Wavecom Sets New Standards for Embedded Wireless Design Launching Open AT(R) Software Suite 2.0


    Regulatory News:

    Wavecom (Paris:AVM) (NASDAQ:WVCM), today announced the commercial
    availability of its Open AT(R) Software Suite 2.0.

    The next generation software architecture represents continuing
    improvement and innovation that allows developers to write application
    code in two popular programming languages: C and Lua - C for
    efficiency and code compactness and Lua for ease of development and
    code security. The developed code can be re-used, without
    modification, on multiple Wavecom Wireless CPU(R) devices from Plug &
    Play to Quik to Wireless Microprocessor(R) families. This portability
    feature allows the growing number of Open AT(R) developers to benefit
    from re-using previously developed code for reducing the Total Cost of
    Ownership (TCO) of their end products by developing scalable platforms
    and shortening Time To Market (TTM).

    In addition to application portability, the newest version of the
    Open AT(R) Software Suite comes with a wide variety of value added
    features that specifically target remotely installed machines where
    cost optimisation is critical to a product´s success. One such
    significant advance is the ability of the pre-emptive RTOS (Real Time
    Operating System) to support multi-tasking, a much anticipated feature
    of the Open AT(R) customer base.

    Grant Bradley, Head of Design, Psitek (Republic of South Africa)
    commented: "Because we needed to lower the cost of our product, we
    chose Wavecom´s Wireless Microprocessor(R) WMP100 using the Open AT(R)
    Software Suite 2.0. In our development phase, the level of commitment
    and support from Wavecom was fantastic.

    We now have a great, competitive product based on a flexible
    platform, and a path for making future product development easier and
    faster."

    Simon Block: Senior Developer at Symstream (Australia) commented,
    "I was impressed with the new open audio interfaces when porting my
    applications onto Wavecom´s Wireless CPU(R) using the Open AT(R) RTOS.
    The real time BSP-based software architecture allowed me to market our
    SynMultiGTM plug-in in record time across the Wavecom Wireless CPU(R)
    portfolio."

    This unique RTOS allows direct access to hardware resources within
    a guaranteed response time upon interruption what ever the GSM, GPRS
    or EDGE state of the Wireless CPU(R) (active or not) and full access
    to the audio path for complex audio processing via easy APIs. The
    monitoring of the application´s multi-task structure is made through a
    programmable application-dedicated "watchdog" which is tuneable
    depending on the processing to be performed and debugging is made
    easier using JTAG probes.

    Finally, the firmware has been upgraded to support Wavecom´s
    uniquely secure Intelligent Device Service (IDS) offer, providing
    customers with access to the world´s most powerful web-based service
    platform for upgrading and monitoring networked machines.

    Stephane Baixas, Wavecom Software Director concluded, "There is no
    doubt in my mind that this release is a milestone in software
    development of enterprise communication applications. It brings
    together multiple parts of Wavecom´s strategy that are needed to
    accelerate market growth. I´m extremely pleased to see the number of
    customers either already in production or designing new products with
    this release which is testament to our value based approach."
