Prosoft to use Sierra ALEOS in cellular products

Sierra Wireless and Prosoft Technology have announced an initiative to offer industrial automation and control products through Prosoft's sales channels, consisting of more than 600 distributors.

Certified for use in hazardous environments, Sierra Wireless mobile and M2M devices have been workhorses in the utilities and automation industries for over a decade.

ALEOS-embedded intelligence simplifies integration and enables the devices to maintain an always-on, always-aware network connection, critical for real-time remote monitoring, configuration and logging.

Comprehensive remote management, via the Aceware software suite, ultimately lowers total cost of ownership by enabling customers to minimise field service calls.

Prosoft Technology offers over 600 products, supporting more than 60 industrial communication protocols and providing the expertise for customers looking to integrate and use cellular with their automation and control applications.

Deployment-ready options and integrated industrial protocol support make it easy for end- users to use Radiolinx industrial cellular products for remote process or OEM equipment monitoring, non-time-critical control for municipal and oil/gas Scada, and M2M applications.

The products are expected to be commercially available in the first quarter of 2009.

Kevin Zamzow, strategic product marketing manager for Prosoft Technology, said: 'ALEOS intelligence, rugged design and Class I Division 2 certification make these devices perfectly suited to the industrial automation market.'.
