Magneti Marelli embeds Sierra Wireless modules for Ford telematics product
27 March 2009
Magneti Marelli's telematics product offering with the integrated Sierra Wireless MC5727V embedded module and EMConnectTM firmware is now available to Ford customers as part of the Ford Work Solutions system.  

This system enables a wide range of applications, such as the distribution of real-time traffic information and location-based services, as well as fleet tracking and management.

Sierra Wireless embedded modules integrate easily into laptops, portable devices and fixed wireless terminals, offering complete wireless data solutions over HSPA and EVDO Rev A networks.

With the new EMConnect firmware features, Sierra Wireless embedded modules can serve as stand-alone connections for M2M applications such as advanced meter reading (AMR), advanced meter infrastructure (AMI), remote monitoring & control, and remote updating for applications like digital signs.

This capability eliminates the need for a separate host processor in the device itself and enables OEMs to cut development time and cost.
