12. Module Developer Kit (MDK): Comprehensive tools to help you create flexible solutions Access to our support sites for technical product documentation, tools, drivers, and product updates. Development board with access to all the communication and I/O interfaces available on the module. Programming Kit (PK) for downloading of code and provisioning modules All necessary cabling and connectors needed to get your development started quickly The Fusion Wireless FW 2770 Module provides a full-featured EV-DO Rev A dual band CDMA solution for the M2M marketplace. Supporting a comprehensive AT command feature set, this flexible and rugged module is ideally suited for ATM/POS, Monitored Systems and Automated Meter Reading M2M applications.
13. Compliant Devices The following devices have completed Verizon Wireless' Open Development compliance testing to confirm that they will operate on Verizon Wireless' network: Press announcement Verizon wireless Open Development Telit Wireless Solutions, Inc. , the U.S.-based mobile technology arm of Telit Communications (AIM: TCM), announced today that its CC864-DUAL , a CDMA-1XRTT dual-band cellular machine-to-machine (M2M) communications module, is now certified for use with Verizon Wireless, the largest wireless service provider in the United States. Telit customers can now leverage the CC864-DUAL to launch smart, embedded cellular products on Verizon Wireless’ nationwide wireless network
15. Coverage Landscape Technology 2G / 3G 4G GSM/EDGE UMTS CDMA/1xrtt EVDO GSM/EDGE UMTS CDMA/1xrtt EVDO T-Mobile has NOT publicly announced any 4G plans but will most likely select LTE VZW has publicly announced it will deploy LTE as it’s 4G platform ATT has indicated HSPA+ as it’s 3.5G strategy prior to LTE Sprint is the sole carrier choosing WiMax as its 4G platform 2G covered POPS % Population 295 Million 96% 301 Million 98% 298 Million 97% 289 Million 94% 3G covered POPS 205 Million (220 by Q2) 284 Million (Alltel) 220 Million 200 Million
19. Data service options: Carrier Retail - Expensive, no understanding of data Carrier Wholesale - High bar commitment, few tools MVNO’s - Wyless, Kore, etc. Provide value added services: fixed IP management portal, data plans designed for M2M, multiple carriers “ Easy on ramp”

Every device sends 256 bytes of data every 4 minutes A private APN may be provided (depending on the aggregator) which has already been configured in the GGSN On receiving a request, the GGSN recognizes the IP address and routes the data packets to the server in the aggregator NOC The aggregator NOC is connected to the client’s NOC using a secure connection such as IPSec through the Internet or a leased line CDRs are generated by both the GGSN and SGSN and sent to the billing platform in the aggregator NOC The billing information and other reporting functions/tools can be accessed from the client NOC by using the same secure connection that is used by the client NOC to retrieve the payload from the devices or through SSL via Internet and a respective web portal in the aggregator NOC For the transport of the payload data to the client NOC either UDP or TCP/IP can be used. Using UDP would lower the consumed bandwidth per transaction Page
