Jasper Wireless and Wavecom Team to Introduce M2M Infrastructure

By Niladri Sekhar Nath, TMCnet Contributing Editor

Jasper Wireless and Wavecom (News - Alert) has teamed to develop an all-in-one wireless machin- to-machine (M2M) infrastructure. The M2M infrastructure will integrate Wavecom StarService with the Jasper Wireless global service platform to help users handle their machine wirelessly.

The connectivity service also leverages the new Wavecom Wireless Microprocessor 50 with inSIM (embedded SIM), Wavecom Intelligent Device Services and the Jasper Wireless service platform for connecting and managing machines all over the globe.

"As machine makers scale their businesses using wireless technologies, having their equipment connected out-of-the-box from day one is critical,” said Jahangir Mohammed, CEO of Jasper Wireless. “Jasper Wireless is delighted to work with Wavecom to be the first M2M mobile operator to enable inSIM. Together we will lead the industry in changing the economics of M2M services."

Jasper Wireless runs a service platform that connects and manages machines around the world. The service includes three vital elements - the Jasper Wireless M2M Global SIM offers local service in over 35 countries and growing every month. Jasper Wireless Control Center provides one dashboard for all machines with comprehensive visibility and control of communications. IN addition, a group of vertical application solutions takes care of needs of specific industries including fleet and asset management, vehicle telematics, security and remote product service.

On the other hand, Wavecom StarService comprises the new Wavecom Wireless Microprocessor 50 with inSIM (embedded SIM) free of charge with a subscription to the secure Wavecom Intelligent Device Services web portal. Wavecom inSIM is an industrial-grade implementation of traditional SIM cards capable of bearing the rough environments usually attached with M2M applications.

"Wavecom and Jasper Wireless are changing the business model for enterprise by removing the upfront investment that has been a key barrier to mass adoption of wireless M2M," said Ron Black, CEO, Wavecom. "Jasper Wireless is unique in its ability to deliver a single global service and we are delighted to partner with them by combining our companies' great technologies with innovative business models to deliver exceptional value to industrial M2M and automotive customers."
