Mobile and M2M gateways

16 September 2009 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

The Sierra Wireless AirLink line of intelligent mobile and M2M gateways is now available in South Africa through Arrow Altech Distribution. The rapid growth of high-speed wireless networks has created tremendous opportunities for enterprise applications that leverage broadband data. The broad line-up of AirLink intelligent, rugged gateways is well suited for various fixed, portable and mobile data applications, such as those found in public safety, law enforcement, emergency services, field service, energy manufacturing, distribution and metering, security surveillance and industrial networking.

The Raven range is built on a robust processing environment and features embedded ALEOS intelligence and various forms of connectivity such as RS232, USB and 10/100 Ethernet, depending on the model, in a compact and rugged enclosure. The Raven range is targeted at applications requiring unmanned access to high-speed wireless data, including digital signage and video surveillance. Class I Div 2 certification for operation in hazardous conditions and embedded machine protocols make it equally suited for remote industrial and M2M deployments.

The PinPoint range is a rugged, intelligent and fully-featured mobile communications platform with multiple peripheral connections including serial, Ethernet and USB. Expanded I/O functionality in a separate connector includes four digital inputs, four analog inputs and two relay outputs, providing extensive remote instrumentation and events reporting possibilities. Equipped with a high precision GPS receiver and advanced remote management capabilities, the PinPoint range is well suited for a wide variety of mobile data and location applications requiring realtime and continual data access. By leveraging ALEOS, third-party location application providers can integrate with the PinPoint range to enable a broad set of mobile data and field service solutions. Furthermore, the events reporting engine embedded in ALEOS allows customers to monitor sensors and trigger notifications via e-mail, SMS or to a third-party application.

All AirLink devices are powered by ALEOS embedded intelligence. ALEOS, which has been deployed on hundreds of thousands of devices worldwide, is a robust, reliable environment that simplifies installation, deployment and management of any wireless solution. Compatible with numerous machine and GPS protocols, it streamlines integration with a broad set of legacy equipment and third-party applications. ALEOS ensures a highly reliable persistent network connection and enables extensive remote management and diagnostics, all of which are vital in remote, unmanned and mobile operations where physical access is difficult and expensive.

AirLink devices are supported by AceWare, the remote management software offered by Sierra Wireless. Deeply integrated with ALEOS, AceWare applications simplify deployment and management of wireless solutions by providing extensive device setup and provisioning, as well as remote control, configuration and management of deployed communications platforms. One of the key components of AceWare is the ability to upgrade ALEOS firmware over-the-air.

All Sierra Wireless mobile and M2M HSUPA devices are fully backward compatible to HSDPA, UMTS, EDGE and GPRS networks.
