Wifi Revolution

In a bid to address the growing automotive and alarm/security markets, Wavecom (News - Alert) has launched its fully programmable 3G Wireless CPU, the Q26Ultra, using high bandwidth cellular capabilities.

 

Boasting Wideband CDMA functionality, the Q26 Ultra bridges the entire spectrum of bearers from 2G, 2.5G, 2.75G and 3G. The product targets two growing markets for connected machine-to-machine applications: automotive and security.

 

With Q26 Ultra, Wavecom offers an automotive-grade design and qualification that will allow car makers to meet the demand for in-vehicle infotainment. For the security market, the high band-with capacity makes the new product ideal for video cameras in sophisticated alarm and security systems.

 

“The new Wireless CPU from Wavecom is automotive-grade quality and it is designed to meet our customer commitment of ensuring seamless compatibility between existing and new Wavecom products,” said Philippe Guillemette, Wavecom’s chief technology officer in a statement to the press.

 

Elaborating on the features Guillemette explains that not only is its form factor compatible with the existing Q2686 and Q2687, but the Q26Ultra is built on Wavecom’s next generation Open AT Software Suite 3.0 providing seamless customer application portability.

 

These two features facilitate the smooth upgrade of customers’ existing Q26 series-based designs when their future applications require larger bandwidth provided by 3G networks.

 

Designed using Wavecom’s extensive automotive expertise in wireless communication, the Q26Ultra opens the door to future growth for this new product. By adding 3G capability, the product responds to a growing demand for mobile video and high speed internet access.
