AirVantage M2M Platform

Complete M2M cloud platform ready for application development

The Sierra Wireless AirVantage Platform is a secure, cloud platform that enables M2M solution providers, system integrators and businesses to rapidly develop, deploy, and operate M2M applications and services.  The AirVantage Platform includes comprehensive applications to manage cellular subscriptions, communications devices and their attached assets (such as components in machines, telemetric devices in automobiles, and monitoring devices in a home or office); a powerful set of M2M application development tools; and an open web services application programming interface (API).

AirVantage Services Platform

The core of AirVantage Platform is a scalable and secure Services Platform with a web services interface from which the AirVantage Operating Portal is deployed. The AirVantage Services Platform is used to connect any wired or wireless device and to enable developers to quickly create powerful, value-added applications for end customers.

AirVantage Operating Portal

The Operating Portal is a set of cloud services (SaaS) that support deployment, operations and support tasks, including

  • Subscription Management,
  • Device Management, and
  • Asset Management.
AirVantage Ready Agent

Each wireless device or wirelessly attached asset requires a small agent, called AirVantage Ready Agent, to support such things as server messaging, asset data instrumentation, logging, development tools and the Operating Portal functions.

AirVantage Developer Suite

Developer Suite is an Eclipse™-based toolset supporting embedded and server application development. The Embedded Developer Studio is tightly integrated with the Ready Agent. Embedded application development can be in C, C++, Java or LUA or the developer can use the component-based graphical development tools to create an integrated application without detailed knowledge of the embedded system. The Application Developer Studio is integrated with the Services Platform web services APIs and the Operating Portal, supporting web UI, mobile UI and Google gadget development.
