SUNNYVALE, Calif. Sept. 21, 2009 -- Jasper
Wireless announced today a multi-year agreement with
KPN to
wirelessly connect a host of consumer electronics and machine-to-machine
(M2M) devices.
The KPN M2M Corporate® offering, enabled by Jasper Wireless, is
designed to accelerate market entry for a new category of connected
devices on KPN’s global network, including personal navigation,
e-readers, mobile internet devices, gaming, healthcare appliances,
tracking, and telematics systems. The Jasper Wireless
software-as-a-service platform provides KPN with the applications,
design services and automated operational management capabilities
necessary to serve the unique needs of this market.
“Partnering with Jasper enables KPN to offer the complete solution
companies need to connect and operate their devices: global coverage and
a connectivity management platform that helps customers to design their
connected devices and dramatically shorten products’ time-to-market,”
said Kim Bybjerg, Director, KPN Managed Mobile Solutions.
“With the Jasper Wireless platform, KPN’s partners can reach the market
faster with high-performing devices, easily scalable deployments and
real-time connectivity control. This gives them the flexible and
innovative pricing structures needed to reach disparate demographics and
market segments, and makes this new category of devices even more
attractive for end-users,” he added.
“Embedding connectivity into the next generation of devices requires a
unique set of assets. Jasper Wireless provides a single platform that
enables OEMs to easily embed connectivity into devices and get to market
quickly – so their connected devices can be deployed profitably and at
scale, and the business can expand across multiple countries. With the
Jasper Wireless platform, KPN is able to offer its partners a complete

As more consumer electronics and M2M devices come to market with
embedded connectivity, market success depends on finding the right
business models to reach disparate demographics and population segments.
