DEMOfall 07 — SAN DIEGO, Calif. — September 24, 2007 — Delivering the first and only service platform for connecting and managing machines around the world, Jasper Wireless, a licensed global machine-to-machine (M2M) mobile operator, today revealed its ground-breaking model for next-generation machine communications and management. In turn, the company assumes a leadership position in the M2M market as it blazes a trail for future growth.

“We approached M2M with a clean slate – no preconceived notions, no legacy technology to retrofit,” said Daniel Collins, chief technology officer – wireless of Jasper Wireless. “That allowed us to study the market objectively, and we identified problems like high communications costs, lack of control over devices in the field, and missing vertical capabilities. These problems were pervasive, so everybody else saw them as unavoidable costs of doing business. We saw them as barriers to M2M proliferation, so we developed a wireless service model to crush them.”

By most analyst measures, the M2M market is already healthy. Harbor Research estimates 110 million machines are connected today. However, most researchers agree that soon, connected machines will outnumber the world’s human population. ABI Research predicts the cellular M2M market will quadruple, growing at a 27-percent rate, worldwide, and reach $8B by 2012*.

To usher in this vast machine population, Jasper Wireless built its service from the ground up to offer capabilities previously unavailable – and unimaginable – in the M2M market, including:

One global SIM. The Jasper Wireless Global SIM gives M2M providers cost-effective, local service in over 35 countries, with more countries coming online every month. The Jasper Wireless Global SIM also means streamlined certification, manufacturing, and distribution processes, which encourages revenue growth by eliminating the high costs and effort associated with entering new markets.

Real-time visibility, total global control. For M2M OEMs managing hundreds of thousands of devices around the world, the Jasper Wireless Control Center is the first and only Web-based application to offer one dashboard for all machines, with complete visibility and control of communications. From changing rate plans to viewing up-to-the-minute data usage to instantly activating and deactivating devices, the Jasper Wireless Control Center provides insight to communications costs on a machine-by-machine basis as well as the power to act on that insight.

Jasper Wireless extends its global control with instant and automated device provisioning. When a device with a Jasper Wireless SIM reaches the end customer and is powered on for the first time, it simply works – no phone calls, no manual steps.

Vertical application solutions. Jasper Wireless has built optimized, vertical application solutions to meet the unique needs of the industries it serves. For example, the company’s point-of-sale solution includes Secure SIM – an innovative capability designed to prevent fraudulent charges and unauthorized SIM card use. Automated authentication controls ensure each Jasper Wireless SIM only works with its intended device. Jasper Wireless has similar, industry-specific capabilities for fleet and asset management, vehicle telematics, security, point-of-sale, and remote product service.

Amit Gupta, chief technology officer – services of Jasper Wireless said, “Jasper Wireless has converged wireless and Internet-based business software technologies. This is a first for the industry and the only way to truly meet the unique needs of M2M device communications. OEMs and their customers around the world not only need global wireless communications, but must be able to easily and cost-effectively manage all of those devices.”

Jasper Wireless launched today at DEMOfall 07, running September 24-26, 2007, and is presenting on Tuesday, September 25 at 2:08 p.m. and at Pavilion Station #32. See related news release, “Jasper Wireless Pioneers M2M Communications Future” for more on the company’s launch.
