Wavecom signs up partners for M2M monitoring and updates.

"[Wavecom] announced what has now been re-branded as the StarService, comprising both a product and service element.

The product is the Wireless Microprocessor WMP50, a module based on the ARM9 processor and running its Open AT Software Suite that enables customers to develop embedded apps. The service component is called Intelligent Device Services, the plural in the name referring to the fact that customers can get both monitoring and over-the-air updates to firmware and app software on remote machines.

The partners for the StarService offering are Jasper Wireless and Numerex."
