Compass Intelligence recently announced it's "A-list" vendors in the M2M space. CradlePoint won the exclusive A-list distinction for M2M hardware. Other notable award recipients include:
- Integrator – IBM
- Wireless Infrastructure – Ericsson and Alcatel Lucent
- Health & Wellness - GE
- Retail/Point-of-Sale – CoinStar / Redbox
- Smart Grid / Infrastructure – GE
- Automotive – Ford and Airbiquity
CradlePoint's COR Series, which has become a "go-to" solution in the M2M space, was designed specifically to meet the space constraints and connectivity challenges of the M2M market. CradlePoint’s COR Series provides instant and reliable 3G primary connections for a multitude of applications, including retail, kiosks, digital signage, surveillance and monitoring. Unlike other embedded 3G routers in the market, the COR series provides multiple Ethernet ports and robust Modem Health Monitoring (MHM) to self-monitor and to maximize modem uptime. Large deployments of these devices can be managed using CradlePoint’s WiPipe Central management software to monitor, configure, and upgrade geographically-dispersed systems without requiring on-site technical resources.

This announcement comes on the heels of the M2M Evolution Conference in Miami last week. Our own Ken Hosac was there and offered up his observations about M2M and "The Internet of Things" in a previous blog post.
