AT&T, www.att.com/m2m, Dallas, Texas, and KORE Telematics, www.koretelematics.com, Reston, Va., are teaming up in order to simplify the M2M device network certification process. KORE Telematics, which is AT&T’s largest M2M network services VAR (value-added reseller), will provide a streamlined network certification flow for inbound, non-stocked M2M devices from manufacturers wishing to receive product approval for the AT&T network.
The objective is to enable integrators to move from independent certification to the KORE on-boarding process, thereby reducing development times as well as cost and complexity by exchanging information between integrators and AT&T before lab entry and during the testing phase.

M2M (machine-to-machine) technology has long been known as a way to reduce costs and increase efficiencies.

Establishing the right foundation for your solution is the ultimate key to success.
Jeff Smith has a keen interest in the exercise equipment industry, but not for reasons you may think. Indeed, he is an active individual; his recent 14-hour, 16-mile-high hike up a mountain in Colorado with his son is evidence of this fact. But for Smith, interest in the exercise equipment industry is more from a technological perspective.
Currently the vice president and chief technology officer with Numerex, www.numerex.com, Atlanta, Ga., Smith has been involved with three startups in the past 16 years—two within the M2M (machine-to-machine) space. He can talk for hours on business strategies for choosing a database for a particular product, the ins and outs of application software, and developing industry standards—which brings us back to his interest in exercise equipment.
