SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Oct. 8, 2009 - Telit Wireless Solutions, Inc., the U.S.-based mobile technology arm of Telit Communications (AIM: TCM), and Aeris Communications, the leading wireless communications service provider dedicated exclusively to the machine-to-machine (M2M) and telematics marketplace across North America, announced today that Telit’s CDMA-1XRTT dual-band cellular M2M communications module, the CC864-DUAL, has earned certification on the Aeris wireless network in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
The two M2M industry leaders have also partnered for an innovative 60-day developer program designed to radically decrease time-to-market and optimize performance of M2M applications on the Aeris network. The program provides Telit customers with a 60-day window in which to utilize the Aeris cellular network for application development free of charge, as well as access Aeris’ AerPort web portal, which offers real-time network and device information that is crucial for design processes.
“Aeris and Telit share a likeminded commitment to minimizing the various hurdles developers face when bringing M2M applications to market. Our new developer program offers a very comprehensive toolkit and unsurpassed customer service to help developers through the necessary network certifications so they can focus on the design of the application and launching their product faster,” said Michael Ueland, Vice President and General Manager of Telit Wireless Solutions, Inc.
"Telit’s dependable M2M module technology combined with Aeris’ unique network infrastructure promises optimized performance for M2M applications throughout North America, providing our customers key market advantages of reliable data delivery and lower overall cost,” said Mark Cratsenburg, Vice President of Sales at Aeris Communications.
Telit’s CC864-DUAL is the company’s first CDMA-1XRTT wireless module designed specifically for North America. The CC864-DUAL has the same form factor, function and AT command set as its GSM/GPRS and UMTS/HSDPA counterparts, empowering integrators and OEMs to seamlessly swap modules without costly redesigns when utilizing multiple cellular networks. This enables M2M application developers to design an application only once and take advantage of the most prevalent cellular technologies worldwide, including GSM/GPRS, UMTS/HSDPA and CDMA-1xRTT.
With its ultra-compact design, and extended operating temperature range of -30° C to 80°C, the Telit CC864-DUAL is the perfect platform for medium-to-high-volume M2M applications and mobile data and computing devices. In addition to other value-added features, the CC864-DUAL incorporates gpsOne® capability for applications in mobile environments such as telematics, personal and asset tracking, as well as over-the-air maintenance and management of software in the module to protect customer investments.
