Wireless connectivity offers industrial and enterprise customers the opportunity to reduce operating costs and improve efficiency, and the wide range of applications that can benefit from the addition of wireless is growing every day. Sierra Wireless high-speed modules for HSPA or EV-DO Rev A networks are ideal for use in a wide variety of wireless broadband applications. Below are just a few examples, but in a fast-growing field like this, the possibilities are virtually unlimited.
Kiosks & Vending Ticketing and information kiosks are more prevalent every day. Airports, train stations, and even movie theatres are finding stand-alone kiosks to be a powerful, cost-effective method of customer service. But a kiosk without a network connection is of limited value, and the need for kiosks to be relocated from time to time presents a networking challenge. Our wireless modules eliminate that challenge, and provide kiosks with the connectivity and flexibility they require.
In the vending industry, wireless connectivity enables remote monitoring of machine status and management of digital advertising content. Vending machines with embedded Sierra Wireless modules offer customers reliable, real-time, two-way communications with their machines, allowing them to monitor for inventory or service alerts, to accept cashless transactions and to remotely manage advertising content by transmitting video using the broadband 3G connection. The ability to communicate remotely with the machine increases operational efficiency for the operator, who can track customer demand in real time and dispatch drivers only when a machine needs to be refilled or serviced.
Sales & Payment Systems
Combine a Sierra Wireless module with stand-alone ATM terminals to enable wireless sales transactions in venues where ATMs with fixed network connections aren’t feasible, such as stadiums, tradeshows, and outdoor events. Our embedded modules provide data functionality, GPS location tracking and secure network connections, enabling reliable, convenient point of sale solutions for your customers.
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
ITS technology enables people to make smart travel choices. Variable message signs, traffic radar, congestion detection sensors, and priority control systems are just a few of the technologies involved. By combining reliable wireless data technology from Sierra Wireless with this state-of-the-art traffic data collection, these systems can provide accurate, real-time information while reducing infrastructure investments.
Remote Surveillance
Sierra Wireless technology enables a long list of remote surveillance applications, including access to wireless security or traffic cameras and remote management of in-vehicle cameras. Using high-speed Sierra Wireless modules, footage captured by remote cameras can be uploaded to the Internet to be viewed from anywhere, enabling improvements in response times and providing better advance information for first responders.
Fleet Management
Sierra Wireless embedded modules power in-vehicle devices that offer GPS systems and interoperate with a variety of tools and utilities to provide the information and functionality required for today's Automatic Vehicle Location applications. Track your fleet of vehicles, map routes, manage vehicle diagnostics, and improve the safety and security of your drivers all with the help of Sierra Wireless modules.
