Numerex Augments its M2M Capabilities in Canada through Agreement with Rogers Wireless

ATLANTA, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Numerex Corp (Nasdaq: NMRX), a leading single source provider of secure machine-to-machine (M2M) products and services, today announced that it has entered into a long-term agreement with Rogers Wireless, Canada's largest wireless provider and a subsidiary of Rogers Communications Inc., which will further enable the expansion of Numerex's M2M business in Canada.  

The agreement will allow the provision of extended capabilities to current Numerex customers such as access to General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and, potentially, High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA).

Numerex's GSM initiatives in Canada include high data rate transfers that are well adapted to the growing needs of the M2M customer.  Numerex believes that its proven application tools and industry expertise coupled with Rogers' state-of-the-art technology will contribute to a fast and successful M2M expansion throughout the country.

Fundamental to Numerex's emphasis on significantly reducing the complexity of an M2M product launch, Numerex DNA™ (Device, Network and Application) is quickly delivered through Numerex FAST™ (Foundation Application Software Technology), an Open Platform as a Service.  Numerex's customers serve the end-user market and utilize Numerex's offerings as the foundational components of their own solutions.  

Relying on its extensive experience and expertise in developing applications in remote monitoring and asset tracking on behalf of its customers, Numerex expedites the identification of the appropriate technology, network, and device.  It also accelerates the application development and implementation process as well as the customization of a solution to customer specifications, efficiently bringing M2M projects to life.

"Numerex's commitment to providing a seamless and efficient M2M communications footprint in North America is greatly enhanced by our agreement with Rogers," said Stratton Nicolaides, Numerex's Chairman and CEO.  "Canada is an important market for Numerex, and our partnership with Rogers ensures that we continue delivering quality one-stop shop services to our existing and future Canadian customers."
