Kontron received PTCRB certification on its KM2M800 family of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Smart Services Developer Kits. PTCRB certification ensures that the GSM/W-CDMA devices within the Kontron KM2M800 family are compliant with the defined technical specifications in the NAPRD (North American Permanent Reference Document) to meet network operator requirements for safe operation. The PTCRB is a global organization of mobile network operators with the purpose of implementing independent, technical and standards-based evaluation processes for GSM/UMTS network-type certification. 7Layers is the authorized third party laboratory that conducted the testing on the Kontron KM2M800 series system within the developer kit. The Kontron M2M Smart Services Developer Kit features a COM Express mini Kontron Computer-on-Module COMe-mTT10 powered by an Intel Atom processor and includes a M2M System Carrier Board and an AV board to support headed configuration use. Enabling the quick development of wireless connectivity solutions, the kit supports 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN (wireless local area network) and 802.15.4 WPAN (wireless personal area network). Customers have the option to add 3G WWAN (wireless wide area network) that can either be pre-installed or easily enabled by dropping in a pre-certified PCI Express 3G/4G module for additional broadband connectivity flexibility. Kontron’s M2M Developer’s kit gives OEMs, smart services developers, and independent software vendors (ISVs) multiple benefits from a COMs-based modular approach that include reduced development costs, risk and time-to-market in a proven, production-ready COTS small factor platform. The kit packaging is also easily customized with the network operators, OEMs, or ISVs brand.
