CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading
provider of wireless communications solutions, today introduced its
Sentry 2500 and Vanguard-LTE, two next generation wireless
broadband networking platforms for mobile and fixed data
applications, at the International Wireless Communications Expo.
These new products are designed to support CalAmp customers with 4G
solutions in public safety mobile data, smart grid communications,
high speed SCADA/Telemetry, rail automation, and a host of other
mission critical data applications. General availability for both
products is expected later this year.
CalAmp's Sentry 2500 provides simultaneous high-speed 4G WiMax
connectivity with 3G fallback. Based on IEEE 802.16e-2005 and 3GPP
TS 36.101 standards, the Sentry features extensive routing
capabilities with an easy-to-use interface and comprehensive remote
management capability. Built-in GPS, two ethernet ports and an
optional 802.11 b/g interface with simultaneous access point and
client operation allows both WAN and LAN connectivity. Sentry 2500
is designed for public or private networks and is the only true
ruggedized mobile Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) with integrated
WiMAX, EVDO, 1xRTT, GPS and Wi-Fi. Rule-based switching for
4G/3G/WiFi enables user-configurable control such as segregating
certain traffic to specific bearers and choosing 4G/3G fallback to
help ensure continuous network connectivity.
The Vanguard-LTE offers a single, flexible platform to address
both mobile and fixed wireless communications needs. This broadband
router enables wireless data connectivity for up to two LAN devices
and one serial device over public and private LTE networks at 4G
speeds. The Vanguard LTE will support public safety 700 MHz Band 14
implementations as infrastructure is deployed in this spectrum.
Vanguard provides reliable connectivity for all types of mobile
computing devices, web-enabled cameras, and any ethernet or serial
appliance. Original equipment manufacturers may tailor the Vanguard
by loading their application on the Open Developer Platform (ODP)
that allows a Linux application to run on a partition of the
embedded Linux operating system.
"Sentry 2500 and Vanguard-LTE represent our next generation
cellular technology platforms for rugged, feature-rich and secure
broadband wireless communications," said Rick Nozel, Senior Vice
President of Sales and Marketing for CalAmp's wireless networks
business. "These versatile platforms meet the growing need for near
real time network access with industrial-class reliability and
security, and are ideally suited for a number of automation
applications in Smart Grid, Oil & Gas, Rail and Public Safety.
CalAmp continues to set the industry standard in performance and
value for a wide range of fixed and mobile data solutions."
CalAmp is exhibiting both products in Booth #9017 at the IWCE
2011 convention in Las Vegas through March 11, 2011.
