Regulatory News:
Wavecom (Paris:AVM) (NASDAQ:WVCM) today announced complete
certification of twelve Wireless CPU(R) products for use in the U.S.
Designed specifically for machine-to-machine applications, the devices
all support the innovative Wavecom low-cost-of-ownership, single-CPU
architecture.
All Wavecom Fastrack Supreme, Wireless Microprocessor and Q2687
products have received AT&T certification, signifying a major
milestone that opens the gates for substantial new business
opportunities in North America. In addition, the approvals serve to
ease the process and lower the cost of final product certification for
a wide variety of applications including automotive telematics;
automatic meter management; vehicle remote management; asset tracking,
and home and office security.
"Wavecom is committed to comprehensive carrier certification of
all of our products. By certifying the full range of Wavecom Wireless
CPU(R) devices, we provide our customers with the ability to
streamline their own certification process," said Stefan Lindvall,
Group Vice President and Head of the Americas Region. "We already have
several programs building on the Q2687 and Wireless Microprocessor(R)
platforms. And with the certification of Fastrack Supreme, we´re
pleased to be able to offer significantly improved time to market."
Fastrack Supreme
The Fastrack Supreme features an open-standard expansion card
interface, enabling developers to add additional I/O (Input/Output)
connectivity or features like GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee and more.
The Wavecom expansion cards allow for easy application-specific
development - currently available cards include additional I/Os, USB
and GPS functionality - the units with the expansion cards included
are among AT&T certified products. All Fastrack Supreme products are
"finished" units for quick deployment with no additional approvals
required.
Wireless Microprocessor(R)
The Wireless Microprocessor(R) family redefines total cost of
ownership via its fully automated machine placement form factor (no
I/O radio connectors), companion wireless Plug-Ins and multitasking
operating system.
Q2687
Q2687 is an Automotive-grade Wireless CPU(R) which is backward
compatible with the Q2686 and forward compatible with 3G evolutions
and Open AT(R) Software application development environments so that
application portability is easy. It also supports a new parallel data
bus for interfacing to displays and external memory and data bearers
up to EDGE. Q2687 Classic is an entry level version of the Q2687 that
is certified for use in the North American markets. It has exactly the
same I/O features as Q2687 and supports GPRS as opposed to EDGE.
Customers benefit from Open AT(R) Application portability across the
entire Q26 GSM Series to optimize their total system cost.
