CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading
provider of wireless products, services and solutions, today
announced the release of its new COLT-Enterprise cloud-computing
platform designed for rapid development and deployment of
large-scale, M2M wireless networks for enterprise applications.
"Knowledgeable enterprises recognize the value created by mobile
resource management applications through improved operating
efficiencies and profitability. However, developing and deploying a
reliable, wireless M2M network that connects and manages thousands
of remote monitoring and control devices, and that works seamlessly
with the business's existing software systems, is a complicated
proposition for most organizations," according to Mike Zachan, Vice
President and General Manager of CalAmp's Telemetric Systems
business.
CalAmp's COLT-Enterprise offering simplifies the creation and
integration of extensive wireless device networks, enabling
enterprises and M2M service providers to bring their solutions to
market faster and manage them more effectively and efficiently.
COLT-Enterprise delivers the complete range of wireless systems
management services, including:
- Device communications, airtime and network management
- Device provisioning and configuration
- User, group and attached-asset management
- Account and billing management
- Seamless interface with existing client IT systems
"Developing a viable M2M solution can be a multi-year,
multi-million dollar effort," Zachan noted, "and it is typically
marked by several failed attempts before the final system is
functional. COLT-Enterprise eliminates the risk, allowing
enterprises to focus on their application requirements and system
integration."
COLT-Enterprise features a comprehensive suite of web services
tools for creating and managing wireless device networks, all via a
web application program interface (API). This hosted, scalable
platform features a Class IV network operations center, redundant
servers, 24/7 system monitoring and other data protection and
security elements designed to ensure the integrity and availability
of the wireless device network.
In addition to experiencing a faster time to deployment,
COLT-Enterprise customers realize:
- Lower development costs
- Lower system maintenance costs
- Trouble-free implementation and ongoing management of connected
devices
- Complete wireless device and network control
The platform supports the full range of CalAmp's wireless
location and messaging units, as well as third-party wireless
communications devices. Among these cutting-edge wireless
location-and-communication products are CalAmp's newly introduced
Trailer Tracking Units, the TTU-700 and TTU-1200, as well as the
company's new high-speed 3G tracking device, the LMU-5000.
Industry analysts from Berg Insights project that worldwide
wireless M2M connections will grow from 81.3 million devices in
2010 to nearly 300 million devices in 2015. Provisioning,
configuring, monitoring and managing vast networks of these
connected devices is a monumental task that can be made easier with
COLT-Enterprise, Zachan noted.
