June 2003 - The Nokia 12 GSM module offers Java(TM)-based
application development with support for EDGE and location
service.
The
Nokia 12 is a compact and intelligent GSM module for
machine-to-machine, mobile-to-machine and machine-to-mobile
(M2M) applications and other wireless solutions that
can be integrated into devices during assembly. A Nokia
M2M Platform compatible product, the Nokia 12 GSM module
can also act as a cellular modem or be remotely controlled
via text messaging. With support for Java (TM) technology,
location services and offering a wide range of data
bearers, the Nokia 12 GSM module makes application development
cost effective and fast. Operating in the GSM 900/GSM1800
and later also in the GSM 850/1900 bands (Americas region),
the Nokia 12 GSM module is planned to be available in
Europe, Africa and Asia in the fourth quarter, 2003.
"The
Nokia 12 GSM module introduces a new meaning for remote
control. It enables you to control your equipment and
applicances from a distance, in the office, at home
and on the road," said Janne Jormalainen, Vice President,
Mobile Enhancements Business Unit, Nokia Mobile Phones.
"The Nokia 12 GSM module provides corporations with
a substantial amount of increased efficiency when installed,
for example, into pumps or meters. The Nokia 12 GSM
module can also help improve fleet and resource management
when coupled with external GPS support. Similarly, device
manufacturers can integrate the Nokia 12 GSM module
into a variety of devices, such as sprinklers, air conditioners
or household appliances, thus providing M2M benefits
to the home."
Java
enables effective application development with lower
costs and faster time to market. The Java Virtual Machine
allows the application being executed in the Nokia 12
GSM module, minimizing the need for extra hardware in
the remote device. Remote IMlet downlading enables updating
and downloading of the applications without need to
visit the remote locations on-site.
With
support for EDGE, GPRS, HSCSD, CSD and SMS (where available)
as data bearers, the Nokia 12 GSM module can operate
in a wide variety of networks.
