EZURiO adds INTEGRITY to Wireless LAN
15/01/2008
|
Wireless LAN is
now a de facto feature in laptops and smartphones, but is still almost unknown
in embedded applications, where its potential for remote machine monitoring is
immense. That's largely due to the complexity of implementing the
drivers, networking stack and programming interface needed for 802.11 wireless
networking. The technology is daunting for embedded designers and
most machines simply don't have the processing power or operating system to make
it possible.
Today that
has changed, with the introduction of EZURiO's new embedded 802.11 modules that
make it easy for anyone to develop connected products.
EZURiO
Ltd already has a strong presence in the embedded Bluetooth market, where their
BISM modules, which integrates a full Bluetooth stack have become the product of
choice for many embedded designers. EZURiO decided to bring the
same ease of integration to wireless LAN, by designing a postage stamp sized
module that provides a complete 802.11 solution.
To
achieve this goal, EZURiO needed to find the most advanced embedded operating
system to support real-time events and customer programming abstraction. After a thorough market evaluation they chose the Green Hills
INTEGRITY and velOSity products. "In order to give
our customers simplicity, we needed to find a partner that could let us hide
complexity. Green Hills Software's comprehensive operating
systems, development tools, and middleware solution has enabled our R&D team
to construct powerful M2M (Machine To Machine) applications and create wireless
devices that are the first of their kind in terms of footprint, connectivity,
and manageability," commented Nick Hunn, Chief Technology Officer, EZURiO"EZURiO
is doing for its customers precisely what Green Hills' secure networking
platform does for innovators like EZURiO: provide a highly optimized technology
solution that enables end customers to deploy cutting edge products to market
faster and at the lowest possible manufacturing and development cost," commented
David Kleidermacher, chief technology officer, Green Hills Software.
The
close working relationship between EZURiO and Green Hills Software Research and
Development Teams, has enabled EZURiO to push the boundaries of capability of
embedded Wireless LAN modules. By embedding all the drivers, stacks and
programming capabilities required to implement Wireless LAN into one small
module EZURiO is effectively providing everything that is needed to run a
Machine 2 Machine (M2M) application, yet makes it simple enough to implement in
a matter of hours.
According to analysts Harbor Research, the M2M market
is about to explode. In a survey performed in September 2007, 60% of companies
surveyed claimed that they intend to embed network capabilities into half or
more of their products within the next three years. EZURiO's WISM modules
provide the power to help the industry attain these aggressive predictions.

| About
WiTS - A complete Telematics platform
WiTS is a real-time store and
forward telematics platform which EZURiO has built upon its WISM
technology. It's designed to handle real-time events and
communications, providing a platform for enterprise developers. With a requirement for very tight timing and control parameters it places
even more requirements on the Green Hills' INTEGRITY and velOSity
products. For fleet management application developers, the WiTS
platform combines inexpensive, intelligent vehicle data logging with an
end-to-end system that securely replicates the data with a hosted database. The
system provides an easy to deploy platform that is exciting a wide range of
fleet management and vehicle insurance companies, who are using it to build
their own enterprise applications. What they find particularly
attractive is that the WiTS platform offers a cellular-free 802.11 (Wi-Fi) data
transmission scheme that removes the cost of SIMs and network
subscriptions. |
