Sierra Wireless technology enables solutions for a broad range of target Markets, including applications for Mobile Computing, Mobile Consumer Security, Networking, Metering, etc.

I am interested in integration and wonder how the SWI modem was being used. However, in most case we do not know the products or solution that we use in our daily life are actually embedded with Sierra Wireless technology. Nespresso Connected Coffee Machine is one of them.

I understand it may comes with legal concern but sharing on some announced and successful cases or ideas could be a good start for discussion, we don’t necessary to go too deep in details or the application flow, etc.

Thanks.

Hi Awneil,

Thanks for reply, I read your portfolio and it’s amazing (it reminds me the UV eraser for EPROM). :wink:

May I ask a bit more like,
What is your favorite and most used SWI product?
If Open AT Application Framework solve and eliminate the need for external processor (MCU) and in what case cannot?

Thanks.
