Aeris.net Surpasses 150,000 Wireless Devices On MicroBurst Network.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 28, 2002 Aeris.net(TM), the leading network provider for wireless telemetry telemetry Highly automated communications process by which data are collected from instruments located at remote or inaccessible points and transmitted to receiving equipment for measurement, monitoring, display, and recording. messaging, announced today that its MicroBurst mi·cro·burst n. A sudden, violent downdraft of air over a small area. Microbursts are difficult to detect and predict with standard weather instruments and are especially hazardous to airplanes during landing or takeoff. (R) network subscriber base has reached more than 150,000 units. Reaching the 150,000 unit threshold for commercial MicroBurst units marks an important milestone. Together with our industry-leading market partners, the developers who create MicroBurst applications, Aeris is bringing the security and efficiency benefits of wireless machine-to-machine communications to a broad and diverse market. Aeris's success is due both to continuing unit growth in the security and alarm monitoring market and to an increase in market demand for wireless mobile applications such as commercial fleet management. Overall, Aeris experienced a significant increase in unit deployment across all vertical markets in 2001. Poised for the future "Wireless communications wireless communications System using radio-frequency, infrared, microwave, or other types of electromagnetic or acoustic waves in place of wires, cables, or fibre optics to transmit signals or data. with devices of all kinds is just beginning to be broadly embraced," said Dick Gossen, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

Aeris continues to focus on its mission to be the leading network service provider for fixed and mobile wireless telemetry applications in the Western Hemisphere Western Hemisphere Part of Earth comprising North and South America and the surrounding waters. Longitudes 20° W and 160° E are often considered its boundaries. . How MicroBurst Works MicroBurst technology is a proprietary utility that enables short data packets to be transmitted over control channels in cellular networks using standard IS-41C signaling mechanisms. These short data packets are transmitted by cellular devices and are routed to the Aeris central hub facility over SS7 (Signaling System 7) networks. The Aeris hub routes the data for delivery to the application via one of several available transports, which include Internet, dial-up and dedicated connectivity. MicroBurst technology provides ubiquity of service and the lowest possible cost structure. All data distribution is handled by Aeris's central clearinghouse facility. This distribution strategy makes MicroBurst technology fully mobile and enables all MicroBurst devices to roam throughout North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. .
