Module said to speed M2M development

Sierra Wireless has launched what it says is the most advanced architecture for embedded wireless communications.

The AirPrime WP series modules are intended to simplify the development and deployment of M2M systems. They include a multicore processor that incorporates dedicated application cores, an advanced open application framework, development tools and built in connectivity. Olivier Pauzet, vp of marketing and market strategy for M2M, said: "The M2M market is fragmented, with a lot of complexity. It's increasingly hard for oems to add services and to develop technology that can stay in the market for a long time." AirPrime comprises a multicore processor, an open application framework and secure cloud services. The processor, which will include an applications core, will simplify design, said Pauzet, while the apps framework will offer a set of libraries and tools that will help developers to get products to market more quickly.
