Turku, Finland. (October 11, 2006)
- Viola Systems, a leader in industrial-grade wireless M2M connectivity
solutions, has today formally announced strategic partners for the
Mexican market.
“We proudly welcome our new, distinguished business partner
in Mexico: Teledata Technologies in Mexico City. Teledata has unique
expertise across various industry verticals. More importantly, they
are actively involved in various modernization projects in the utility
sector,” says Mika Marjalaakso, Vice President
of Business Development at Viola Systems.
“Viola enters Mexico at the right time
with unique set of products. For utilities, especially Viola’s
Arctic IEC-104 and Modbus Gateways look very interesting,”
begins Antti Linden, consultant for Viola in Spanish
speaking markets. He explains: “Mexico keeps updating its
countrywide network for vital infrastructure, like telecom, petroleum,
power and highways. Viola’s products offer unique possibilities
for our customers to access real-time information in remote previously
inaccessible field devices through a field-proven, reliable and
always-on communication solution.” He stresses, that for Mexican
conditions it is important that the Viola M2M Solution™ is
operator-independent; that means it allows the end-customer to choose
the best telecom provider in a particular area by eliminating the
need to obtain the costly private Access Point Name (APN) from a
mobile operator.
Private APN is usually needed in order to arrange
fixed, static IP addresses for field devices but the Viola M2M Solution™
can do this without the private APN.
Antonio Rodriguez, CEO of Teledata,
is optimistic of the new partnership and describes: “This
partnership with Viola allows us to offer our customers field-proven,
robust and secure wireless M2M connectivity solutions that are based
on new wireless technologies such as GPRS / EDGE / UMTS. For our
customers this means improved productivity and savings in maintenance
and operation costs.”
Teledata has set up a test system in their
premises and welcomes warmly all interested companies to contact
them for demonstration purposes.
