OCTOBER EDITION OF CONNECTED |
October 2011 |
| Beecham Research recently reported on M2M Service Enablement Services (SES) looking at over 50 platforms on offer including Sierra Wireless AirVantage. It is predicted that the revenue opportunity for SES will grow at more than twice the rate of data revenue over the next few years.
The report concludes that SES reduces the time for M2M products/services to get to market and that SES represents a significant revenue opportunity for MNOs, resellers and M2M suppliers. For our customers we think it will become increasingly important to either have their own scalable SES or select a quality partner to support their application roll-out. The second Mobility Partner Program Roadshow will be held in both Melbourne and Sydney in November. We encourage developers to register. More information and the link to register is detailed in this newsletter. If you would like further information on any item in this newsletter please contact us.

Quake Q-Pro Satellite Modems
The Q-Pro Iridium and Q-Pro ORBCOMM only modems are available with pass-through mode software.

This sets up the Iridium modem by enabling command echo and disabling notify events. Serial data from the MTS port is copied to the iridium modem and serial data from the Iridium modem is copied to the MTS serial port. For more information on the Q-Pro modems click here. |
