The Wyless fixed IP SIM card provides UK wide coverage as well as the possibility of cross network overseas roaming and allows its customers to benefit from a range of diagnostic, management tools and consultation services.
"Wyless have taken the pain out of delivering GSM/GPRS applications.
Wyless can offer the specialist services that are vital when creating industrial M2M applications that other network providers are simply not able to deliver", said Alan Bollard, Managing Director Westermo UK.
The critical advantage of a fixed IP address is that it enables two way communication to remote devices whilst still taking advantage of the low cost that GSM/GPRS connectivity offers.
GSM/GPRS can effectively extend your network to remote sites and devices can be contacted as and when required.
Karl Ahmed, CEO of Wyless, added; "We are very happy that Westermo recognises the power of our SIM and network capabilities to underpin the guarantee of their modem products and services line-up.
The industry is ready for modem and device based solutions that are Wyless enabled and network ready upon deployment.
This is the real acid test for successful solution based partnerships within a dynamic but complex and demanding market." Wyless Plc is a mobile virtual network operator for data, providing simple, manageable and reliable global connectivity and access to wireless devices.
The company has built a partitioned carrier grade GPRS bearer service, networked with 154 mobile operators (worldwide) providing an enhanced network and associated services.
The Wyless unique network configuration provides enhanced connectivity and features more performance enhancements than any other cellular based operator.
This permits the simple provision of applications requiring capabilities such as fixed IP addressing, device-to-device connectivity, and improved security.
