Jasper Wireless Optimizes Provisioning for M2M Business Operations
Patent-Pending Automated Process Enables Breakthrough Manufacturing,
Distribution Strategies for Wireless Machine Communications
CTIA Wireless I.T. & Entertainment 2007 — SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (USA) — October 17, 2007 — Seizing the opportunity to streamline and simplify the business operations of companies relying on wireless machine communications, Jasper Wireless, a licensed global machine-to-machine (M2M) mobile operator, today announced its patent-pending automated provisioning process. Fleet management, telematics, security, and other companies will find the Jasper Wireless innovation lets them adopt breakthrough strategies in product manufacturing and distribution.
“When it’s done right, provisioning can have a big impact on a company’s ability to scale its business simply and profitably,” said Scott Barkley, vice president, products at Jasper Wireless. “M2M businesses have distinct needs – they typically provision millions of devices a year around the world and automation is key to accelerating revenue growth and international expansion. We designed our entire service for M2M, so it’s only natural that we’d develop a provisioning process unique to wireless machine communications.”
M2M Provisioning Breakthrough
Companies deploying connected devices must balance three key requirements: 1) end consumer experience, 2) fulfillment administration, and 3) revenue and cost alignment. Jasper Wireless has developed provisioning processes and automation that provide the perfect balance of services to meet these requirements.
Jim Kitchen, director of product management at uControl said, “The automated provisioning process developed by Jasper Wireless is literally hands-free and instantaneous. Now, users can install and activate uControl systems in less than a few minutes, something that is critical to our business model and our growth.”
Working as an integral function of the Jasper Wireless M2M Global SIM and the Jasper Wireless M2M Control Center, Jasper Wireless’ automated provisioning includes patent-pending, business rules-driven activations and billing. In turn, companies can now take advantage of the following industry-first features:
-
Free factory testing. Companies can test device connectivity at the factory, free of communications charges and activation phone calls.
-
Automated and instant activation. Companies can ship activation-ready devices, which can sit weeks or months in the distribution channel, free of communications charges. When the device is powered on by the end customer, its communications services are available immediately with no manual intervention.
-
Dynamic service assignment. Whether devices are in a pre- or post-deployment state, new service profiles (e.g, SMS, emergency voice, GPRS) may be remotely assigned.
-
Customer-specific provisioning rules. Companies can select their own provisioning automation rules, which ensure the service provisioning process is in complete alignment with the way they do business.
Barkley said, “The faster an end customer can get a working connected device in their hands, the faster the manufacturer can begin to receive revenue. Our automated provisioning is helping M2M OEMs simplify their operations, and accelerate their manufacturing and distribution times. This is a direct benefit to their bottom line.”
