‘World’s first’ industrial strength embedded module

Huawei Technologies has launched what it describes as 'the world's first industrial strength machine to machine UMTS embedded module'.

The company's EM700 module has been designed to endure extreme conditions, such as temperatures ranging from -30 to 75°C, as well as to provide a strong mobile broadband performance. According to James Chen, Huawei's director terminal marketing, the new EM700 module is also resistant to high and low humidity (5%-95%), shock, air pollution and congested wireless network traffic. Chen explained: "Consumers today need reliable and robust wireless equipment and connections while on the move and it is becoming increasingly important for people to be able to stay connected regardless of their location or the conditions. The world's first industrial strength embedded module - Huawei's EM700 – meets this need by providing a vastly improved wireless performance that can be experienced in any environment."
