Telit Wireless Solutions, a global leader in the field of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, today announced that it has selected Calixto Systems Pvt. Ltd., a Bangalore- based leading embedded product realization company, as its India Competence Center. Calixto was chosen as the Telit Competence Center for India based on its expertise in designing GSM/GPRS/CDMA/GPS-based products and its proven capabilities in high-level system design, hardware design including PCB design, software and firmware development.

As part of its core distribution strategy, Telit-designated Competence Centers play a critical role in offering M2M design, development and integration assistance to customers worldwide.

Together with Telit, Calixto Systems has already developed four solutions based on Telit’s GL868-DUAL product, which is the smallest GSM/GPRS surface-mounted module in the market. The solutions include:
·         Data Concentration Unit (DCU) for electrical sub stations
·         Unique GPRS tower-based tracking unit

Calixto’s proven experience in high-level system design and knowledge of the Indian market will help us reduce product development lifecycles and offer our customers highly cost-effective and impactful solutions that meet their unique needs. In addition to having established relationships with different stakeholders in the entire product development ecosystems, Calixto already has proven reference solutions for a large variety of applications across sectors. The integration of our world-class modules into their designs should enable us to quickly expand our footprint in India – addressing high-growth markets such as AMR (Automated Meter Reading), telematics and remote monitoring”, said Ashish Gulati, Country Manager, India Operations, Telit Wireless Solutions.

"We are really proud to be chosen as the India Competence Centre for Telit, as this reaffirms our position as a leading affordable product realization company, which is core to our business philosophy of system optimization and reduction in product development costs.
