Telit Wireless (News - Alert) Solutions is keeping drunk drivers off the road through its CC864-DUAL cellular M2M module.

This module will provide wireless connectivity for the FC100 Wireless Ignition Interlock with camera and GPS from LifeSafer, allowing law enforcement authorities to monitor DUI offenders in real time.

LifeSafer has incorporated Telit technology into its FC100 to wirelessly and securely transmit daily reports.

This also allows immediate notification to authorities about offenders who exceed alcohol limits, and getting in touch with emergency responders if a user attempts to circumvent the device.

"By equipping the FC100 with Telit's wireless technology, we are now able to provide law enforcement agencies with the ability to monitor DUI offenders in real-time and immediately respond to incidents, keeping both the driver and other motorists safe," said Richard Freund, founder of LifeSafer. "Telit's compact modules were seamlessly integrated into our existing product and provide the highly reliable cellular connectivity critical to its effectiveness."

"LifeSafer's interlock device demonstrates that M2M technology can make a great impact not only on the user but also contribute to the greater good of society," said Mike Ueland, vice president and general manager of Telit Wireless Solutions North America. "This solution provides greater value and functionality for law enforcement officers in monitoring DUI offenders and incentivizes these drivers to avoid risky behavior, ultimately making the roads safer for everyone."
