aqLink

On the Wavecom website a plug-in, aqLink, is listed:

Delivery of critical data: The aqLink® Plug-In ensures the delivery of critical data over the voice channel when GPRS communication coverage is low during rush hours.

I can’t seem to find any other information about this plug-in anywhere else. Does anyone know where I can find it or where it is discussed in more detail?

I guess you should talk to your Distributor…

A quick search found this: airbiquity.com/pdf/productsheets/aqLink.pdf
Perhaps you could also try some of the contacts given there…?

It could, of course, just be marketing vapour-ware…

I have heard that Airbiquity was not selected for eCall - they chose the Qualcomm solution instead.

I found this whitepaper on the Qualcomm site, which says

@eCall Whitepaper

[6] 3GPP eCall Modem Selection
Qualcomm’s solution was selected and endorsed by 3GPP as the standard eCall in-band modem at the SA#41 Plenary meetings held in Kobe, Japan, on September 15-18, 2008. As a result, 3GPP has approved the final specifications of the Qualcomm modem at the SA#43 Plenary meetings on March, 2009, in Biarritz, France.

But I can’t find anything on the 3GPP site that specifically states that Qualcomm was adopted, and Airbiquity was not. The notes of the Plenary meetings seem to deliberately avoid naming the candidates:

3gpp.org/TSG-41-Highlights
3gpp.org/System-Aspects-status-after-SA-43

So, can anyone confirm this?
Can anyone provide a link to an official announcement that specifically names the chosen candidate?
