affordable services from our Satellite partner ORBCOMM, are sure to
open the door to mass adoption of this technology particularly in
industries focused on high-value equipment, transportation and
logistics."

To further reduce total cost of ownership, the new Q52 Omni
supports the unique, secure Wavecom Intelligent Device Service offer,
providing customers with access to the world´s most powerful Web-based
service platform for upgrading and monitoring networked machines.

Sampling with key customers has already commenced with commercial
