KORE Telematics, a digital wireless services provider specializing in machine-to-machine “M2M” communications, and Motorola have announced a joint collaboration to obtain CDMA device approval for the MedApps HealthPal MA106 and the M2M Communications Tracker.

Officials with KORE said that the devices were approved through the company’s 'One-Stop' CDMA Device Accreditation Service, with Motorola (News - Alert) providing technical support to the company.  

The service, which is created to support KORE partners, is designed to streamline and reduce the cost of CDMA approvals for devices used in M2M applications on the KORE network.

'MedApps and M2M Communications join a growing list of KORE customers who've been fast-tracked to CDMA device approval through the KORE service. Since the 'One-Stop' CDMA Accreditation Service debuted, we've fast-tracked nine devices in fields such as fleet/AVL, environmental monitoring and healthcare and have a similar number in the pipeline,” said Alex Brisbourne, president and chief operating officer at KORE Telematics.

Brisbourne also said that by taking advantage of the service, the company’s customers can focus on getting applications to market, rather than expending time and money on lengthy device approval processes.

'At Motorola we provide our customers with best in class technology and expert support. Our wireless modules enable trusted 24/7 wireless connectivity to critical applications for the healthcare and environmental monitoring markets, which demand reliable solutions - from the core of the wireless module through the network,' said Dennis Kelly, NA sales director, Motorola M2M Solutions.

Kelly said that the company is proud to partner with KORE to provide mutual customers strong commercial and technical services, allowing them to launch products as rapidly as possible with minimal distractions.

He said that together with KORE, Motorola can offer its M2M customers a robust and dependable end-to-end solution.

Company officials also said that the MedApps Mobile Wireless Health Monitoring System relies on the KORE cellular M2M network to remotely collect, store and report timely and accurate health information from any location.

MedApps HealthPal MA106 is a core component of the system. It helps patients play a more active role in their own healthcare while staying connected to their healthcare providers. For clinicians, it provides a convenient way to monitor and review daily health readings.

Kent Dicks, founder and CEO of MedApps said that KORE and Motorola have been instrumental in the development of the company’s next product, the HealthPAL MA106, which will complement current HealthPAL MA105 GSM product line with CDMA networking capability.
