RADIOCRAFTS/SIERRA WIRELESS UNVEIL OPEN METERING GATEWAY.Radiocrafts AS and Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :SWIR SWIR Short Wavelength Infrared SWIR Software Inspection Report ) have announced the launch of a GSM/GPRS/EDGE gateway for smart metering which embeds a Wireless M-Bus radio, compliant with OMS OMS - Opportunity Management System , in a very compact form factor. The new compact gateway is based on Sierra Wireless' Fastrack Supreme, a programmable application hosting platform with cellular modem capabilities and an open-standard interface for adding supplementary I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output connectivity and features in the form of expansion cards. Radiocrafts has developed a unique expansion card for smart metering which adds Wireless M-Bus or ZigBee to the GSM/GPRS/EDGE modem. A Radio Test Gateway firmware is available free of charge for developers to rapidly tailor the gateway with Multi Utility Controller (MUC MUC Mount Union College (Ohio) MUC Multi User Chat MUC Message Understanding Conference MUC Montreal Urban Community MUC Malaspina University College (Canada) ) features like data concentration, encryption key-distribution and installation support. Source code for the demonstration software is available from Radiocrafts and their partner Asvito. The OMS is Europe's only system definition with a uniform approach for all media (electricity, gas, heat and water, including sub-metering). Wireless M-Bus is used for the data transfer between the meters and the data concentrator/MUC. The communication from the MUC to the back-end system is based on IP standards. The Fastrack Supreme features a powerful central processing unit See CPU. (architecture, processor) central processing unit - (CPU, processor) The part of a computer which controls all the other parts. Designs vary widely but the CPU generally consists of the control unit, the arithmetic and logic unit (ALU), registers, temporary buffers with an ARM9 32 bit, 26-104 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. core, programmable via any combination of AT commands, C/C C/C Center to Center C/C Combustion Chamber C/C Command/Control C/C Crew Chief C/C cabin cruiser (US DoD) C/C chief complaint (medical) C/C Channel-to-Channel C/C Communication and Collaboration ++ and Lua. It supports Sierra Wireless' Intelligent Device Services which enable the remote monitoring and upgrade of meters in the field. Hallvard Moholdt, Technical Solutions Manager at Radiocrafts, commented: "We are happy to work with the dedicated team from Sierra Wireless on a solution which secures both companies' customers the first OMS enabled gateways. OMS represents an important step towards the harmonisation of future smart metering solutions, to the benefit of utilities and consumers alike." Pierre Piver, vice president Embedded and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and Sales at Sierra Wireless, added: "We are delighted to see how innovative companies like Radiocrafts are taking advantage of the creative opportunities offered by the Fastrack Supreme. We are proud to be able to offer the smart metering community the very first OMS compliant gateway on the market."
