Telit Wireless Solutions, global provider of machine-to-machine (M2M) modules and services, announced the establishment of m2mAIR, a new business unit offering M2M managed and value-added services including connectivity.
“m2mAIR represents Telit’s major new direction in the marketplace to become the first one-stop shop for managed M2M solutions worldwide,” said Oozi Cats, CEO of Telit Wireless Solutions. “With our dedicated web portal, partnership with Telefónica and extensive M2M expertise, we can help developers deploy applications more quickly and efficiently to meet growing market demand.”
Available for European-based customers with rollouts in the U.S., APAC and Latin America scheduled for later this year, m2mAIR offers M2M players access to module and subscription lifecycle management via Software as a Service (SaaS) platform and comprehensive wireless coverage in partnership with Telefónica, one of the carriers in the world.
