Ms. Anne Monie reports

ORBCOMM SELECTS SIERRA WIRELESS TO DELIVER INNOVATIVE SUBSCRIPTION AND DEVICE MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES FOR ITS M2M WEB SERVICES PLATFORM

Orbcomm Inc., a global satellite data communications company focused on two-way machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, and Sierra Wireless Inc. have entered into an agreement to integrate innovative capabilities of Sierra Wireless's M2M services platform (M2MOperatingPortal) within Orbcomm's Web services portal to enable customers to control their M2M services, devices and communications.

Orbcomm's Web services portal, expected to be commercially released in the first quarter of 2010, will combine comprehensive subscriber management functions with many innovative capabilities for device management, including:

  • Customer control of devices and airtime subscriptions across the multiple networks offered by Orbcomm, including Orbcomm's own proprietary satellite network and GSM and CDMA terrestrial networks;
  • Customer-defined usage thresholds and alarms that allow customers to receive notifications when their devices reach the defined usage limit, giving customers greater control of overages and, therefore, their wireless service charges;
  • Comprehensive control of remote devices and applications, including the capability to remotely update a device's firmware and embedded applications over the air, representing significant control of devices;
  • The portal will enable integrated dual mode services, which creates a single subscriber from multiple airtime subscriptions. Orbcomm's customers will also benefit from receiving one consolidated bill, reducing the complexity of invoice management.
