SkyWave Versa™ Gateway Enables High Network Reliability to Simplify Remote Asset Control & Monitoring

Significantly reduces operating cost

Ottawa, Canada – January 24, 2007 – SkyWave Mobile Communications (www.skywave.com), the worldwide leader in D+ satellite communications products and services, today introduces the SkyWave Versa™ Multi-protocol Gateway that will enable solution providers to deliver high reliability services for remote asset control and monitoring. Versa simplifies terminal management, significantly reducing the risk of programming errors while accelerating application development and solution time to market.

As the asset management and security market continues to grow, asset owners and managers increasingly demand uninterrupted visibility and control of their remote and mobile assets. Solution providers worldwide trust the proven-reliable SkyWave D+ network for their asset tracking, management and security solutions. Versa is designed to meet the ongoing needs for improved network performance with increased capacity and dependability. Messages can be received by multiple control stations, significantly increasing overall application reliability.

Solution providers who utilize SkyWave’s SureLinx 8100 integrated D+/GPRS and DMR-200 D+ series of terminals can leverage Versa to deliver increased asset monitoring and control capabilities to end-users at the lowest total cost of ownership. With SureLinx and Versa, solution providers can quickly bring to market valuable, high-availability solutions without the overwhelming task of integrating independent GPRS and SkyWave D+ networks.

“Versa ensures high quality message transmission and predictable coverage, and is ideally suited for applications requiring high levels of security and redundancy,” says Solomon Wong, VP Marketing for SkyWave. “Solution provider’s applications are no longer limited by single-network coverage or burdened by the inherent complexities of ‘do-it-yourself’ hybrid solutions.”
