OVERLAND PARK, Kan. & SALT LAKE CITY -- (Business Wire)
Sprint
(NYSE:S) and Monnit Corporation (www.monnit.com),
a leading provider of wireless sensing and monitoring solutions, today
announced an exciting new collaboration to deliver wireless monitoring.
They are teaming up to help business managers and employees constantly
keep a finger on the vital pulse of their operations, using
cellular-connected wireless sensors and monitoring solutions that
remotely monitor business facilities, processes and activities.
Sprint customers now have access to a complete wireless sensing and
monitoring solution designed specifically for businesses. As a result,
people running plants and other facilities can know the status of
critical functions each second, helping to accelerate the speed of
operations, ensure efficiency, security and product quality, and empower
people to be more productive while increasing on-the-job safety. Monnit
currently provides more than 40 different types of low-cost wireless
sensors for both commercial and industrial applications. The sensors
monitor various functions that are critical to business operation,
including; temperature, humidity, access, motion, water, light, voltage,
vibration and much more. The sensors connect to an online,
self-monitored sensor platform via a cellular gateway designed for
Sprint’s wireless network.
The MonnitLink™
Cellular Gateway model CGW3 is an advanced, all wireless, M2M
cellular gateway for Sprint wireless customers, that enables fast
time-to-market solutions for a wide range of M2M applications. The
Monnit cellular gateway transmits data between local sensor networks and iMonnit,
the online data monitoring system, which aggregates sensor information
and sends notifications via text or email if user defined conditions are
met or exceeded.
Features of the new cellular gateway:
-
True "plug & play" (no hassles for Internet configuration and set-up)
-
Optional 24-hour battery backup in event of power loss
-
Low-cost cellular service packages
-
50,000 sensor message memory
-
Local status LEDs with transmission and online status indicators
-
Remote software upgrade capability
"The affordability of this solution makes it practical for a business of
any size to deploy. The solution allows for instant creation of remote
monitoring systems at offices, retail locations or other remote
operations, avoiding the cost and time required to install traditional
wired systems," said Brad Walters, CEO of Monnit Corporation. "Monnit’s
wireless sensing solutions are very versatile and expandable, so
additional wireless sensors can be added as needed."
“Whether you operate an enterprise business or small business, Sprint
and Monnit’s solutions put you and your people in closer, real-time
touch with your critical business functions,” said Mohamad Nasser,
director of M2M Product, Platforms and Marketing for Sprint. “Sprint’s
wireless network coverage, combined with Monnit’s wireless sensors and
online monitoring solutions, offers businesses more flexibility and
reliability in remotely monitoring mission-critical business
applications.”
“As a Monnit partner, we are excited about the possibilities this
collaboration will bring,” said Jack Lloyd, CEO of SafeinHome. “Our
service of providing in-home monitoring and alerting solutions for the
aging population requires reliable communication between the in-home
monitoring hardware and the online system. Monnit’s collaboration with
Sprint will provide that for our cellular connected customers.”
