Information Technology -Sympac Unveils M2M Solution for Multinationals


Sympac has release an international M2M (machine-to-machine) service especially for multinational companies. This service is backed by Jasper Wireless (News - Alert), which operates a one-stop shop for wireless operators, enterprises, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and solution providers who want to capitalize on a world of connected devices.
 
M2M is the exchange of data between a remote machine and a back-end IT infrastructure. The transfer of data can be two-way by uplinking to collect product and usage information and then downlinking to send instructions or software updates.
 
In the past, the high cost of deploying M2M technology made it the exclusive domain of large organizations that could afford to build and maintain their own dedicated data networks. Today, the widespread adoption of cellular technology has made wireless M2M technology available to manufacturers all over the world.
 
According to Sympac, International M2M service enables multinationals to use a single global SIM to connect and manage their M2M equipment through the Sympac M2M Control Center. With this there will be clarity in management option with real time monitoring.
 
Sympac claims to provide the customers with one contract and one bill, which makes management simpler, allows multinationals to reduce costs. It is aiming to cover 55 countries throughout Europe and the Americas. The cost of the SIM will remain same regardless of the country it is located with auto-provisioning process and free instant connectivity makes it possible to perform factory tests and automatic activation. This eliminates the usual costs for the testing and activation of equipment, further reducing total costs.
 
Kim Bybjerg, Marketing & Sales director of Sympac stated that “Multinationals make increasing use of M2M. With the services of our Control Center, we meet the demand of multinationals for transparency, simplicity and control. The simplicity of the Jasper Wireless service platform integrates flawlessly into our existing products suite. They make it possible to use a single global SIM, and their M2M expertise enables them to provide coverage in every country within Sympac’s growing European network.”

Through our service platform we can achieve that goal for every client. We are proud to be working with Sympac in helping them meet the growing demand for M2M services in Europe.”
