SAN DIEGO, March 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- nPhase, a
Verizon Wireless and Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM) joint
venture, today announced a new machine-to-machine (M2M) developer
program, called nPhase ONE, that will provide a single M2M
application development platform with comprehensive support and
advanced M2M capabilities engineered for deployment on Verizon
Wireless and Vodafone mobile networks. nPhase ONE is the missing
link in M2M for device OEMs, application providers and enterprise
customers, and its support will include a developer website with
online support and community forum, specialized toolkits, developer
test environments, training and end-to-end implementation support.
"Businesses today are seeking to manage remote assets by
deploying wireless M2M applications that run on powerful mobile
networks, such as those offered by Verizon Wireless and Vodafone,"
said Steve Pazol, president of
nPhase. "The nPhase application development platform dramatically
reduces costs and time to market for enterprises that need to
develop robust, world class M2M products and services deployed on
these networks."
"We see tremendous possibilities for nPhase ONE to support
developers interested in providing tools and applications for the
M2M customer," said Todd Murphy,
director, Verizon Developer Community at Verizon Wireless. "We look
forward to expanding our developer program to include enterprise
and M2M opportunities with the nPhase platform playing a key
role."
For device OEMs, nPhase ONE enables specialized
capabilities embedded into devices that extend new service
offerings, differentiate, and drive growth. nPhase device-side
application software can be factory installed on approved devices
to enable advanced connectivity management, device and network
diagnostics and application development. nPhase is working with
CalAmp (Nasdaq: CAMP) to develop additional advanced enterprise
sensor management functionality, including a plug and play RS-232
serial MODBUS interface, into CalAmp broadband router products.
"We are pleased to be working with nPhase and see this as a
winning relationship for all parties involved," said Garo Sarkissian, CalAmp's vice president of
Corporate Development. "We believe nPhase ONE, in conjunction
with our versatile broadband router products, will set the stage
for a whole new generation of wireless connectivity."
For application developers, nPhase ONE provides Unified
Web Services and device-side application programming interfaces
(APIs) that automate the provisioning, monitoring and control of
wireless M2M devices, enable rapid development of complete sensor
monitoring solutions and provide access to the vast amount of
diagnostics data available through a diagnostic interface on
cellular modem chipsets for troubleshooting connectivity and
performance issues. This new advanced M2M functionality simplifies
the application development process, accelerates speed to market
and creates new possibilities for growth.
nPhase will be showcasing example partner capabilities with
Axeda Corporation (www.axeda.com), Sierra Wireless
(www.sierrawireless.com) and CalAmp (www.calamp.com), as well as
providing more details on the nPhase ONE developer program at CTIA
Wireless 2011, Booth #1675, M2M Zone Pavilion, March 22-24, 2011. Information also will be
