Simple Com Tools
showcases M2M Solutions at CTIA
Solutions
Providers and Customers Meet at M2M Zone
Tampa, FL – March 19, 2006
Simple Com Tools, LLC – developer of
award winning solutions that make it easier to collect and integrate
machine data announced their attendance at CTIA Wireless in Las Vegas
Apr. 5-7.
Simple Com Tools will be exhibiting
their unique M2M solutions in Booth #5412, located in the M2M Zone™
Pavilion.
The M2M Zone™ features exhibitors
with pioneering wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) services and
products. M2M solutions include wireless remote control and monitoring
of fixed and mobile devices for enterprise and consumer markets. The
M2M Zone is where network operators, application designers, hardware
manufacturers, media groups and end-users come together to showcase
exciting wireless M2M communications. Join industry leaders as they
build the partnerships and develop the devices, interfaces and systems
to grow the wireless M2M industry.
"As the next evolution in networking,
we will see traditionally 'dumb' machines going online," said Ian
Barkin, managing director of The FocalPoint Group, the San Francisco
market research firm. "The number of assets with microchips and an
ability to communicate location, status, and other characteristics will
grow dramatically as companies realize the major impact device
connectivity will have on their business. The adoption of M2M will also
have many positive impacts on our daily lives."
Simple Com Tools provides products
that simplify the capture and integration of machine data. Our unique
solutions unify event capture, communications, and pre-compiled
applications into easily configurable appliances, enabling companies to
quickly and cost effectively deploy M2M solutions in ways never
available in the market until now.
“There is a new breed of engineer
working on M2M,” states Bill Farley, VP of Sales for Simple Com Tools.
“They’ve got responsibilities for all facets of M2M implementation,
including selecting automation methods, hardware interfaces,
networking, wireless communications, data collection, and more. They’ve
got a lot on their plate and limited budgets, so when it comes to
making things work, they need technology that’s intuitive and easy to
deploy. That's where we come in. And being in the M2M Zone gives us the
perfect opportunity to showcase our technology and prove to people how
we make M2M - Simplified.”
On site at CTIA
will be demonstrations of the following products:
• COM1000
Industrial Internet Appliance:
With its unique blend of serial and
IP communications, I/O, and embedded applications, the COM1000 solves
many M2M deployment challenges. Here are just a few of the features
that the COM1000 has to offer:
• (4) Digital
Inputs
• (1) Analog Input
• (1) Relay Output
• Ethernet, RS232,
RS485 ports
• Support for
CDMA, GPRS, & more
• Support for
private radio
• Supports HTTP,
TCP, UDP, PPP
• RS232 &
RS485 device servers
• SMTP, FTP, and
SMS clients
• Custom firmware
for ASPs
• COM1000 for
SensorLogic:
The same well-known rugged and
flexible device but loaded with special firmware that allows for
communicating and reporting events to SensorLogic's flexible M2M
application building platform. Delivered as a hosted service and
designed for self-service administration, SL Platform gives solution
developers an attractive alternative to in-house development.
• XML1000 Serial
I/O Server:
Designed to serve as both a partner
to the COM1000 or as a stand-alone device, the XML1000 is also an
important device servicing the M2M market. Simplistic in both its
design and feature set, the XML1000 serves a virtually un-addressed
niche in the M2M market – the low-cost standards-based, open-source,
hardware appliance for capturing I/O events. With a RS232 DB9 port for
the physical interface, the XML1000 Serial I/O server allows for a
network agnostic communications transport of your XML data.
Communicating with the XML1000 can be done over serial links,
leased-lines, dialup, or via TCP/IP using IP-to-Ethernet device servers
or 3G wireless data modems.
• PRC1000
Programmable Relay Controller:
The PRC1000 Programmable Relay
Controller is an extremely low-power, user programmable dual mode/dual
relay controller providing complete power control for two individual
electronic devices. Equipped with two separate SPDT (Single Pole Double
Throw) relays, individually configurable schedule timers and serial
data stream triggers, the PRC1000 provides for either manual or
automatic operation of any electronic equipment.
