Jasper Wireless (News - Alert) has announced the launch of Jasper Link which is a software-based network adapter which is responsible for simplifying the process of building and managing connected devices. Intelligent mobile network connectivity for machine-to-machine (M2M) and consumer electronic devices is enabled by Jasper Link, whereby reducing the time spent by device developers on network connectivity issues and offering always-on remote device management capabilities.

In a release, Daniel Collins the Chief Technology Officer of Jasper Wireless said, “Time and time again, we see connected device manufacturers miss their target launch dates because their devices are not production ready, causing a significant loss in revenue. Many device developers, who are skilled at designing their own applications, often lack the wireless expertise needed to successfully connect devices – and keep them connected in the field. Over the past six years, Jasper Wireless has worked with hundreds of device developers to help them address this challenge. Now, Jasper Link brings that experience and expertise to the application developer in the form of an off-the-shelf adapter that they can include within their product.”

A new generation of connected devices is also being launched, which includes eReaders, automotive telematics, gaming, mobile healthcare (mhealth), and tracking devices. Such devices are developed by companies which are experts in their respective sectors, but who at times lack the necessary wireless networking experience. Hence at times, devices often do not perform properly under various network conditions, resulting in significant connection problems once in the field. As per a research by Jasper Wireless, more than 60% of connected device launches are delayed because of the arising needs for application redesign from such issues.

In a release, Neil Yarian the VP of Business Development at Pandigital said, “Our customers want to enjoy content – in this case digital pictures – on their personal digital photo frames in order to stay in touch with family and friends. To do this, we needed a reliable and stable mobile data connection. We believe that Jasper Link is the solution and solves a real need by greatly reducing and simplifying Pandigital’s product development cycle. As a result, we can offer our customers a wirelessly-connected digital photo frame that is incredibly intuitive, fun-to-use and reliable.”
