existing back-end applications, the service will enable users to
remotely upgrade firmware and application software, configure devices,

"Numerex is thrilled to be a part of this offering which will
undoubtedly bring tremendous value for current and new adopters of
machine-to-machine (M2M) wireless technology," said Mike Lang, Senior
Vice President for Numerex. "By combining Wavecom StarService with
Numerex networks and our industry-leading M2M solutions, we will
deliver a feature-rich platform on which our customers can design and
develop a new generation of M2M products and services."
"Numerex has been a long-time, trusted partner for Wavecom in
North America and we are pleased to continue our partnership with this
ground-breaking solution," said Stefan Lindvall, Group Vice President
and Head of Region Americas for Wavecom. "Their expertise in the area
of machine to machine communications is a natural complement to our
hardware, software and services offerings. Together we will change the
face of the industry."
Numerex provides fixed and mobile M2M wireless solutions and a
broad range of network services and technology to enable real-time
wireless data communications for security, vending, utilities,
automotive, healthcare and more. Their tailored, single-source
approach ensures the right service for each customer application.
By integrating the Wavecom StarService with Numerex network
services, high-volume customers may qualify to receive the new Wavecom
