Pre-Paid Wireless Services For The Developer Market

Solving a Problem
Developers of innovative new M2M products often need to test their prototypes on live networks, but for relatively short periods of time. The number of units under test may vary from as little as one or two, to a field trial involving many hundreds of devices. What is common to all these evaluations is the need to have simple access to a reliable cellular network, for the period, and the traffic load, during which they are testing.

M2M DataSmart is a M2M Wireless Data Service provider focused exclusively on the provision of wholesale data services for the M2M market. Unlike a ‘traditional’ cellular operator, M2M DataSmart has implemented systems and services specifically for the M2M data customer – from Module Development Kit activation to commercial service delivery.

The M2M DataSmart network extends throughout the US, and seamlessly utilizes the ‘footprint’ of its cellular partner - Sprint. Its
services include EVDO Rev A, EVDO, and 1xRTT data services.

The Program’s Purpose
M2M DataSmart provides a simple airtime offering for this M2M developer market. The service has been designed to meet the needs expressed by many developers.  These needs are that they do not have a simple, easy and cost efficient way to test their products through the development cycle. Currently, their alternatives are to purchase ‘retail’ packages from existing cellular operators, which may have onerous termination costs, be difficult to activate, and provides no technical or development support. It allows the OEM provider to provide a focused and compelling evaluation program that can be initiated from Day One. The fact the pre-paid airtime service offering is time limited, offers the developer a true vehicle for evaluating and testing the product in a timely way.

The Service Offering
There are several key elements:
An airtime product, inclusive of service access and airtime usage. This can be paid by credit card between the developer and M2M DataSmart.

The basic service product offered is:
90 days of access, inclusive of 5MB of CDMA data service, anywhere in the US (subject to network coverage availability). The price for each service bundle is $99.00.

Web-based activation
Using our Web based activation portal - the developer can start the 90 day activation period on demand, can reload the account for more data or time and can monitor the amount of data usage has occurred as well as access to M2M DataSmart specialized Technical Support.

More than Airtime
The customer is notified automatically when they reach 80% of either their usage or time, which ever comes first, to ensure evaluations proceed smoothly. The developer can buy another bundle only if needed at that time.
