RICHARDSON, TX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Enfora announced that it is expanding its collaboration with Texas Instruments, Inc. (TI), and will develop intelligent wireless solutions using TI's NaviLink 5.0 single-chip GPS receiver. These solutions will be targeted at organizations that need to track, manage and control a wide variety of assets. Deployment of these solutions can provide these organizations with cost reductions and improved utilization of their assets, eliminating redundancies and enhancing asset lifecycle management.
Further to this collaboration, Enfora will incorporate a combination of TI's NaviLink 5.0 GPS solution, LoCosto single-chip cellular platform, and "ultra-low-power" microcontroller into Enfora's intelligent devices, including wireless modules and integrated products. These intelligent devices can be used, for example, to track shipping containers, delivery trucks and other vehicles or assets.
Enfora's integration of TI's leading-edge silicon into flexible, low-power intelligent devices will also allow application solution providers to adapt their applications to the remote asset monitoring, sensor management, data collection and location-based environments. Furthermore, these devices, particularly when coupled with Enfora's intelligent gateway, are designed to facilitate rapid solution deployment across a variety of applications.
"TI and Enfora have enjoyed a long-standing strategic relationship," said Mark Denissen, TI's Vice President, Strategic Marketing. "This expanded collaboration between our companies will provide customers configurable solutions for low power communications with GPS capabilities."
