Enfora to use Gemalto's M2M SIM

21 January 2009 News

Enfora has announced that it will be using the Allynis M2M SIM from Gemalto to expand the capabilities of Enfora’s Enabler III low-power embedded platforms and its Spider integrated platforms.

Through the use of Enfora’s SIM control algorithms and Gemalto’s SIM technology, Enfora believes it can provide a more robust and longer lasting solution for asset management applications.

The removable SIM card and related technology have been a significant limiting factor in applications for the monitoring and tracking of assets over extended periods of time and/or under extreme environmental conditions. The addition of Gemalto’s embedded SIM technology to Enfora’s low-power platforms accelerates deployment of solutions for such applications by allowing customers to go directly from the factory to the field without the necessity of provisioning and manually inserting a SIM. In addition, Gemalto’s SIM technology is highly resistant to the effects of extreme temperature, vibration and humidity, and therefore is better able to withstand extreme environmental conditions.

Enfora’s low-power platforms are designed to work in harmony with its Services Gateway to facilitate the rapid deployment and extend the useful life of wireless devices, while reducing maintenance costs and providing seamless connectivity to enterprise software. Services Gateway 2.0 provides a user-friendly environment to directly connect, manage and provision wireless devices from existing enterprise applications. Users are provided with a detailed view of their mobile assets, enabling proactive management and systematic upgrades, as needed. The latest release of the Services Gateway supports browser-based administration, command pooling and firmware-over-the-air (FOTA) upgrades.

The Enabler and Spider platforms are part of Enfora’s eWiDE suite of wireless networking solutions which are designed to support a variety of wireless applications, including asset management, tracking and remote monitoring and control.
