Smartcard consultancy and testing services
RFI is the first organisation in the UK to offer independent, commercial Smartcard development testing, consultancy and type approval services to manufacturers of Smartcard readers and terminals.
"We architected the Enabler IIIG specifically for M2M applications which require highly reliable, Internet based communication protocols and network management functions to operate in an always-on connected state without human intervention".
The Enabler IIIG supports comprehensive voice and data features operating at 850/900/1800 and 1900MHz in a compact footprint of 27.0mm x 28.0mm x 2.5mm.
It incorporates Enfora's IP router into the GSM software layer that saves integrators the time, cost and complexity of designing products to be IP and network ready.
Among the new features key additions include a TCP API and decreased network registration time.
"We are pleased to be working with Enfora as their first products come to market based on TI's LoCosto DRP-based single-chip cellphone technology", said Victor Epifani, TI's 2.5G Business and Marketing Director.
"Together we bring a cost-effective targeted platform to the mass market that combines Enfora's unique integration and IP competency and TI's leading wireless silicon solutions".
Continuing to drive customer adoption in the industry, RFI and Enfora have teamed up to develop a process to streamline approvals and reduce the time and risk of integrators bringing products to market.
Richard Jacklin, Head of RFI Cellular explained: "At the heart of the relationship is our ability to bring Enfora's customers a streamlined approval process".
"We produce a 'guideline for integrators' that makes accessing any retesting simpler, faster and lower cost".
"Integrators not from a traditional cellular background can focus on their expertise whether it is making telemetry, automotive or remote sensing type products versus the approval process for communications".
The streamlined approval process can be utilised at RFI's labs in UK and Korea.
The Enabler IIIG is fully certified to GCF and PTCRB requirements.
Development kits and samples are available today.
