Dreieich, March 15th 2007 - Round Solutions, a specialist and value-added distributor for M2M applications, is now offering its customers an attractive developer package. This includes the access to the www.track4free.com website and a starter kit based on what is currently the world's smallest GPRS GPS module. The package assists system integrators in the development of compact and inexpensive tracking solutions.

The latest positioning package from Round Solutions is based in the customer's access to the www.track4free.com website. This track4free server relies on Google Maps and offers free global GPS positioning. To use the online platform, a function-enabled GPS device is needed that can transmit geographical data via HDCSD, GPRS, EDGE or UMTS. Following registration with track4free, the user is shown examples of a map that illustrates his or her positional data along with a range of other information. This is enhanced by extensive documentation about the movements made by the user's device. Users can register up to two applications per account.

Starter kit promotes development
System integrators also have the option of using the Round Solutions starter kit when developing their tracking application. The Basic Board S3 is based on what is currently the world's smallest combined GPRS-GPS module, equipped with extremely small embedded antennas. The starter kit's core component is a licence-free Phython interpreter with a free-of-charge Phython code. This transmits the device's GPS position to the track4free server. The HTTP protocol is provided free of charge.

The starter kit has been developed completely as a BGA design. It assists developers in their mission to create very small and inexpensive positioning devices for various fields of application.

Extensive additional services
Round Solutions supports system integrators with design-in services and bespoke adaptations for integrated antennas. If developers have any queries, they can access 24-hour support from the world's biggest GSM / GPRS / UMTS / GPS user community, which has more than 3,000 members from all over the globe.

Premium customers can also have their designs and devices checked and tested free of charge by Round Solutions. The package is supplemented by a free marketing service, which establishes contact with several thousand companies. "Our services make it significantly easier for our customers to sell their products," explains Ben Hoelke, CEO of Round Solutions.
