Wyless, a global M2M managed services provider, has showcased how the company and its ecosystem partners — T-Mobile (News - Alert) USA, Telit Wireless Solutions and Arrow Electronics — are delivering end-to-end wireless connectivity solutions to the IPS Group, a leader in next-generation parking solutions. The resulting ecosystem is bringing tangible benefits to both the driving public and to the authorities responsible for parking in cities and towns across America.

Los Angeles, Denver and Beverly Hills are good examples of cities that are using next-generation parking solutions. Drivers and merchants in the downtown districts enjoy the convenience of credit card payments and the meters’ ease of use.

According to a report by the city’s parking revenue collections manager, IPS Group’s “high-tech, single-space meters proved more reliable, required fewer collection resources and produced more revenue than single-head meters at the same locations.”

Revenues in locations with IPS meters installed have increased between 20 and 50 percent. Thanks to their wireless data capabilities, the meters can reduce data collection time by as much as 95 percent. In addition, they will notify maintenance staff if a malfunction occurs, thereby minimizing downtime.

In addition, Wyless signed an agreement with Sprint (News - Alert) that will enable them to provide CDMA M2M data services to OEMs and application developers. Wyless can now offer a cost-effective, wireless “one-stop shop” for customers that will enable them to develop and deploy applications on the Sprint network as well as both GPRS and CDMA global services.
