Texas Instruments and Enfora Collaborate on Enterprise Asset Tracking and Management Solutions



    Enfora announced today that it is expanding its collaboration with
    Texas Instruments, Inc. (TI), and will develop intelligent wireless
    solutions using TI´s NaviLink(TM) 5.0 single-chip GPS receiver. These
    solutions will be targeted at organizations that need to track, manage
    and control a wide variety of assets. Deployment of these solutions
    can provide these organizations with cost reductions and improved
    utilization of their assets, eliminating redundancies and enhancing
    asset lifecycle management.

    Further to this collaboration, Enfora will incorporate a
    combination of TI´s NaviLink 5.0 GPS solution, LoCosto single-chip
    cellular platform, and "ultra-low-power" microcontroller into Enfora´s
    intelligent devices, including wireless modules and integrated
    products. These intelligent devices can be used, for example, to track
    shipping containers, delivery trucks and other vehicles or assets.

    Enfora´s integration of TI´s leading-edge silicon into flexible,
    low-power intelligent devices will also allow application solution
    providers to adapt their applications to the remote asset monitoring,
    sensor management, data collection and location-based environments.
    Furthermore, these devices, particularly when coupled with Enfora´s
    intelligent gateway, are designed to facilitate rapid solution
    deployment across a variety of applications.

    "TI and Enfora have enjoyed a long-standing strategic
    relationship," said Mark Denissen, TI´s Vice President, Strategic
    Marketing. "This expanded collaboration between our companies will
    provide customers configurable solutions for low power communications
    with GPS capabilities."

    "Through our close relationship with TI we obtain access to a
    variety of technologies that we can use to expand our solutions in
    order to meet the asset tracking and management needs of corporate
    enterprise on a global basis," said Jeff Newman, Chief Strategy
    Officer of Enfora. "Our use of TI´s GPS technology allows us to
    provide our enterprise customers with wireless networking solutions
    based on leading edge technology for asset tracking and management
    applications."
