Electricity Meters to Transmit Usage Data over T-Mobile Network
Echelon Corp. and T-Mobile USA have announced an alliance to accelerate the adoption of the smart grid in the North American market by reducing the communications cost of smart meters through the deployment of Echelon's Networked Energy Services (NES) system over T-Mobile's GSM network. As part of the agreement, Echelon will utilize an embedded T-Mobile SIM within a cellular radio module to enable all the Echelon smart meters on a given low voltage transformer to communicate back to the utility over the smart grid, and T-Mobile will offer users of Echelon's NES system and pricing plans for data usage. more

Rugged SIM Cards for Rough Conditions
There has been a car accident, and just a few seconds can make the difference between life and death. But the SOS has already gone out - the emergency call was made by the SIM card installed in the car's electronic equipment. An application of this nature makes heavy demands on the SIM card. It must be capable of withstanding extreme climatic conditions and high mechanical stresses. For this purpose Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) says that it has now developed particularly robust SIM cards for fixed installation in automotive electronic systems or metering devices. more

Wireless M2M Connections in Europe to Reach 25 Million by 2009
A new research report from the analysis firm Berg Insight forecasts that at least 25 million machines will be connected to mobile networks in Europe by 2009. Currently Berg Insight estimates the number of wireless M2M connections on the continent to 5 million. "We know that growth in the number of mobile phones is coming to an end in the developed world. There is however now clear evidence that other devices will assume the leading role in market developments. As people migrate to the new 3G networks in growing numbers, the old reliable GSM-networks will increasingly become the domains of our machines", comments Tobias Ryberg, senior analyst at Berg Insight. more
