Cinterion hailed as M2M wireless modules leader
Headquartered in Munich, Germany, the operation that was spun out of Siemens' Automation and Drives unit was initially named Joint Operations for Mobile Applications (JOMA) by the new owners, which include Deutsche Telecom's T-Mobile Venture Fund and two private equity firms, including Granville Baird.
According to a Gartner survey, Cinterion Wireless Modules has a 34 percent share of the global wireless modules business for M2M applications.
"As market leader with an unmatched global approach Cinterion Wireless Modules is in the pole-position to actively shape the fast-growing M2M market," says Norbert Muhrer, CEO of Cinterion. "Thanks to our new independence, we will now add two more strong points that are of crucial importance for the business: flexibility and speed."
Muhrer said the company plans to expand by focusing on emerging vertical and regional markets, by introducing new technologies in the 3.5G and 4G arena, and on intensifying its solutions business, known as M2M One.
Cinterion Wireless Modules has taken on the entire management team and over 400 employees. In addition to the Munich facilities, the company has development teams in Berlin and Wroclaw, Poland.
Current turnover is about 250 million euros.

This month Keithley Instruments is giving away two of its Model 2200 power supplies, worth 735 Euros each, for EETimes Europe's readers to win. The Model 2200-20-5: 20V, 5A, 100W on offer is one of five general-purpose programmable DC power supplies recently launched by the company, designed for source measurement instruments for component, module, and device characterization and test applications.
Part of the Series 2200 family, the unit’s voltage output accuracy is specified at 0.03% and its current output accuracy is 0.05%. The supply’s high output (1mV) and measurement (0.1mA) resolution makes it well-suited for characterizing low power circuits and devices in applications such as measuring idle mode and sleep mode currents to confirm devices can meet today’s ever-more-challenging goals for energy efficiency.
And the winners are:
In our previous reader offer, EPC was giving away ten of its EPC9002 development board kits, worth USD 95 each.
Lucky winners include I. Blythe and C. Hardman from the UK, M. Casartelli and D. Cogliati from Italy, C. Cossio from Spain, W. Milarch from Germany, r. Milewicz from Poland, M. Prascak from Slovakia, A. Raidl from Austria and M. Taslakov from Bulgaria.
All should be receiving their kits soon. Let's wish them some interesting findings with their projects.
