ACEnet Services edition simplifies remote management and lowers the
total cost of ownership for wireless M2M deployments
VANCOUVER, Aug. 5 /CNW/ - Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR - TSX: SW) today
announced the latest enhancement to its suite of ACEware(TM) web-based device
management platforms, ACEnet Services edition. Using a software-as-a-service
(SaaS) model, ACEnet Services offers customers a secure hosted platform to
comprehensively configure, control and manage their entire deployment of
AirLink devices using a standard web browser.
ACEnet Services edition leverages nearly a decade's worth of Sierra
Wireless experience and proven success in providing comprehensive remote
management for unattended devices in field locations and provides customers a
fully functional enterprise-grade remote management platform that easily
scales as the customer deployment grows.
As is the case with the entire ACEware suite, ACEnet Services edition is
tightly integrated with ALEOS(TM) embedded intelligence, which powers the
AirLink product line and provides session persistence, embedded machine
protocols, extensive routing features, IP security and many other key
features. Coupled with ALEOS, ACEnet enables customers to monitor device
status and performance on demand as well as configure and control their
AirLink devices - whether they manage a handful of gateways or thousands at
once - using a single interface from anywhere with Internet connectivity.
Long term reliability and simplicity are cornerstones of every successful
M2M deployment. The common software platform across the AirLink product line
simplifies the deployment for IT teams by enabling them to configure and
manage all of their AirLink devices from a single interface. For customers
with broad M2M implementations, this translates into managing different types
of devices (in-vehicle platforms, M2M gateways and enterprise routers) with
one application, which drastically reduces cycle times and cost.
"Launching a comprehensive hosted ACEnet Services offering is an exciting
and significant milestone for Sierra Wireless, our channel and our customers,"
said Justin Schmid, vice president of the Mobile and M2M Group for Sierra
Wireless. "In a time when companies are particularly interested in working
more efficiently and reducing both capital and operating expenses, this
powerful, yet easy-to-use remote management service can help our customers
quickly realize that objective and lower the total cost of ownership of their
wireless M2M solutions."
Simple Access to Rich Feature Set
ACEnet Services edition is a powerful browser-based remote management
platform that simplifies managing complex M2M solutions by combining a very
rich feature set with the simplicity of a hosted platform.
