Partner O2 Communications Ireland jointly awarded for work with ABB Robotics 

Wyless, the international wireless data communications group, and partner O2 Communications Ireland have been awarded for innovative M2M services in the 2008 GTB Innovation Awards. Wyless was honoured for its work with robotics manufacturing company ABB, for whom it developed a wireless monitoring system for industrial robots.

The awards presentation took place in London on the evening of Tuesday, September 9th, 2008. Nominations for the awards came from readers of Global Telecoms Business magazine, which is published for senior executives in the industry worldwide.

Paul Smith, CEO of Wyless Plc, commented, “The Global Telecoms Business Innovation Award represents recognition for our work in the M2M space, our innovative work with partners such as O2, and our dedication to our customer ABB. We continue to strive to provide all our customers with the high-quality service associated with this award.”
 
The remote service provided by Wyless logs the ABB robot’s key diagnostic data and sends it remotely to an ABB service centre via GPRS technology. The robot can automatically alert the central database and alert the on-call service engineer, who can then immediately access a detailed data error log and quickly identify the exact fault, resulting in dramatically lowering the TCO for ABB.

Wyless manages a global wireless data network, that it has engineered through a strong knowledge and vision of the M2M industry, which enables organisations to securely and reliably communicate with and manage their remote and mobile devices, providing connectivity in over 120 countries. Wyless enables organisations to reduce the risks, costs and complexities of deploying and supporting mobile applications.
