Processing Power for Any Application
In the early days of industrial wireless applications, the wireless element was a plain modem - an unintelligent device that receives data in one format and transmits it in another.
Technology has come a long way since then and today, Wavecom's intelligent products include ARM microprocessors that can process data, listen to more than 50 peripheral devices, address complex display driver interfaces, run embedded customer applications, connect to the Internet, and store the resulting data in embedded memory.
With such powerful functionality, the modem has evolved to become the Wireless CPU - a powerful, programmable processor which can also connect to cellular networks anywhere in the world.
Wavecom's portfolio of wireless modules is now available from Arrow Altech Distribution.
