Latest AirPrime® embedded wireless module
supports OEMs connecting tablets, laptops, and other devices to the
Internet of Things
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW) today announced that
the Sierra Wireless AirPrime EM7345 embedded wireless module is now
certified to operate on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network. This
is part of the third generation of 4G LTE modules from Sierra
Wireless, which first launched embedded modules on the Verizon
Wireless 4G LTE network three years ago. The Verizon Wireless 4G
LTE network is the largest in the U.S., available to more than 97
percent of the population.
“With the latest AirPrime embedded module from Sierra Wireless,
OEMs have a high-quality, cost-efficient option to choose in
integrating connectivity to the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network,”
said John Sullivan, Executive Director of the Connected Solutions
group for Verizon Enterprise Solutions. “Sierra Wireless has been
working with OEMs to connect devices to the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE
network since it was first deployed, and we are pleased to be able
to expand the choices available to manufacturers looking to
integrate connectivity to the Verizon Wireless network into their
products.”
The AirPrime EM7345, based on an Intel chipset, is designed for
integration into notebook computers and tablets, with a
standardized M.2 form factor ideal for small, thin devices. When
integrated into a notebook or tablet computer, it provides end
customers with access to Verizon Wireless mobile broadband at their
fingertips, eliminating the need to look for public WiFi networks
to get online.
“Achieving Verizon Wireless certification is an important
milestone for us,” said Horst Pratsch, Head of Multi-Comm Products
at Intel. “Our LTE platform is designed to deliver mobile broadband
in a small form factor that meets the needs of PC OEMs for laptops,
tablets, and other devices where thinness is a strategic feature
and a competitive advantage. We are excited to see devices based on
this platform with integrated Verizon Wireless service come to
market.”
“Verizon Wireless has been a leading force in providing 4G LTE
network connectivity in the U.S.,” said Dan Schieler, Senior Vice
President and Managing Director, OEM Solutions for Sierra Wireless.
“This technology leadership has been instrumental in enabling the
growth of the Internet of Things, and we are pleased to deliver our
next generation module for the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE
network.”
