Wavecom introduces wireless microprocesor

June 2007 Data Acquisition & Telemetry

Wavecom, a leader in embedded wireless communication platforms for automotive, industrial machine-to-machine (M2M) and mobile professional applications, has announced the launch to South Africa of the first in a family of powerful microprocessors with built-in wireless communications capability. The wireless microprocessor combines high performance embedded processing and wireless connectivity in a single surface-mount component. In combination with its Open AT software suite the company claims that this provides the lowest total cost of ownership for any industrial wireless machine by reducing the overall number of components and shortening time-to-market.

Using Open AT software, developers can create M2M applications in C language that can be maintained remotely, over-the-air, throughout their lifetime. The Open AT OS allows developers to execute their program natively, without the need to interpret code, minimising memory footprint and processor resource overhead.

Commenting on this new offering Ron Black, Wavecom CEO, stated: "With the introduction of our wireless microprocessor we continue to demonstrate our capacity to innovate and set new standards for addressing the industrial wireless market."

Using the integrated development environment (IDE), developers have access to central application processing, integrated cellular voice, data, wireless Internet connectivity, and numerous external interfaces for processor interrupts and connection to a wide range of peripherals such as: USB, RS232, GPIO, parallel port, SPI, I²C, ADC, keyboard, analog and digital audio. They can also integrate companion technologies such as Bluetooth and GPS by using one of the standard external busses thereby further reducing overall costs.
