Auriga, a software R&D services company with offices in Russia and the United States, has announced the availability of “Universal GSM Telemetry,” a framework for development of telemetry and monitoring services.

 

Delivered to Russia-based Compel, an electronics components distributor, Auriga’s “Universal GSM Telemetry” is a customizable, configurable platform that can be used to develop software systems for GSM telemetry, monitoring and remote control.

 

Company officials said that Universal GSM Telemetry (UT) is a framework to acquire, process, and represent data from remote GSM devices, and also provide means to control the remote devices.

 

Moreover, UT can be deployed to deliver a number of software for mobile devices, including route tracking systems or remote control systems on the basis of a GPS device.

 

Universal GSM Telemetry is targeted at the mobile software developers. Company officials said that the developers can use the framework in the same form or expand the capabilities by creating custom-made software.

 

A two-tier system, UT features a server that communicates with remote devices, processes the data and represents the data through a web interface, and a client that resides on remote devices and serves to acquire the data and transmit the data to the server.

 

Created and hosted by Auriga, the UT server collects and processes data, and is realized on a Linux/Apache/ MySQL/Java platform. Company officials said that it uses a database to store and process telemetry data, and send commands to the remote device. Also, the UT server provides HTML interface for accessing and monitoring data, and the client-server communication uses an XML-based protocol.

 

Currently, Auriga’s UT GSM Telemetry framework accompanies the Fastrack Supreme GSM device distributed by Compel. The Fastrack Supreme is an industrial Wireless CPU, programmable through any combination of AT commands, ANSI C/C++ and Lua.

 

“Mobile solutions are a very dynamic branch of today’s world ITC industry, and play an increasingly important role in our life,” said Gennady Mahov, director for business development at Auriga.

 

Having chosen mobile software as one of its priority directions for growth, Auriga brings its many years of excellence in embedded programming to this highly demanded sector, Mahov said, adding that this project will contribute to the development of mobile technologies, and bring value to the entire mobile development community.
