‘all inclusive’ nature of the WISMO whose design includes all the hardware and software needed to perform the cellular modem function. To simplify development and certification, WISMO buyers can benefit from Wavecom’s existing range of professional services including design review, global product certification support, three different IMEI handling services, and an express delivery option.
The first product in the new WISMO family, the WISMO 218, supports multibearer (GSM, CSD, SMS, FAX, GPRS) and multicodec (HR, FR, EFR, AMR), measures just 25 x 25 x 2,8 mm, and can be easily placed via either manual or common automated machine placement soldering methods. Castellation was selected for the first product in the new family as it is well matched for a modem with an inherently low number of connection points and offers significant advantages over the more complex LGA mounting mechanism.
For even shorter time-to-market, customers can get custom-developed turnkey smart M2M solutions in South Africa from Trinity Telecomms. These end-to-end M2M solutions are based on a generic, secure and scalable platform, powered by Anywhere Technologies. The offer includes all the parts of an M2M solution including the embedded application, device management, asset management, and consumer and enterprise web interfaces hosted and operated on a secure infrastructure. Trinity’s Smart M2M solution is hardware-independent and can integrate wireless modules from any supplier.
