Z-World Releases GPRS/GSM Application Kit to the Market.DAVIS Davis, city (1990 pop. 46,209), Yolo co., central Calif.; settled in the 1850s, inc. 1917. It is an education center with light industry; machinery, processed foods, and computer equipment are produced. The extensive Univ. , Calif. -- Z-World is pleased to announce the release of the GPRS/GSM Application Kit. The kit will allow machines the ability to notify a user when they need servicing; have their settings changed from anywhere in the world; upload data wirelessly; send commands from one machine to another; and send vehicle location/conditions via e-mail. The GPRS/GSM Application Kit is designed to integrate embedded controls with wireless GPRS/GSM communication applications. Z-World's GPRS/GSM Application Kit provides all the necessary tools to sample and develop applications that combine a Rabbit-based control device with a GSM/GPRS modem manufactured by Enfora, Inc. The libraries and sample programs allow for a device connected to the cellular network to send SMS (1) (Storage Management System) Software used to routinely back up and archive files. See HSM. (2) (Systems Management Server) Systems management software from Microsoft that runs on Windows NT Server. (text) messages to a RabbitCore module (RCM RCM Reliability-Centered Maintenance RCM Royal College of Music RCM Royal Conservatory of Music RCM Royal Canadian Mint RCM Reliability Centered Maintenance RCM Revenue Cycle Management RCM Regional Climate Model RCM Ring-Closing Metathesis ) that can interpret messages as commands and in turn execute control functions. The RCM can also send/receive GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) The first high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers that used the GSM technology. GPRS added a packet-switched channel to GSM, which uses dedicated, circuit-switched channels for voice conversations. e-mail wirelessly to/from any PC, GSM device, or cell phone. The LCD/keypad module included in the GPRS/GSM Application Kit incorporates a menu system that provides for an easy interface to read or send text messages and e-mail. Kit Applications include but are not limited to: Wireless automation and control, alarm and notification systems, 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 , data and event logging, machine communication, FTP FTP in full file transfer protocol Internet protocol that allows a computer to send files to or receive files from another computer. Like many Internet resources, FTP works by means of a client-server architecture; the user runs client software to connect to (File Transfer) Uploading, and Telnet, e-mail, and text messaging communications. The GPRS/GSM Application Kit includes Z-World's Dynamic C(TM) integrated development software with royalty-free TCP/IP stack and PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) The most popular method for transporting IP packets over a serial link between the user and the ISP. Developed in 1994 by the IETF and superseding the SLIP protocol, PPP establishes the session between the user's computer and the ISP using module along with quad band wireless modem and all supporting embedded system hardware. GPRS/GSM Application Kits are available to ship immediately with a price of $649. Other Application Kits available for purchase are the Wi-Fi (802.11b) Application Kit, Secure Embedded Web Application Kit, and the Serial to Ethernet Application Kit.

Z-World Founded in 1983, Z-World is a global provider of low-cost embedded control products, including single-board computers, operator interfaces, and core modules with Internet/Ethernet connectivity. In 1989, Z-World launched Dynamic C(R), the first integrated software development system specifically designed for embedded single-board computers. This highly successful integration of hardware and software substantially reduces development time and cost. In November 1999, Z-World launched a new division, Rabbit Semiconductor, a fabless semiconductor company A fabless semiconductor company specializes in the design and sale of hardware devices implemented on semiconductor chips. It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. specializing in high-performance microprocessors. Z-World and Rabbit Semiconductor are located in Davis, Calif., 70 miles east of San Francisco. |
