A new GPRS/GSM application kit aims to simplify the provision of machine communications. The kit will allow machines the ability to: notify a user when they need servicing; have their settings changed from anywhere in the world; upload data wirelessly; send commands from one machine to another; and send vehicle location/conditions via e-mail. The GPRS/GSM application kit is designed to integrate embedded controls with wireless GPRS/GSM communication applications.

Z-World's GPRS/GSM application kit provides all the necessary tools to sample and develop applications that combine a Rabbit-based control device with a GSM/GPRS modem manufactured by Enfora.

The libraries and sample programs allow for a device connected to the cellular network to send SMS (text) messages to a RabbitCore module (RCM) that can interpret messages as commands and in turn execute control functions.

The RCM can also send/receive GPRS e-mail wirelessly to/from any PC, GSM device, or cellphone.

The LCD/keypad module included in the GPRS/GSM application kit incorporates a menu system that provides for an easy interface to read or send text messages and e-mail.

Kit applications include but are not limited to: wireless automation and control, alarm and notification systems, remote monitoring, data and event logging, machine communication, FTP (file transfer) uploading, and telnet, e-mail, and text messaging communications.

The GPRS/GSM application kit includes Z-World's Dynamic CTM integrated development software with royalty-free TCP/IP stack and PPP module along with quad band wireless modem and all supporting embedded system hardware.

GPRS/GSM application kits are available to ship immediately with a price of $649.

Other application kits available for purchase are the Wi-Fi (802.11b) application kit, Secure Embedded Web application kit, and the Serial to Ethernet application kit.
