iMetrik (News - Alert) M2M, a global M2M wireless solution provider, signed a partnership deal with Monnit Corporation, a provider of wireless sensor solutions.

Through this agreement, both companies aim to enable them to offer the Machine-to-Machine market a plug-and-play, end-to-end, cellular enabled wireless sensing solution.

"Our association with Monnit will significantly speed up market penetration by providing a solution that the market has been looking for," said Medhat Mahmoud, vice president, Technology and Strategy at iMetrik M2M, in a press release.

"Both companies have developed innovative technologies that complement each other. With Monnit's aggressively priced products, strong sales and customer support, coupled with iMetrik M2M WAN/PAN Gateway (News - Alert) and global GSM network, we are excited about our possibilities for the future," Mahmoud added.

Both of the companies believe that by using Monnit's wireless sensors and iMonnit web application, and iMetrik's M2M Cellular Gateway with global connectivity, users will benefit from a system that eliminates development time and reduces installation to an absolute minimum.

The system will comprise Monnit's battery operated low-cost wireless sensors collecting information, transmitted wirelessly through the iMetrik M2M Cellular Gateway via the iMetrik global GSM network and iMonnit web application. Once installed, a user can access the sensor data, and monitor any asset from anywhere at any time through a computer or smart phone with Internet access.

"This cellular gateway takes M2M to another level by creating the ultimate in machine-to-machine ease of deployment," said Brad Walters, chief executive officer, Monnit, in a statement. "Jointly, we have eliminated the barrier to entry for potential users, who up to now had to piece together solutions at great cost of time and money. With our joint product, the M2M market has a one stop shop for affordable, wireless sensor solutions.”
