Arrow Intelligent Systems eNewsletter - Cellular and Services Focus

Welcome from the Editor - Joseph Zaloker, Director of Technical Marketing, Arrow Cellular Technology and Platform Level Decisions for Intelligent Systems Choosing the right technology, device, cellular service provider and management platform for your application can be confusing, especially if this is the first time you are integrating cellular technology into your product. We will share with you insights on how to successfully pick the right technology and management platform for your cellular connected product or application. Case Studies Cypress Solutions Inc. - Providing an "Always On, Always Connected" Experience for the M2M Industry Cypress Solutions Inc. develops a line of industrial wireless gateways for use in markets requiring reliable, real time data connectivity in harsh environments. Read how Cypress worked closely with The City of Calgary to develop connected solutions for various assets including road maintenance, waste removal and other large municipal vehicles. Semios - How the Internet of Things is Automating Agricultural Pest Control Read how the Semios M2M solution offers industry standard pest control together with an extensive sensor network that saves growers money over their conventional spray program. The Semios system empowers growers by combining real-time pest monitoring and data with automated pheromone deployment for optimal control and enhanced Integrated Pest Management capabilities. White Papers Arrow Electronics - Designing Embedded Systems with Cellular Technology As the need for cellular connectivity grows in areas not covered by other wireless technologies, understanding the trade-offs around selecting a cellular module, data plan and services is a must. This white paper highlights design considerations ranging from hardware choices for cellular technologies, application platform management, carrier selection and global M2M deployments. Device Cloud Networks (DCN) - Global Deployment of M2M and Connected Devices Deploying global connected systems come with several challenges that include managing a complex system of country-based SIMs, numerous network interfaces, different certification requirements and APIs that need to be modernized. Read more on how these challenges can be managed by an end-to-end process for deploying and managing global M2M systems. Multi-Tech Systems - Minimizing the Risks in a Cellular Enabled Deployment Whether you are seeking to integrate a cellular modem into an embedded device or connect an existing product to a gateway the designer is faced with a common make vs. buy decision. This white paper lays out the tradeoffs with each of the approaches including ROI calculations. Telit Wireless Solutions - The Role of the MVNO: Advancing the Internet of Things MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators) will play a pivotal role in driving the adoption of connected devices across a range of industries. However, as M2M devices and Internet "things" primarily need data connectivity, the term Managed Services Provider verses MVNO is often employed as it reflects the need for value-added services such as management of remote devices. Digi - Gateway Design: Make vs. Buy Selection Criteria As more and more remote devices require a connection to the Internet, companies face a difficult decision of designing a cellular/RF gateway vs. seeking an off-the-shelf solution. This paper aims to help navigate the "Make vs. Buy" decision-making process many companies face in today's dynamic M2M environment. Beecham Research - Global The Evolution of the M2M Market and the Role of MNOs and MVNOs MNOs have always been in the M2M market. They have sold airtime through MVNOs and resellers, but only over the last 5 or 6 years have they really started to focus on it. They are more suited to the types of application that require less technical support in the field and with greater connection numbers. They fit well into the regulatory type of M2M applications. Featured Product MultiTech QuickCarrierTM USB-D The QuickCarrierTM USB-D is a cellular dongle designed and built for M2M applications. That means it is built for long life while delivering reliable data connectivity. The QuickCarrier USB-D is designed for quick implementation of cellular technology - allowing you to easily connect their devices to the internet.
