and writes, “Telit has emerged as the main challenger
in the European wireless modules market with their
aggressive growth strategy.”
We are constantly working to expand our position and
anchor ourselves at the top of the market by 2010, so
our course is set for growth.
Reliability & StabilityThe m2m market is currently in a state of flux. Sony
Ericsson has been swallowed up by Wavecom; nPhase
has been bought by Qualcomm, and there is unease
in the Siemens camp as well. It is no real surprise
that m2m customers all over the world are feeling
unsettled, looking for long-term partners who can
assure stable collaboration and most importantly,
investment security – both of which Telit can
provide in abundance. This is because the Telit brand
represents many years of experience in the mobile
communications market, innovative products and
comprehensive support.
The main reason for this stability and reliability is
our total commitment to the m2m market—we have
always kept our finger on the pulse of the market. After
all, one of the key guiding principles of our business
is to treat customers as partners and work with them
on an equal footing. Telit has grown up with the m2m
market, so we understand our customers’ needs.
One of the greatest challenges for our clients is that
product development cycles are becoming shorter
while increasing competition is forcing them to
exercise strict control over costs. This means that cost
of ownership and investment security are of utmost
importance. Telit guarantees to design each product
with these two factors in mind. Our Telit-developed
platform concept includes future-proof modules
that can be replaced with successor models with a
minimum of effort. Applications can be used for years
without becoming old and obsolete.
Leading the way in m2mOur belief in state-of-the-art technology means we
are committed to offering the most advanced and
cutting-edge modules available in the marketplace.
In the spring of 2006, for example, Telit introduced
the GE864, the world’s smallest quad-band GSM/GPRS
module, becoming one of the first solutions providers
to address the increasing mobility of m2m devices. We
were also one of the first suppliers to develop modules
combining the GSM/GPRS and GPS technologies of
market leader SIRF in a sub-compact footprint. These

With over 570 combined years of experience in GSM/
GPRS product development, the skilled team at our
Trieste, Italy R&D center is one of our most valuable
assets. We also opened an R&D center in Sardinia, Italy,
and acquired another in Seoul, Korea with proven
experience in CDMA technology. The Telit team in
Seoul will be targeting product development, focusing
on CDMA. Because of this extensive R&D structure, we
can offer a unique, complete portfolio of GSM/GPRS
and CDMA products exceeding client expectations
with fast customization capabilities and superior
technical support.
These R&D teams on two continents share the same
methodologies, rules and development tools to
guarantee consistent product quality. To optimize
R&D results, we have decided to coordinate the GSM
development team in Italy with the CDMA team in
Korea. The CC864-DUAL (CDMA) will be first m2m
module designed in Korea and defined in Italy to be
compatible with GC864, meeting the same mechanical
and electrical specifications. Every application
designed for GC864-QUAD will also be able to use the
CC864, with a few firmware adaptations, and will serve
both markets. Within the Telit roadmap, in addition to
the CDMA and GSM/GPRS products, there is also a 3G
module: the UC864, which is a truly global project with
both R&D centers contributing to its development
and testing. This project will take advantage of the
different experiences of both teams to shorten time-
to-market and improve overall product quality.
We believe that continuing GPRS or CDMA product
development is not enough. Customers are using
more and more technologies and functions within
applications and need to cut development time to win
business opportunities.
For this reason, we have decided to create a new R&D group in Cagliari, Italy, specifically to integrate the short range wireless technologies into Telit products and to offer top-notch customer support.
The first order of business will be to generate a set
of wireless “non cellular” modules to be used within
all applications requiring short range connectivity.
Bluetooth and Zigbee solutions will be addressed,
but other technologies will follow. All these products
will be qualified and tested in combination with Telit
cellular devices, offering a drop-in solution, and ready
to be implemented.
The second order of business will be to respond to
specific Telit customer requests. We consider our
development process a crucial part of customer
development. Telit teams are already offering technical
services for application design, but we want to grow
in this field. The R&D team in Cagliari will be focused
on customer design support and will leverage from all
experiences gained in Trieste and Seoul for product
development.
The combination of these high-level Telit R&D centers
means that we can now offer our customers the highest
level of technical, marketing, development and design
support services in the world.
are obvious – a faster market launch, no repeat testing
and no additional costs.
Advantages in black and whiteWe have enveloped all these USPs in a “seal of approval”.
To the outside world, this seal vouches for Telit’s
superlative qualities. At the same time, it acts as an
incentive for our staff worldwide to optimize our
products and services even further.
Our successes in the market confirm that our strategy
is the right one. For instance, Falcom Wireless
Communications, a market leader in wireless
communications solutions, has relied on Telit as its
strategic partner since August 2006. Our GSM / GPRS
modules will be the core components of its innovative
solutions. Beyond global players like Falcom are numerous
other smaller, specialist companies that rely on Telit,
including the Swiss firm Sensile, which specializes in
telemetry solutions for the remote monitoring of gas
tanks. We offer our customers exactly what they need. It is
with this strategy that we will be expanding our position
further on the m2m market. We are doing this because
we do not want to stand still. We are constantly working
towards optimizing our portfolio of m2m modules and
services – both for and with our customers.

… Telit plans to extend our “family of
products” with new product introductions
throughout the coming year.
The CC864-Dual – A new dual band CDMA
1x module for global markets, packaged in
Telit’s CC family form factor. The CC864-
Dual is pin-to-pin compatible with the
GC864 Quad, GSM/GPRS engine.
The UC864-Tri – A new HSDPA/UMTS/EDGE/GPRS module covering
all cellular frequency bands (3 UMTS + 4 GPRS/EDGE). This module
is pin-to-pin compatible with the other modules of the 864 family.
The new modules of the 864 family will enable our customers to
easily convert existing designs based on GC864 to CDMA or UMTS
or to launch new designs configurable to all cellular technologies.
Look to Telit to introduce additional new advanced embedded
features in 2007.
These include:
OTA – Over The Air Firmware Update. This new feature will
enable upgrade of module firmware over the air. This capability
is extremely important for applications deployed in large
volumes and for long periods. The OTA will be embedded as a
standard feature in all our products.
Python – Introduction of the GE863-PY Plus. This product offers
enhanced Python functionalities and superior computing power
or for user applications. This product can be used as a standalone,
eliminating the need for an additional controller and optimizing
application costs.
GPS – All the products with embedded GPS functionality will be
offered with reduced power consumption. This will improve the
performance of battery operated applications.
Telit is continuously adding features and functionalities to the
product line. Many of these new features are the direct result of
customer requests and inputs.
“We listen. We respond. We innovate.”

In the previous edition of telit2market Magazine, we described the three major technical advan-
tages of the Telit product line.The family concept: maintaining form, fit and functionality across
all families of products. The scalable portfolio: creating different form factors for different seg-
ments. The special features: embedded into all products offering unique functionalities.
In 2007 our product evolution continues …

TELIT Software architectureTelit´s software architecture consists of three layers
that manage communication between the protocols
and the hardware: signalling, application, and the
application interface. The separation between these
layers allows the software programs to work in parallel,
providing the source code, documentation and test
results for integration.
The Telit GSM/GPRS software platform is written
in C language, except for the critical modules that
manage the processor initialization and time-critical
interrupts, which are written in Assembler.
The software is organized as individual tasks running
under the control of the OS. Each task represents a
GSM/GPRS entity.
Layer 1 has a portable section, which can run on
any hardware (high-level drivers), and a hardware
dependent part (low-level drivers), which depends
on the chipset used. This layer handles two tasks – an
interrupt-driven highest-priority task, responsible for
real-time operation. It is driven by framer interrupt at a
rate of 4.16 ms with driver supports from dual-band up
to fourth-band configuration and up to class 10 GPRS.
The second task is a message-handling and action-
scheduling task of the Layer L1. The design principles
for Layer 1 are summarized below:
• Reduce frequency of inter-task messages
• Minimize copying of information both
within tasks and between them
• Minimize number of tasks and interrupts
• Minimize use of dynamically allocated memory
• Minimize hard real-time processing
within the frame
• Minimize overall use of memory, particularly ROM
• Minimum code complexity
The implementation of the Telit Protocol Stack
(PS) closely follows the ideas presented in GSM
Recommendation 04.07. This recommendation
suggests that the PS should be implemented as a
number of independent ‘entities’, modeling-state
machines, which communicate each other using
“primitives”. Telit PS chooses to implement the entities
of GSM 04.07 as prioritized tasks running under a pre-
emptive multitasking real-time operating system. The
primitives are messages passed between these tasks.
The advantage here is that real-time constraints
become manageable. Assigning priorities to the tasks
according to the crisis times associated with the
entities ensures that the PS runs correctly, provided
there is enough computing power available to meet the
most critical crisis times. Although GSM 04.07 contains
entity diagrams, these present only a coarse view of
the underlying entities. As with most descriptions
of communication protocols, the descriptions are
simplistic and possibly misleading. In practice, the
entity’s state is augmented with stored information.
In general Telit PS entities have the notion of state
variable, which correspond, to a much finer grain of
state than those presented in GSM recommendations.
This is always augmented with the entities’ private
data. The use of private data to augment the state
machine information also forces the state machine to
be a programmed one.
Software development in Telit is not confined to the
2/2.5/3 G protocols but also includes the development
of application tools and most importantly the
capability to analyze and help in the design of the
application software. In this area Telit´s top-notch
customer service kicks in, and we can follow and assist
customers through their design and development
process in all m2m applications.
Wherein the request is analyzed by an
interdisciplinary team with its feasibility and
process time disussed with the client. At the end of
the development cycle, the customized modification
might be introduced and accepted into our main
software family, which would benefit all other
customers, or it might remain as a separate software
variant. As of today, many of our satisfied customers
have taken advantage of this procedure, and every day
we receive customer-requested CCR´s that might end
up as part of our product line.

all balls are reflowed on the module being removed.
In general, preheat the entire board to a minimum
of 85°C to avoid large temperature differentials and
potential board warpage. In terms of the equipment
and tools available, hand-held as well as automatic hot
gas rework systems with vacuum suction have been
developed for BGA removal. First, position the nozzle
around the component and apply heat from the top
side using the rework profile developed. Finally, remove
the component using a vacuum tip. Do not attempt to
remove a partially reflowed component from a board
by prying it off, as this could damage the component
and potentially destroy the board.
1.3 Site PreparationAfter the reworked module has been removed, some
excess solder might remain on the board. The excess
solder can be removed using a vacuum desoldering
system or a soldering iron with a solder wick. Special
care must be taken to avoid damaging the solder mask
material and the solder pads. As a final step, alcohol can
be used with a brush to clean the rework area. Allow the
board to dry and inspect to ensure a clean solderable
surface. The specific steps used here can be different
from board to board. As a minimum, the removal of
the excess solder is an essential requirement.
1.4 Solder Past ApplicationThere are several options available to apply the solder
paste to the component site. The application PCB can
be screened with paste prior to placement, or solder
paste or flux can be dispensed directly onto the site.
1.5 BGA Placement and ReflowThe next step is to replace the module on the board.
The replacement module should be baked prior to
assembly to the board if the component has been

Telit TTSC & TelION AG of Switzerland organize m2m SeminarGPRS/GSM and GPS – You come across these
technologies in daily life all day long when using your
mobile phone or when being guided by a navigation
system. More and more, these technologies are
migrating into industrial and professional applications
for machine-to-machine (m2m) connectivity. This
growing interest has been manifested by the ever-
growing attendanceat m2m seminars, conferences
and trade shows.
Recently, Telit helped organize an m2m conference in
Zurich, featuring speakers from ICOM, the Institute for
Communications, Telion and Telit. Attendees enjoyed
comprehensive insights into the field of cellular
wireless communications and received an up-to-the-
minute appreciation of the m2m marketplace.
After a short introduction about the history and the
state of the art of cellular wireless communication
systems, Heinz Mathis from ICOM and his colleague
Guido Schuster gave an overview of the most popular
communication protocols (TCP. UDP and IP) used in
wireless m2m communications systems. As in many
mobile applications, such as fleet management and
personal security, Global Satellite Navigation (GPS,
Galileo) combined with wireless communication is
the latest “must-have.“ Professor Mathis explained
the principles of satellite navigation and the status
of the Galileo project, noting that various application
scenarios like AMR (automatic meter reading), point-
of-sale terminals or fleet management systems each
imposed different requirements about how data is
sent, either via SMS, CSD or GPRS.
Telit’s Max Lonzar presented the company’s product
portfolio and pointed out that a consistent and reliable
product portfolio was the key to life cycles in the m2m
markets, which are much longer than the technology
life cycles in the wireless industry. The presentation of
application examples gave an interesting insight into
today’s use of wireless cellular and satellite navigation
technologies. The possibility of establishing data
communication with assets, vehicles and goods
without wired installations at any time and any place
will further generate new applications and markets.
The technology and products are ready!
Swiss Telemetry leader Sensile Relies on TTSCSwiss sensor and telemetry-system leader Sensile
Technologies now relies on the GE863-PY module from
Telit. This powerful and compact GSM/GPRS module
from the multinational m2m specialist will be used
in remote measuring stations for liquid-gas tanks.
The initial order comprises a total of 12,000 modules.
The deciding factors in choosing Telit were the unique
BGA installation concept and Python capability of
the GE863-PY combined with the excellent technical
support offered by the company. The GSM-based LPG-
SENTSTM remote measuring station from Sensile
Technologies is a maintenance-free system which
autonomously monitors the fill level of liquid-gas
tanks. In order to ensure reliable m2m communication,
Sensile Technologies has chosen to use the tried-and-
tested GE863-PY quad-band GSM/GPRS module from
Telit. Telit offers the best possible solution for Sensile
Technologies.
Successful cooperationIn addition to Telit’s outstanding technical know-how,
Sensile also knows it can count on their comprehensive
product support. M2m specialist Telit offers a high level
of support during the product development phase as
well as direct support when the modules are integrated
into customer end units. Sensile Technologies used
Telit’s own laboratories to test its telemetry unit and
prepare it for the official EMC certification procedure.
“We are very pleased with our choice. We were
impressed with the technical performance of the
GE863-PY, and Telit provided excellent support
during the product development stage. That kind
of support is rare and would certainly benefit other
companies,“ said Cédric Morel, Managing Director
Sensile Technologies AG.
“In terms of the module’s rapid integration, the GE863-
PY BGA concept from Telit offered a major advantage
over the systems of other providers. This was a crucial
deciding factor for us,“ added Morel. “We were also
won over by the m2m module’s Telit-specific Python
feature.“ With Python, users can develop simple
software applications and run these directly on the
module with no external microcontroller.

Python watchdogA watchdog timer is a built-in software function that
performs an automatic system reboot in case the
main Python program neglects to regularly service
the watchdog. It has an implemented counter with a
timeout that is measured in seconds and can be set
individually. Telit introduced the watchdog feature to
protect the system from blocked scripts by performing
a software restart and bringing it automatically back to
the normal state.
Power savingThis function allows Python to put the system in a
power-saving mode for a customer-determined period
of time. The Python script will remain blocked until
the timeout, measured in seconds, is reached, or when
an external event occurs.
MDM
MDM is the most important interface that allows Python script to send and receive data from the network during connections. It is similar to the standard serial port in-terface of the Telit module. The difference is that this interface is not a real serial port but rather an internal software bridge between Python and the engine hand-ling the internal AT commands.
SeR
This interface allows a Python script to read and write to the real physical serial port ASC0. When Python is running, this serial port is available for communication between Python script and an external device, since it’s not being used as AT command interface.
GpiO
GPIO interface is between Python and General Purpose Input/Output of the mobile device that permits direct control over the pins.
MOD
This interface is between Python and miscellaneous functions of the module such as sleep and counter.

Python debugging tool for GPS modules/MultiplexerTelit offers two GPS modules, the GM862-GPS and the GE863-GPS, that
enable the development of cost-optimized applications through the
combination of GSM/GPRS and Python as well as GPS. The integrated
Python software allows clients to customize their application to send
information in real-time regarding GPS position via GSM/GPRS. To make
the use of Python easier a special tool helps to perform Python debugging
on GPS modules. This tool uses the CMUX (Converter-Multiplexer) feature
implemented on the Telit modules. The multiplexer mode creates four
virtual channels on one serial interface and permits the transmission of
data to four different applications. This makes it possible to run a Python
script and at the same time use CMUX on ASC0 with the following division
of channels:
• first CMUX port is reserved for SER module
(communication with serial port)
• second CMUX port is available for AT
command handling or MDM2 interface
• third CMUX port is available for AT command handling
• fourth CMUX port is dedicated for Python debug data
How does it work?To perform the debugging of the Python script you first need to establish
a connection on the virtual port with Telit’s unique Serial Port MUX
tool for Windows (see photo above). When this Telit tool is activated all
you need to do is power on the module and the debug info will appear
automatically in the window of the terminal emulator application you’ve
chosen (e.g. Hyper terminal).
Coming Soon:
GPS interface(for GPS products only) A new interface between Python and an internal
GPS controller developed to handle a GPS controller directly with a
Python script and without using any dedicated AT commands.
MDM2 interfaceThe second interface between Python and internal AT command
handling, necessary for sending AT commands from a Python script to a
mobile device and receiving AT responses when the other interface with
this role, standard MDM, is already in use
SER2 interface(for non-GPS products only) The new interface between Python and
internal serial port ASC1 for direct handling. It is used for sending data
from a Python script to the serial port ASC1 and receiving data from the
serial port ASC1. In this way the Python application has access to two
serial ports ASC1 and ASC0 (with standard SER interface).

supporting different wireless technologies that
incorporate WLAN, Bluetooth, ZigBee and GSM modules.
We’ve found that the Telit GSM/GRPS modules are
robust, reliable and fast to employ for the customers.”
Järveläinen sees Telit’s Python as revolutionizing the
telemetry business by creating an effective link between
device providers, service providers, and end customers.
“The Telit modules in the I/O device hardware make
customization easy, and Python software enablers
make it easier for system providers to develop
additional applications and provide good support.”
Tampere University of Technology’s (TUT) Institute
of Automation and Control (ACI) has been testing Telit
GPRS and Python in the laboratory, with promising
results. “Telit’s Python Easy Script feature has enabled us
to easily integrate a web server, an SMS server and control
functionalities into our demo application, using a high-
level programming language,” says Research Assistant
Tom Hannelius of ACI’s Automation and Information
Networks research group. “The next step will be to utilize
Telit’s Over-The-Air update feature to enable remote
updating of the software (see page 62 in this Magazine).
Further plans include a user interface that can function
on top of the web server, providing a means to control
the application, upload scripts, and run diagnostics,”
to control heating systems remotely. When they hit
the road out of town, cottagers can ensure a warm
reception by sending a simple SMS text message
or using a GPRS web application to switch on their
cottage’s electric heaters.
According to Järveläinen, operators’ GPRS pricing and
Telit Easy GPRS already makes it easy to move from
SMS to web-based GPRS control systems, since remote
control systems can be effectively run at a low cost.
“m2m Platforms has supervised the development
of an IOFP GSM-controlled device that can measure
analog inputs from a thermocouple monitoring room
temperature, or digital inputs from surveillance
sensors that detect movement, and then relay outputs
to control heaters or other electrical appliances,”
explains Järveläinen. “GSM devices and applications
can be effectively controlled using Telit’sGE863-PY.”
Flexible enablers in hardware and software“We see modular design in electronics as a key factor
in our methodology and competence, because of
advantages in time-to-market, design reusability and
project manageability. Such wireless modules are
the best solutions for our equipment manufacturing

luxury. There are about half a million holiday homes
scattered around the country’s vast forests, often in
beautiful lakeside locations. Finns typically spend
their long summer holidays in their cottages, and also
try to head into their own neck of the woods for the
weekend whenever possible at other times of year.
But since many city-dwellers have to travel for long
distances to get to their rural retreats, gaining remote
control over a remote holiday home can have many
advantages.
“Finland is a good market for telemetry solutions for
holiday homes, since so many people have a second
home they like to escape to in the forest, and Finns are
very open to new technologies,” says Kari Järveläinen
of m2m Platforms, a Finnish firm specializing in
supporting the integration and development of Telit
in various telemetry devices and systems.
Second homes in out-of-the-way locations are
becoming better equipped for telecommuting and
year-round use. This makes them more vulnerable to
burglary or water or storm damage, so the demand for
remote surveillance systems is rising.

Which Telit module is used and why?“GE863-PY: GPRS and PYTHON –we appreciate Telit’s innovative attitude and excellent support.” Mr. Kari Järveläinen, CeO, m2m Platforms ltd.
Telemetry can make life much more convenient for people who run two homes. There
is great potential demand for such systems in countries like Finland, where many
families regularly move between their city homes and holiday cottages.

GT863-PY
Improving already-successful technology is a challenge. With the
new GT863 terminal, Telit has built on its well-known EZ10 to keep the
form factor and electrical interface while improving performance of
the GSM engine. The new GT863-PY continues to build on the success
of Telit’s terminal products.
Inheriting the rugged aluminium frame of the EZ10-PCS and EZ10
QUAD-PY, the GT863-PY is an RoHS compliant and quad-band product
retaining full compatibility with all components, with a new GSM
engine inside based on the successful GE863-PY. This improvement
further increases the product’s reliability since the former board-to-
board connector is no longer included. The GT863-PY also uses Telit’s
unique ball-grid-array (BGA) mounting technology.
The GT863-PY is controlled by AT commands, according to the ETSI
GSM 07.07 and 07.05, and the connection to the host controller (Data
Terminal Equipment – DTE) is established through an RS232 standard
port. This port is also used for bi-directional data transfer. The GT863-
PY can sense hot removal of the SIM, and boasts a higher upload speed
for the GPRS Class 10 Packet Data transfer.
EASY GPRS®
The GT863-PY embeds a TCP/IP stack and DNS query protocol. The
static and dynamic IP allocation, PPP and UDP as well as FTP client
are supported. The system integrator merely needs to add the Telit
proprietary AT commands to establish a TCP/IP connection through
the GPRS network.
EASY FREQUENCY SCAN®
The GT863-PY also includes a dedicated set of AT commands to scan
all the GSM channels, reporting all available parameters. Therefore
the GSM network coverage at the location of the GT863-PY terminal
can be examined even without an inserted SIM to select the provider
with the best field strength, the most channels or base transceiver
stations and to optimize the antenna position.
EASY SCRIPT®
The GT863-PY includes a dedicated set of AT commands to run
scripts in Python language within the module, allowing stand alone
operations. By using this feature, the script inside the module interacts
with the external interface, reading external sensors connected to the
general purpose I/O on the RJ11 connector.
JAMMING DETECTION and REPORT
The Telit GT863-PY offers jamming detection and report functionality,
which allows the unit to detect attempts to discontinue GSM
communication by interfering with the GSM radio signal. The
“jammed” status is reported as an unsolicited message through the
AT command interface on the RS232 connection.

The SIM Access Profile (SAP) defines a protocol and related
procedures that allow access to a remote SIM card through the
serial port or through additional hardware such as Bluetooth.
Through this protocol a user can, for example, access the phone
book or other information in his or her handheld mobile phone’s
SIM card when using another mobile device such as a car phone.
The basic system configuration includes a SAP client implemented
in the module, and a SAP server implemented in the handheld
phone. The SAP server has the phsysical connection to the SIM and
acts as a SIM card reader. It supports the SAP Client in accessing and
controlling the SIM card. The SAP client accesses the information
and services contained in the SIM as if it were directly connected to
to the SIM , in the GSM module. This feature allows the registration
of the module in the GSM network using all the subscription
information stored in the SIM. It is also possible to access the phone
book or make a call from the SAP client using the information held
in the SIM. This feature is available through the use of a special AT
command on a virtual port of the CMUX interface.

At what stage is your company in implementingm2m technology ?

TeliTSTORY
shows a major rise in the number of companies who say
they are currently involved in active implementations
of the technology. On the other hand, the number
who say they are still researching m2m is declining.
This indicates that more companies are recognizing
the potential business value of machine-to-machine
technology and are finding cost effective means to put
it to work. M2M, both the term and the technology,
is inherently evangelical. Its purpose is to make com-
panies aware of a core set of technology components
available to help network machines and other assets.
m2m is creating a new value proposition for companies
who want to respond to customer demands in a timely
manner. While companies may differ widely from
industry to industry, machine-to-machine technology
is the common thread that runs through them.
Take m2m away, though, and what’s left are dozens
and dozens of applications for automating business
processes involving networking physical assets. The
job of technology providers is to use generic
components to develop systems tailored to the specific
needs of an industry, whether it’s metering, telematics,
fleet management, healthcare, or even monitoring
vending machines and information displays.
Although it might be considered simple, the next
chasm m2m has to overcome is bridging platform
components with application systems so end users
can adopt the technology the way analysts have
predicted. Understanding the power and depth of
m2m requires a deeper look into how machine-to-
machine information is being accessed and adopted.

Telit APAC’s headquarters in Korea make it an ideal R&D
site considering that the most advanced CDMA networks
and applications are deployed there by operators such as
SK Telecom, KT Freetel and LG Telecom, all of whom are
strong promoters of data applications not only in the
Korean market but also in their other CDMA network
deployments throughout Asia. SK Telecom and KT Freetel
are currently deploying WCDMA/HSDPA networks and
plan to achieve a nationwide coverage by the end 2007. LG
Telecom is currently rolling out CDMA-EVDO Revision A on
its network. Together these rollouts will make it uniquely
possible for Telit APAC to utilize live commercial networks
to test its new global products right from inside its R&D
labs, thus reducing development costs and time.
With the integration of Telit APAC, the company launched
its “unified platform” concept. A standard form factor
and software interfaces which extends across GSM/GPRS,
CDMA, and WCDMA. With it, customers can easily select
from a range of radio interface technologies, adapted
to different markets and networks while designing
and testing their solution platforms to only one set of
specifications. If designed for the “unified platform”, a
customer solution running under GSM/GPRS networks
can be easily upgraded to run under CDMA and WCDMA
with little or no effort required in modifying the existing
solution, and vice versa. Customers can expand their
businesses easily and quickly to new markets.
Asia Pacific is a vital place in the global economy,
particularly for high-tech industries such as
telecommunications. This represents a great growth
potential for the m2m market. Telit APAC will remain in its
leadership position in the region as it becomes a gateway
to helping customers introduce their solutions to global
markets and to develop new business with partners in the
region.

The Korean Cellular LandscapeKorea has been the test–bed for the most advanced use
of CDMA technology since commercial launch in 1��6.
The country currently has three network operators
and 40 million CDMA subscribers out of a population
of 48 million people. Most handsets are EVDO (high
speed data) capable and MMS (Multimedia Messaging)
ready with built-in high-resolution cameras, which
make them ideal platforms to take advantage of the
high-speed data capacity in the system.
Early adoption of this high-speed data capability has
caused the Korean market to focus on non-voice, data-
centric applications such as SMS, mobile e-mail, WEB
surfing, and multimedia content download services.
The Korean CDMA networks experienced quicker
evolution than other markets in response to robust
demand for these high data rates. It took less than five
years for cellular operators to move from CDMA IS-
�5A/B to 1xRTT (2.5G) and subsequently to EVDO (3G)
which was fully deployed nationwide by 2004 with 2
Mbit/sec downlink speeds. That enabled businesses
in streaming video, MP3 music download, and live
TV broadcasting, to evolve at a much faster pace than
other markets around the world bound by the lower
speeds of GSM/GPRS.
Who is Telit APAC ?Telit APAC was created in June 2006 with the acquisition
of the m2m division of Bellwave Co. Ltd., the m2m market
leader in Korea since 2000 when it was the first to launch
a CDMA 1X data modem. Bellwave m2m products were
integrated in a variety of applications including PDA
devices for industrial use, wireless POS terminals,
Telit APAC’s mission is twofold: first to continue the
development of CDMA and WCDMA products for
regional and global markets; and second to aggressively
extend marketing, sales and technical support services
into all Asia Pacific markets including China, Japan,
South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Telit APAC
is based in Seoul, Korea and is in the process of setting
up offices in Hong Kong (China), Taiwan, and Southeast
Asia to better support customers in the region.

Four questions for Roger Dewey
What gets you out of bed every morning?
I really care about this industry. My favorite part about
my job and the m2m space in general is that it is not
isolated to one individual segment. When I was working
for Ericsson in the Systems Division, I only worked with
mobile phone operators and service providers. Working
in m2m gives me a totally new experience every day. In the
morning I might be working with a fleet management
company and in the afternoon I may be working with
a company that owns and operates vending machines.
Each of these companies has totally different business
challenges and it is a great feeling to know that we have
the solutions to help them as well as many other types
of businesses. Every day I learn something new about
an industry in which I had no previous experience. It’s
always very stimulating and always educational.
With the launch of Telit Wireless Solutions, Inc., Telit
brings its acclaimed machine-to-machine (m2m)
tecnologies to the Americas.
Under the leadership of the internationally recognized
m2m expert Roger Dewey, Telit Wireless Solutions
gains a new President and CEO who is known, and
highly recognized in the cellular module industry.
Roger Dewey will be responsible for establishing
United States-based operations, focusing on sales,
marketing, business development, customer support
and services, and regulatory certifications for Telit in
the Americas. In 2005, Roger Dewey was honored with
the prestigious Telematics Leadership Award presented
by Telematics Update Magazine for his outstanding
performance and achievements in the field. Named
an industry pioneer by M2M Magazine, Dewey most
recently served as Vice President of Product and
Business Strategy at Sony Ericsson, where he was
charged with strategically guiding development of
marketing and sales of wireless connectivity products
and solutions to commercial and industrial businesses,
as well as to consumers. “I have been tracking Telit
for years and have been highly impressed with their
customer-focused product design and execution.
When they asked me to help them enter the North and
South American markets, I jumped at the chance,” said
Roger Dewey. “I am going to ensure that our customers’
success is our number one priority.”
According to ABI Research, the m2m market in North
America is expected to generate sales of over ten
million units in 2007 and have an annual growth of 32%
through 2011. Dewey and his team have identified
three key areas where this growth is most immediate

NeW OPPORTUNITIeSWhat are some of the biggest challenges the m2m industry faces in the U.S.?
The two major challenges are probably the certification
process and the fractured wireless communications
market. In the U.S. we have GSM and CDMA, and will
soon launch WiMax, while in Europe and most of Asia
they have coalesced around GSM as the single standard.
In the U.S. we also have two extra levels of certification
requirements not required in the rest of the world, PTCRB
and individual operator approval. These additional
requirements can add up to more than $ 100,000.00 in
added costs for developing a solution, which holds back
smaller companies who are more likely to innovate
and aren’t hindered by size and scale of a deployment.
Traditionally, it is the smaller, more nimble companies
who are first to introduce new technologies and prove
their indisputable value.
What is the most exciting development you’re proud to be associated with in your career?
Helping to pull together the concept of an end-to-end
value chain as the most important driver in the m2m
space. It has only been in the past couple of years that
the model for m2m has changed, unlike when individual
companies were pushing their technology or service in
an isolated, uncoordinated fashion. Potential customers
couldn’t figure out the value or business case when
dealing with each individual component separately.
m2m only really makes sense when you look at the total
solution from a business perspective. I get a personal
sense of satisfaction when I go to a trade show and many
very smart people from different segments of the value
chain are willing to spend time with me to discuss how
we can all work together to accelerate the growth in this
industry.
We understand you are a bit of a “foodie” What kinds of meals are your favorite?
I am actually a fan of any authentic cuisine where the
food is served and shared by the entire table. Be it dim
sum, tapas, or Korean BBQ. Being able to share the entire
experience with your friends and family makes it that
much more special.

Swedish company Dualtech IT AB
specializes in GSM/GPRS-based alarm
and supervision systems. The company
was founded in 1999 with the goal
to economically increase the level of
security in alarm systems. Dualtech
has become one of the market leaders
in this segment with distribution
in Europe, Asia and Africa through
leading security and electrical
wholesalers. The company is now
introducing a new generation
of products for the security market,

INDuSTRIAL PROCESS CONTROL
Two years ago, Axelprod teamed up
with Mitsubishi to develop a
programmable logic controller
incorporating the Telit GE863-PY. Using
a GSM extension module, they
transformed Mitsubishi’s popular PLC
Alpha 2XL into a powerful remote
device.
Thanks to the GE863’s compact size, the
whole product fits into an extremely
compact extension housing. Telit
engineers created customized
firmware for Axelprod to increase the
capacity of the GE863-PY. Besides
standard GSM functions, the GTM PLC
contains an event log file to allow all I/
O changes, incoming and outgoing
SMS to be uploaded by GPRS directly to
an Axelprod server for further
consultation. Additional I/Os are
presented on the GRM PLC hardware to
offer more alarm solutions and remote
control actions for the final
applications. The built-in Easy GPRS
Data Logger allows the user to collect
unlimited Alpha 2 internal operating
parameter values and record them
onto an Axelprod back-office server,
using the GTM PLC internal command
set. Using the GRM PLC extension

for various types of wireless applications,
ranging from a simple, wireless Internet
connection to remote supervision,
maintenance and data acquisition. A
compact and robust aluminum casing
protects the terminal and makes it usable
in a wide spectrum of working
conditions. Per requirements of
the Public Revenue Agency (PRA)
in Serbia and mobile operators in
the country, Pupin developed the
GPRS terminal DKTSky300/310
(based on Telit’s Trizum and
GE863) for connecting electronic
cash registers (ECR) with fiscal
memory to an FTP server in the
PRA of the Ministry of Finance
and/or to an owner‘s personal
computer (or LAN). The DKTSky300/310
is a small, compact and easy-to-use
device. A connection with an ECR is
established using an RS-232 interface, and
is transparent to other devices (bar-code
scanner, electronic scales etc). It supports
all recommended modes of transfer of
daily reports. The flexible construction of
the DKTSky300/310 gives it adequate
processing power and a large memory
space for custom applications and
implementation of new services such as
alarm or remote control. The DKTSky400
is a multifunctional communication

SENSILE TECHNOLOGIES // SWITzERLAND
Sensile Technologies Sa
Munich-based Telic GmbH has
developed its next generation of
telemetry modules, the Simple
Telemetry Device 32 (STD32), based on
Telit’s revolutionary GE864-PY GSM
technology. Available now, the STD32
telemetry module is equipped to
handle a wide range of applications in
the home, commercial, and industrial
sectors. Thanks to its two outputs to
switch external devices on and off,
and its two signal inputs which can be
connected to sensors and such, the
STD32 makes it very easy to remotely
control a myriad of devices by mobile
telephone.
The fascinating world of telemetry is
now accessible to a wider audience.
Less experienced system integrators
can now quickly and easily utilize GSM
mobile radio technology for remote-
switching or remote-alarm
applications. All they need is a STD32
from Telic GmbH, a GSM SIM card (in
the simplest cases, even a pre-paid card
will do), and a -standard GSM mobile
phone. The STD32 module, measuring
just 55 x 100 x 25 mm, is barely bigger
than a mobile phone and can be easily
integrated into other devices or into
a suitable plastic casing. It features two
relay switching outputs, two signal
inputs, an antenna and a power supply
connectors. Five LEDs provide
information on its operating status.
All that is required for a quick-start is a
connection to an existing power supply
or a small power pack, as the STD32 can
reliably operate at voltages between 5
and 32 V. The two signal inputs are
electrically isolated using optocouplers
and the two switching outputs can
be looped directly back into the power
supply circuit. Each relay output can
be loaded with a maximum of six
Amperes. The antenna FME connector
can be used with either the supplied
angular antenna or an antenna cable.
The module can be easily setup to
support various switching and signal
functions.. Connecting to the power
supply allows the automatic sending
of an alarm SMS to a preset telephone
number. One of the two switching
relays can be made to engage for a pre-
set period of time in the event of a call
from a pre-programmed mobile phone,
for example, to switch on a heating
or air-conditioning system. Both relays
can also be switched on or off
independently of each other using
pre-set SMS messages, and feedback on
the switch’s current status is also
available via SMS. What’s more, each of
the two inputs can independently
trigger the sending of alarm via SMS to
up to five phone numbers. The STD32
makes it possible, with very little effort,
to remotely switch on a home’s heating
unit in the winter well in advance of
the owner’s arrival. Alternatively, the
module can also act as an alarm system
with a remote notification function.
The module can be adjusted without
advanced programming skills and
little or no experience with this type
of equipment. All that’s required is a
simple command sent to the STD32
in the form of an SMS text message.
This SMS can either contain a single
command or an entire chain of
commands.

cellular m2m link. While the same functionality could
be achieved theoretically by co-locating multiple
cellular m2m module-based sensors – and some would
argue that this represents flatter network architecture
– there are some practical business and technological
considerations that argue against this approach. For
example, a typical cellular m2m module might cost
approximately four to five times more than a fully
integrated ZigBee module. Also, service providers often
charge their customers a subscription fee for every
cellular m2m module connected to the network. While
ABI Research has seen technologies that get around this
one module one subscriber rate impediment, many
developers find it easier to work with one cellular m2m
module providing a gateway link for SRW sensors.
Likewise, a key technical consideration for many
applications is power consumption. SRW sensors are
designed with minimal power consumption demands
in mind, and many are battery-operated devices that
can operate for a number of years without a change
of batteries.
However, not all cellular m2m application segments
are seeing the same demand for interconnection with
SRW sensors. ABI Research predicts that applications
of SRW technology will gain the most traction in
telematics, automation and control, metering, and
security, where an extended local footprint is more
beneficial. Conversely, application segments like
telemedicine, information displays and wireless local
loops, vending, and ATM-POS are likely to see less use
of SRW sensors.
To date, total cost of ownership for m2m solutions
has inhibited faster growth in market adoption. The
emergence of short range wireless devices lowers the
total cost of ownership, placing it within reach of price-
sensitive segments like metering and security. Telit
recognizes the value that SRW brings as compliment
to a strong cellular portfolio. According to Sam Lucero,
“Forward-thinking m2m technology vendors are
embracing this trend and developing products and
solutions that enable their customers to more easily
integrate wide area m2m with local area m2m.’’
SRW is just one of many solid growth trends in m2m
that analysts are predicting will influence the much-
expected explosive growth of this sector. With Telit’s
new product announcements scheduled for 2007, we
will be taking a closer look at other such trends and
how they play into the overall portfolio and offering
strategy of Telit Wireless Solutions.
In April of 2006, Telit announced it was awarded
funding from the Italian Ministry of Industry. This
funding was granted for the creation of a new R&D
center in Sardinia, Italy which would be focused on
integrating complimentary technologies such as
ZigBee, WiMax, and RFID into the Telit m2m portfolio.
In September 2006, ABI Research published a research
brief titled Extending the Reach of Cellular m2m. in
which Sam Lucero, Senior Analyst, m2m & Wireless
Connectivity, explores the role of short range wireless
and the value it brings to m2m solutions, particularly
cellular technology.
Telit, in total alignment with ABI’s findings, believes
that integrating complimentary wireless technologies
will fuel adoption and expand the total addressable
market for m2m applications. The creation of Telit’s
R&D center in Sardinia, coupled with the recent release
of ABI’s research brief, prompted us to dedicate this
first TelitMarket insight to exploring the role and
impact that short range wireless devices are expected
to have on m2m.
Extending the Reach of Cellular m2m
Within the broad machine-to-machine connectivity
market, ABI Research believes the two key market
segments are cellular m2m and Wireless Sensor
Networking (WSN). WSN utilizes Short Range Wireless
(SRW) technologies, such as ZigBee, to create local area
wireless sensor networks for a wide range of applications.
ABI Research is seeing a growing confluence between
cellular m2m and WSN in the market. Technology
vendors at multiple levels of the value chain are
enabling this trend. For example, a leading cellular
m2m framework provider estimates that roughly
75% of the cellular m2m connections enabled by the
provider’s technology connect to and utilize local area
SRW sensors to enable the target application, which can
range from temperature monitoring of refrigerated
trucks to remote monitoring of oil and natural gas
tanks.
The key benefit of integrating cellular m2m with SRW
sensors is to extend the local area footprint of the
