AIRDESK Launches GPRS Services on Nationwide M2M Network

First Cross-carrier M2M Network to Offer GPRS Services from Both Cingular Wireless and T-Mobile

"AIRDESK is proud to be an active participant in the pioneering of service solutions in such an explosive market as M2M," said Michael Lang, the company's founder, president and CEO. "Launching GPRS services on our M2M network is the culmination of many months of hard work and dedication by the entire company. This commercial rollout further extends our position as the nation's leading M2M network operator and represents another major milestone in our vision to make M2M applications accessible and affordable for companies of all sizes."

"AIRDESK's full-service, cross-carrier approach overcomes the complex barriers that previously prevented many mid-sized companies from deploying M2M solutions," added Mr. Lang. "By guiding our customers through each step of the process, from planning through development, hardware procurement, testing, certification and deployment, we're able to dramatically reduce risks, costs, and development cycles. AIRDESK customers are provided with a simple, unified services platform."

With its GPRS offerings in place, AIRDESK is currently focusing on its next major milestone: adding CDMA services to its network. Already in the final stages of development, the CDMA rollout is slated for completion in the near future. The network upgrade will add another major carrier to AIRDESK's "cross-carrier" offerings. It will also create a true "cross-technology" network, allowing AIRDESK's customers to seamlessly combine CDMA and GSM devices in the same M2M application.

"AIRDESK has added a rich layer of M2M services and features not covered by the major carriers," commented Bob Ruddy, the company's vice president of operations. "Most importantly, we've enabled true, two-way communications between our customers' M2M application servers and their M2M devices. Cellular networks alone do not provide a method for the server to poll devices in the field, requiring each customer to implement costly and cumbersome workarounds. AIRDESK's network overcomes this problem by providing the 'missing link' that facilitates an always-available, two-way connection, and eliminates the need for text messaging between machines."

"Another major benefit of our network upgrade is that we automatically take advantage of the best pricing and coverage across multiple carriers on our customers' behalf," continued Mr. Ruddy. "And we transparently consolidate the charges from multiple carriers into a single bill. Our guiding philosophy has been to build an M2M network that reduces complexities and costs for our customers wherever possible."
