AirLink Communications Launches Wireless Modems Operating on TELUS' Mike(R) Network.HAYWARD, Calif. -- Raven, Raven-E and PinPoint intelligent modems to provide mobile connectivity using iDEN technology throughout multiple industries in Canada AirLink Communications, Inc., a pioneer and leading provider of fixed and mobile wireless data solutions, today announced the availability of iDEN intelligent modems. Operating on TELUS' Mike network, the Raven, Raven-E and PinPoint modems - powered by ALEOS(TM), AirLink's proprietary intelligent embedded operating system An operating system used in special-purpose applications (embedded systems). Embedded operating systems are typically very compact and often designed for real time operations. See embedded Linux, QNX, OS-9, Windows XP Embedded, Windows CE, VxWorks and Symbian OS. - are designed for the Mike network leveraging the robust feature set of Motorola's iO200 iDEN Embedded Module. The AirLink iDEN intelligent wireless modems enable real-time remote monitoring (protocol) remote monitoring - (RMON) A network management protocol that allows network information to be gathered at a single computer. Whereas SNMP gathers network data from a single type of Management Information Base (MIB), RMON 1 defines nine additional MIBs that provide a and pervasive connectivity to fixed and mobile assets for countless business and industrial applications. With the completion of the iDEN certification, the entire range of AirLink products are now available on both TELUS' Mike and PCS (1) (Personal Communications Services) Refers to wireless services that emerged after the U.S. government auctioned commercial licenses in 1994 and 1995. This radio spectrum in the 1. digital wireless networks. This includes AirLink's 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 modems and the recently announced certification of the Raven-E and PinPoint-E on 3G EVDO technology. "We are pleased to be the first-to-market with forward-compatible solutions to iDEN networks that deliver secure, reliable wireless data communications data communications, application of telecommunications technology to the problem of transmitting data, especially to, from, or between computers. In popular usage, it is said that data communications make it possible for one computer to "talk" with another. ," remarked Justin Schmid, senior vice-president of marketing and business development for AirLink Communications. "With the addition of AirLink's iDEN technology, AirLink now supports all key wireless applications in Canada, giving us a significant advantage over the competition.

The AirLink Raven is a powerful and versatile communications device designed for complex mobile data and remote asset management applications, including 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. , SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) A process control application that collects data from sensors and machines on the shop floor or in remote locations and sends them to a central computer for management and control. , intelligent transportation, utility management, remote monitoring, and homeland security. Certified as Class I Division II, the Raven is rated intrinsically safe and suitable for use in hazardous environments. The Raven-E provides advanced networking features for private or public IP NAT (Network Address Translation) An IETF standard that allows an organization to present itself to the Internet with far fewer IP addresses than there are nodes on its internal network. , GRE/IP-SEC pass through, DHCP server and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. management. The Raven-E is the perfect solution for any device with an Ethernet connection that requires pervasive connectivity including PCs, routers, network equipment and POS/ATMs as well as commercial automation equipment. Combining the rich, location-based intelligence with an embedded, high precision GPS receiver, the PinPoint provides a cost-effective and robust platform for countless mobile workforce and asset tracking applications. Tightly integrated with the AirLink Tracking System and other third-party tracking applications, the PinPoint is a flexible and scalable communications platform for many location-based and mobile data solutions.
