[October 07, 2009] AT&T and Numerex Team to Address M2M Enterprise Needs Tweet DALLAS, Oct. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T* today announced the extension of an agreement with Numerex Corp. , a leading single source provider of secure machine-to-machine (M2M) products and services, to provide turnkey services for M2M enterprise markets. This initiative expands the network and application technologies available for AT&T and Numerex customers and is aimed to speed M2M solutions to market while also delivering real-time network device management services. Through this agreement, AT&T will provide Numerex with access to the AT&T Control Center, enabling further expansion of AT&T's distribution in the M2M market. AT&T and Numerex customers that serve end-user markets - such as energy, healthcare and security companies - will benefit from synergies of these integrated services and the availability of more foundational components used for the design and development of most M2M solutions. Earlier this year, AT&T announced an agreement with Jasper Wireless to offer exclusive U.S. access to AT&T Control Center, powered by Jasper. Jasper Wireless is a global leader in M2M, providing carriers with best-in-class business management, operations and support tools for consumer and enterprise markets. "AT&T is committed to help drive wireless capabilities into a wide variety of devices beyond traditional handsets for businesses," said Chris Hill, vice president, mobility product management, AT&T Business Solutions. "As part of our focus on M2M communications, our expanding relationship with Numerex to include AT&T Control Center enhances our ability to explore cost-effective and efficient solutions for our business customers." Numerex's strategy centers on rapid, easy development and implementation of applications and solutions, correlating well with the AT&T/Jasper network services that include best-in-class provisioning, activation, and device management and support services. "Simplifying M2M solution development, facilitating the on-boarding process, making it easier to manage the product life cycle, and providing best-in-class support, are all key to securing and maintaining long-term relationships with customers," said Stratton Nicolaides, Numerex CEO and chairman. "The opportunity to address the needs of enterprise customers comprehensively with AT&T is very exciting as we anticipate new innovative approaches to delivering M2M services."
