Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW) today announced that
the company will be showcasing its solutions for the Internet of
Things (IoT) at the Mobile World Congress 2016, which takes place
February 22-25 in Barcelona, Spain.
Sierra Wireless will be presenting the latest IoT cellular
technologies for automotive, mobility and smart city applications
in the GSMA Innovation City, located in Hall 3. The 2,000 m2
Innovation City replicates real-world urban and rural environments
to demonstrate how cellular connectivity expands the possibilities
for consumers and businesses alike. The GSMA is expecting more than
30,000 visitors to the Innovation City this year. To learn more

Technology Demonstrations
Visitors to the Sierra Wireless space in the Innovation City
will discover live demonstrations of IoT connectivity solutions in
action, two of which are built around recent Sierra Wireless
technology innovations:
- Low Power Wide Area (LPWA)
technology. Built in collaboration with Altair and Ericsson,
this demonstration shows the low-power capabilities of a miniature
LTE-M module in three real-life use cases: A smart meter, a
wearable fitness device, and a wearable healthcare device.
- Smart SIM and connectivity
services. This demonstration, created in collaboration with
Matooma, shows Sierra Wireless multi-operator Smart SIMs and the
IoT Platform in two mission-critical use cases: a personal
monitoring system for senior people and a mobile terminal for
police officers.
Three other demonstrations showcase practical applications of
Sierra Wireless technology in customer solutions:
- Mobile Video Surveillance
Station. A mobile video surveillance station from Axis
Communications, powered by a Sierra Wireless 4G gateway, can be
deployed very quickly in places without a dedicated network
infrastructure, to cover events such as demonstrations, riots,
outdoor concerts or sporting events.
- Smart Parking Meter. Cellular
connectivity transforms Parkeon’s parking meters into multi-service
kiosks, enabling value-add services such as couponing, city news
updates, and parking fine payment management.
- Smart Telematics Control Unit.
Valeo’s smart 4G Telematics Control Unit enables users to
interact with their cars remotely. Via their smartphone or tablet,
users can lock and unlock the car, activate and deactivate wipers
or heating, and receive car location, live video streaming and
other information from the car.
Conferences and Seminars
Sierra Wireless executives will take part in the Mobile World
Congress conference program, with the following speaking
engagements:

Scaling the Internet of Things (Wednesday, February 24, 9:30
