Programmable Gateways for M2M

[admin]

Programmable Gateways for M2M
The AirLink Fastrack Xtend and GL Series programmable gateways bring
cellular connectivity and data services to any device. You can either connect
existing non-wireless applications as an external retrofit, or create new
wireless products.
Designed for M2M customers, these programmable gateways feature standard
interfaces (USB or RS232) for use with a wide range of industrial equipment.
Supporting the Sierra Wireless Software Suite, these ready-to-use solutions
can host your entire application software: Embed your C/C++ or Lua application
software directly on your FXT or GL device to transform it into your own
standalone product.
AirVantage Management Services provide remote management and monitoring of
the FXT and GL Series. Managing your gateways with AirVantage also allows you
to remotely upgrade the firmware to remain compatible with evolving networks.
AIRLINK FASTRACK XTEND GATEWAY
The AirLink Fastrack Xtend gateway provides a highly extendable platform
for the creation of a wide range of M2M solutions, with versions supporting
quad band (850/900/1850/1900) GSM/GPRS and EDGE, or tri-band
(2100/850/1900) HSxPA.
It features a slot for adding expansion cards, enabling you to add extra
functionalities of your choice. Use Sierra Wireless expansion cards or
develop your own – available cards include additional IOs, USB and GPS.
AIRLINK GL SERIES CELLULAR MODEMS
Among the world’s smallest ready-to-go cellular modems, the AirLink GL6100
(DB9) and AirLink GL6110 (USB) plug into any device and are ready to make the
GSM/GPRS connection. They feature complete IP connectivity, from basic
TCP/IP blocks to advanced internet services.
EMBEDDED SIM
All AirLink FXT Series and GL Series programmable gateways are available
with an embedded SIM as an option.
Sierra Wireless’s embedded SIM solution removes the plastic from a
conventional SIM card and embeds the silicon die inside the programmable
gateway, with the following benefits:
• Resistance to extreme temperatures, vibration and humidity
• Subscribers can choose their service provider and carrier
• Subscription portability and security
• Reduced size
• Simplified logistics
• Same warranty as the programmable gateway itself

Cellular Software for M2M
The Sierra Wireless Software Suite is a comprehensive
embedded software platform designed and optimized for
M2M (machine-to-machine) communication. The software
suite lets you embed your application directly onto your
intelligent embedded module.
This embedded software allows your AirLink FXT Series or
GL Series programmable gateway to function in a number
of different ways:
• Simple modems: controlled via AT commands by a
main processor
• Intelligent modems: controlled via AT commands by
a main processor, but also providing some additional
customized services through a supplementary software
application
• Processors: the gateway is the single processor and is
hosting your standard ANSI C/C++ or Lua application as
well as providing the wireless connectivity
The Sierra Wireless Software Suite is owned, developed and
maintained by Sierra Wireless, allowing us to respond to your
needs faster than companies relying on third-party software.
The software suite includes:
• A pre-emptive multitasked event-based real-time operating
system (Open AT® OS)
• An integrated development environment built on Eclipse™
to develop, compile, download, test and debug your
application binary
• An extensive set of additional libraries (Plug-Ins) which
offer supplementary services over the core Open AT® OS
• The firmware which manages the wireless communication
(GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HSPA) and an AT commands interface
in the programmable gateway
• A simple and intuitive Windows®-based discovery tool
which enables ultra-fast configuration of your gateway as
well as easy access to basic modem features
• PC drivers for Windows® XP/Vista (USB and CMUX)
• Embedded drivers for Windows® Mobile 5.x/6.x and
Windows® CE 6.0 (RIL/MUX and USB)
Learning Center
Sierra Wireless provides a professional education program for
developers using the Sierra Wireless Software Suite. Enrolling
in one of our courses will spark your creativity and help you to
speed development time. For companies wishing to enroll a
few participants, we provide scheduled training course dates
in Europe, North America and Asia on a regular basis. If you
have larger needs or just want a dedicated tutoring session,
we also offer on-site programs.

AirVantage™
Management Services
Once you have deployed your wireless M2M solution in the field, you may
need to regularly monitor and upgrade your devices. How do you do that
in an easy, safe and cost-effective way?
The answer is AirVantage Management Services, a packaged device
management solution that enables remote diagnosis and software upgrades
which can save you considerable operating costs.
REMOTE DIAGNOSIS ENABLES YOU TO:
• Run sanity checks and configure your devices
• Monitor the wireless network quality
• Compile traffic reports for analysis
THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE SERVICE INCLUDES:
• Delta generation (download only the code that has changed, for faster
downloads and reduced data volume)
• Upgrade for multiple devices
• Real-time campaign monitoring
• Reports
Easy to deploy, secure, scalable and carrier agnostic, AirVantage
Management Services are based on industry standards: OMA-DM and
full IP architecture.
These secure, easy-to-deploy and scalable device management services are
powered by the AirVantage Services Platform, a comprehensive softwareas-
a-service M2M offering which allows you to quickly expand your M2M
services, from device management to asset data management, subscription
management and billing services.
