AUGUST EDITION OF CONNECTED |
AUGUST 2011 |
| August has been a busy month for M2M. One of our main suppliers, Quake Global, has been visiting and updating us on some of their new products including a new Q-Pro rugged satellite modem integrated with Inmarsat Isat Data Pro. Telstra has launched its LTE network in limited areas with plans to expand rapidly in the coming 12 months and we are already working with several developers with the new Sierra Wireless LTE modules. If you have an interest in LTE integration please let us know. Telstra have formally approved the Q26EX NextG module and the approval will cover modems using this module including the Sierra Wireless Fastrack Xtend FXT003 and the Maestro Heritage 3G and this will help developers and integrators in their dealings with Telstra sales.
