Kontron gets certification for M2M developer kits
Kontron has received PTCRB certification for its KM2M800 family of M2M Smart Services Developer Kits. According to Kontron, PTCRB certification ensures its GSM/W-CDMA devices are compliant with the defined technical specifications in the NAPRD (North American Permanent Reference Document) to meet network operator requirements for safe operation. PTCRB – a global organisation of mobile network operators – implements technical and standards based evaluation processes for GSM/UMTS network type certification.
"Kontron, in collaboration with Intel, took the proactive step of PTCRB certification to help our M2M application developer customers streamline the process of carrier approval and their own PTCRB certification before the application can be launched on a carrier network," said Kevin Rhoads, vp of Kontron's Embedded Products Business Unit. "PTCRB certification is an important milestone that will give our customers the assurance they need to facilitate the quick time to market of their own solutions."
The Kontron M2M Smart Services Developer Kit features a COMe-mTT10 board, an M2M System Carrier board and an AV board to support headed configuration use.
