Telit Wireless Solutions Receives KORE Telematics MVNO Network Certification

RALEIGH, N.C.--Telit Wireless Solutions, Inc., the US-based mobile technology arm of Telit Communications (AIM:TCM), today announced the certification of six of Telit’s cellular communication modules for use on KORE Telematics’ data network. With this approval, Telit has opened the market for their customers to use applications including automatic meter reading, fleet management, security and surveillance, asset tracking, and remote device management and maintenance.

KORE Telematics is the only mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) in North America to offer broad-based SMS, GPRS and GSM-based bearer services to M2M users. The company’s network extends coast-to-coast, spanning over 47,000 cell sites in the United States and Canada. KORE also has roaming support for SMS and voice service in over 140 countries as well as GPRS data service with more than 135 operators worldwide.

“Telit’s modules passed our stringent testing process and have proven to be state-of-the-art products, coupled with outstanding local market technical support that met all of our requirements,” said Alex Brisbourne, President and COO of KORE Telematics. “Telit is well known across the industry for their innovative and form-friendly designs that allow their customers the flexibility and tailoring that they crave.”

Telit was awarded certification for its GE864-QUAD, GE863-QUAD, GM862-QUAD, GC864-QUAD, GM862-GPS, and GE863-GPS modules. As a prerequisite to receiving this latest certification, Telit was also awarded PTCRB certification on all six modules. Telit modules enable OEMs to develop wireless communication applications and products faster, by eliminating the need for costly RF developments, while simultaneously providing the single largest range of choices to turn any machine into an integrated enterprise tool.

“As an MVNO solely focused on the M2M sector, KORE Telematics is well aware of the importance and scope of new M2M applications that are poised to enter the US market,” said Roger Dewey, President and CEO of Telit Wireless Solutions, Inc. “By certifying our modules, KORE is helping us to provide our vendors with an option of entering the US market through an independent operator.”

Occupying less than two square inches of space, Telit’s GSM/GPRS modules allow machines, equipment, or vehicles to interface with each other via mobile communications networks. Telit’s approach to enterprise wireless communication is unique - its products are divided into families, each tailored to different levels of integration and volumes according to application size and production scale, and each addressing distinct application groups such as telematics, fleet management, and automatic meter reading. Within these families, products have the same form factor and functionality irrespective of their wireless technology (GSM, CDMA). The advantage for customers is immediately apparent because all modules within a family are interchangeable, due to uniformity in size, shape, connectors, and software interface. Customers can easily replace any module with its successor because there is little or no change required to the application.
