LEUVEN, Belgium – August 23, 2013 – Option (EURONEXT: OPTI; OTC: OPNVY),
the Company connecting Things to the Cloud, today announces completion
of Sprint certification for CloudGate
– a secure, reliable and affordable M2M 3G gateway that brings new
levels of flexibility and ease of deployment for M2M solutions.
CloudGate is now certified with the leading carriers in North America,
including AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, Telus and Bell Mobility.
The product is also compliant with FCC, PTCRB, IC, RoHS and REACH
standards.
All of the certifications were achieved with the same Stock Keeping Unit
(SKU) of CloudGate. Designed with the penta-band MDM6600™ chipset by
Qualcomm, the same CloudGate unit supports the multiple wireless
standards used by the major network operators in North America and can
be configured for any desired service provider. The radio firmware
needed for the desired service provider can be designated at the point
of installation. The hardware expansion boards and any custom software
for the embedded Linux operating system can also be easily installed at
the point of installation providing a true single SKU capability.
Jan Callewaert, CEO at Option said: “There’s nothing else like CloudGate
on the market today. The solution was developed as a direct result of
speaking with all the key players in the M2M ecosystem who needed a
reliable, value priced 3G gateway that reduced the amount of different
products and configurations that they were required to stock. This
enables them to add value through their own middleware and hosted
service platforms. CloudGate is a result of Option’s twenty years of
expertise in wireless technologies shipping over 14 million 3G devices
worldwide with very high reliability levels providing an exceptional
customer experience.”
CloudGate is an M2M solution that includes an intelligent M2M 3G
gateway, an open M2M application development environment and a cloud
based provisioning service. It meets all the market requirements for a
robust, secure, feature rich routing platform that will not let
customers down in the field.
Application Enablement Platform vendors and System Integrators creating
M2M solutions are faced with the challenge of very fragmented customer
requirements. CloudGate provides an extensible hardware and software
platform that allows them to tailor the product to meet the needs of
each customer reducing their time to solution, development costs and
increasing their addressable markets.
