AT&T And Cinterion Wireless Modules Team Up To Expand The AT&T Connection Kit For Device Developers
AT&T and Cinterion Wireless Modules recently announced the launch of the AT&T Connection Kit For Device Developers with Cinterion Wireless Modules. Combining Cinterion's market-leading modules with AT&T's fastest 3G network and industry-leading service delivery platform, the quick-start kit contains everything needed to develop HSPA specialty wireless solutions for machine-to-machine (M2M) applications for virtually any industry or vertical market.
The AT&T Connection Kit program provides the tools and environment necessary to streamline device development and optimize performance on AT&T's 3G network. The newest kit leverages Cinterion's next generation HC25 module, which supports both Quad-Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and Tri-Band UMTS/HSDPA frequencies for worldwide functionality, enabling sophisticated enterprise devices and solutions such as PDAs, industrial handhelds and more.
The AT&T Connection Kit also includes AT&T SIM cards, data capacity for testing, access to AT&T Control Center, powered by Jasper Wireless, and best practice guidelines to bring approved devices to market faster than ever before. Perhaps most important, users of the AT&T Connection Kit have the peace of mind of working with M2M industry leaders with more than a decade of experience enabling successful M2M deployments.
"Cinterion believes that virtually all businesses and industries can improve the bottom line with intelligent M2M wireless technology," said Peter Fowler, regional president, Americas, Cinterion Wireless Modules.
