Cellular network connection to the cloud applications is offered with pre-installed 3G WWAN (Wireless Wide Area Network), which can be extended for higher bandwidth applications via a 4G module. With its modular approach of the well-proven production-ready COTS Small Form Factor Platform, the Kontron M2M developer kit enables OEMs and smart services developers as well as independent software suppliers (ISVs) to reduce development costs and risks and ensures a rapid introduction to the market.
