Simcom Wireless and eDevice have partnered to provide the market with powerful GSM/GPRS modules with AT# Internet interface.

The collaboration between the two companies has resulted in the availability of eDevice’s packaged TCP/IP solution, including integrated email (POP3 / SMTP) & FTP clients and TCP & UDP sockets, in SIM305 and SIM345 modules manufactured by Simcom Wireless. For the first time in the wireless market, a Quad-band GSM/GPRS module will natively offer AT# commands making it easier and faster for OEMs to integrate TCP/IP enabled wireless connectivity.

The availability of TCP/IP technology in M2M applications enables significant reduction in both communication and development costs and delivers the benefits of using standard non-proprietary tools. The TCP/IP stack, driven through eDevice’s industry standard AT# interface, does not require external programming or drivers, is optimised in terms of size and functionality, and is considered by M2M developers as the best-of-breed solution.

“The decision to partner with eDevice was a natural one. eDevice has the best packaged TCP/IP solution in the M2M market and the way we have built this partnership which includes making the SIM305 and SIM345 AT# compatible allows Simcom Wireless to provide a unique product offering for M2M applications” adds Derick Tsang, General Manager of Simcom Wireless.
