Gemalto M2M solution delivers 4G connectivity to workers in hazardous environments
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Mobile World Congress, Barcelona - March 3, 2015 - Gemalto (Euronext
NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security, announces its M2M
solution is enabling high-speed connectivity for the commercial launch of the
first 4G Intrinsically Safe industrial PDA. In the Airo I-Safe 28, Airo Wireless
implements intrinsic safety standards, a protection technique for safe operation
of electrical equipment in hazardous areas. The Airo 4G device, equipped with
Gemalto's advanced Cinterion M2M technology, brings reliable and fast
communication to workers in mission critical situations such as the oil and gas,
petrochemical, pharmaceutical, public safety and utility industries.
The solution features state-of-the-art GPS capabilities to locate workers in the
field and triggers an emergency call to response teams if needed. The
Intrinsically Safe device leverages Gemalto's ruggedized M2M technology which is
tested under the most strenuous environmental conditions including varying
pressure levels, combustible settings, extreme temperatures and gas or dust
hazards. Gemalto brings an optimized audio quality for high-bandwidth voice
support enabling advanced audio capabilities to ensure reliable communications
in volatile environments.
"The Gemalto solution ensures components on the inside are as capable of
enduring harsh climate environments and mechanical ruggedness as the external
hardware," said Jonathan Ventulett, VP of Engineering at Airo Wireless.
"Gemalto's outstanding service and customer support helped us start from the
design phase through to market launch, enabling us to meet surging demands for
our Airo I-Safe 28 device."
"For enterprises that require this type of equipment they can take advantage of
the growing number of 4G mobile applications optimizing business operations and
processes," said Juan Lazcano, Head of M2M Sales for Gemalto North
America. "Unlike the average handheld device which has a product life of less
than two years, the Airo product uses Gemalto technology that is designed to
support the long lifecycle of M2M solutions. This gives Airo customers the
confidence they need to invest in new solutions."
