Telit Wireless (News - Alert) Solutions, a global machine-to-machine (M2M) technology company, announced that its cellular M2M modules are empowering GROUND Lab, an engineering, research and development firm.

These cellular M2M modules are being incorporated into a variety of applications with societal and environmental benefits to GROUND Lab.

Creating technological solutions, GROUND Lab addresses environmental, social and humanitarian challenges. Telit M2M modules are vital to the success of several devices created by the firm.

“We conducted extensive research of embedded cellular modules for our applications and found Telit’s products provided the highest reliability under harsh conditions at the small size we needed for our compact designs,” said Benedetta Piantella, co-founder of GROUND Lab, in a statement. “Telit’s durable and dependable cellular modules have been crucial in meeting the needs of our clients.”

Leveraging the Telit M2M modules, GROUND Lab’s devices can communicate data via wireless networks. Telit incorporated modules such as the GE865-QUAD for the lion collars; the GM862-GPS for the UNICEF prototype; and the GE863-GPS and GE864-GPS for the SharedSolar and GSM printer applications.

“From mHealth to pet tracking to smart metering, Telit is continuing to enable new M2M-based connected technologies that enhance our everyday lives,” said Mike Ueland, vice president and general manager of Telit North America. “The outstanding minds behind GROUND Lab demonstrate how these same device concepts can be applied to humanitarian and conservationist efforts, broadening M2M’s impact on a global scale.”

Recently, Telit Wireless Solutions announced the completion of the acquisition of Motorola Solutions' M2M modules business unit for $23 million. The company will also be spending an additional $3 million on inventory in relation to the newly-acquired product line. Telit will continue to support and develop all products as needed, including the G24 family, G24-Light, G30 and C24.
