Enfora,
a provider of intelligent wireless networking solutions today
announced the upcoming release of its HSPA wireless platform that
will be available for purchase in April 2010. This platform will
be the newest addition to Enfora’s Enabler series of embedded
wireless platforms, which are targeted at Machine-to-Machine (M2M)
applications.
“We are
excited about the addition of the new HSPA platform to our
portfolio,” said Mark Weinzierl, President of Enfora. “This platform
nicely complements our other industry proven offerings, and provides a
compelling solution for M2M applications, such as security, smart
grid and automotive applications, that can benefit from 3G
technology in a small form factor.”
Enfora’s HSPA
wireless platform will be available in a Land Grid Array (LGA)
form factor measuring 29.3mm x 30.9mm x 2.74mm, and will support
quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE operation in addition to Triband WCDMA operation
with RX diversity. In HSPA mode, the platform can support data
rates up to 10.1 Mbps downlink and 5.76 Mbps uplink.
Additionally,
Enfora’s HSPA platform will support multiple operating systems,
including Windows XP, Windows XPe, Windows CE, Windows 7 (desktop
and embedded), and Linux (Ubuntu and Android), providing welcome
flexibility for application developers. A version of this platform
meeting various automotive requirements will be available later
this year.
