Dreieich, 10 July 2007 (profact) - Round Solution, a company specialized in machine-to-machine applications, has now introduced communications modules that can be programmed with Python, an open-source-licensed programming language. Currently available are an industrial-grade GPRS module (at 30 x 30 x 2 mm the smallest quadband-compatible GPRS unit in the world) and a combination GPRS/GPS module that also heads its class in terms of miniaturization. Both modules can be mounted in SMT (surface mount technology), thereby eliminating the costs of RF plugs and cables as well as time-consuming manual operations.

The combination of our modules with Google Earth and Maps services is especially attractive", explains Harald Naumann, Technical Director at Round Solutions. Access to geodata enables users to construct positioning equipment quickly and cost-effectively, for example. Round Solutions has set up an online platform for this purpose at www.track4free.com, from which developers can access Google services free of charge. "We also provide technical support through a users' forum on GSM; GPRS, UMTS, CDMA and GPS modules", adds Naumann. Accessible via the Round Solutions homepage (www.roundsolutions.com) the forum now has nearly 4000 registered members. "We offer premium customers a free design and equipment test", explains Naumann, who also cites the company's free marketing service, through which several thousand potential purchasers of these applications have been contacted.
