AIRLINK X PLATFORM CERTIFIED FOR USE ON BELL MOBILITY EVDO.Sierra Wireless, Vancouver, has announced that the AirLink PinPoint X and Raven X have been certified and are commercially available for use on Bell Mobility's high-speed EVDO Rev A network. These robust, wireless devices support the latest in high speed data technology and are backward compatible to both earlier EV-DO (EVolution-Data Only) A 3G high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers worldwide that use the CDMA technology, including Verizon and Sprint in the U.S. EV-DO works on EV-DO cellphones as well as laptops and portable devices that have EV-DO modems. and CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. 1X networks. The AirLink X Platform is designed to meet the needs of customers that require high-bandwidth wireless access to mobile broadband networks for applications as varied as fleet management, commercial wireless networking, remote monitoring, utilities, automation, and security. Compared to earlier models, the Raven X and PinPoint X offer increased system processing power to take full advantage of the network's faster data speeds, with expanded memory within an enhanced and scalable architecture. Customers will benefit from download speeds averaging 600 to 1.4 Mbps (megabits per second (unit) megabits per second - (Mbps, Mb/s) Millions of bits per second. A unit of data rate. 1 Mb/s = 1,000,000 bits per second (not 1,048,576). E.g. Ethernet can carry 10 Mbps. ) and upload speeds averaging 500 to 800 kbps (kilobits per second (unit) kilobits per second - (kbps, kb/s) A unit of data rate where 1 kb/s = 1000 bits per second. This contrasts with units of storage where 1 Kb = 1024 bits (note upper case K). ). As with all Sierra Wireless AirLink devices, the Raven X and PinPoint X are powered by ALEOS(TM) embedded intelligence and provide an always-aware, always-on connection. ALEOS simplifies integration by managing device connectivity, maintains a persistent network connection, and enables comprehensive remote device management via Sierra Wireless's tools and utilities. "Launching the AirLink X Platform devices on Bell Mobility's high speed mobile data network will enable us to offer customers exciting new solutions," said Justin Schmid, vice president of the Mobile and M2M M2M Machine-to-Machine (communication, mainly mobile) M2M Minutes to Midnight (Linkin Park album) M2M Mobile to Mobile (cellular phone) M2M Member-to-Member M2M Month to Month group for Sierra Wireless. "These highly intelligent devices will enable Bell Mobility clients to take advantage of a variety of powerful mobile data and wireless networking applications."
