Optimizing embedded M2M systems Companies wanting to build an M2M (machine-to-machine) solution integrating a WWAN (Wireless Wide Area Network, e.g. GSM/GPRS, CDMA or EDGE) communication function will typically opt to add a wireless modem (wireless module) to existing equipment. This approach generally yields a dual-processor architecture with a host processor (external microcontroller) and wireless modem (including a processor). The host processor carries out the application execution and interfaces with a set of external peripheral sensors, buses, memory etc., and it communicates with the wireless modem via AT commands. For long-lasting competitiveness, however, developers of embedded systems need to focus on eliminating duplicate components and optimizing software development. http://www.engineering.com/Blogs/tabid/3207/BlogId/20/Default.aspx en-US welcome@wavecom.com info@engineering.com Fri, 21 Nov 2008 05:36:39 GMT Fri, 21 Nov 2008 05:36:39 GMT http://backend.userland.com/rss Blog RSS Generator Version 3.4.0.21439 Optimizing the architecture of embedded M2M systems <FONT face=Arial>Developers of embedded systems need to focus on eliminating duplicate components and optimizing software development.</FONT> <SPAN lang=EN-GB style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt"> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 4.75pt 0pt 0cm"></SPAN><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt"> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #666666; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN"></SPAN></P><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></SPAN> <P></P> http://www.engineering.com/Blogs/tabid/3207/EntryID/38/Default.aspx welcome@wavecom.com http://www.engineering.com/Blogs/tabid/3207/EntryID/38/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.engineering.com/Default.aspx?tabid=3207&EntryID=38 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 11:35:00 GMT 1 http://www.engineering.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=38
