 Frequently Asked Questions

What is Mobitex?


 Mobitex is an all-digital, packet-switched, narrowband, data-only wireless network technology used for machine-to-machine business applications. Mobitex infrastructure equipment is available on the 400, 800 and 900 MHz bands. It has become known as a key technology in the market, due to its outstanding reliability and consistent optimal performance.

What are the products and services offered?


 Velocita’s Mobitex network, which operates on the 900 MHz band, can be deployed in very different configurations, from small private networks, owned by a single company and used for local or regional operations, to a large public network offering nationwide wireless data services for a wide range of applications for mobile professionals. 

Who are our customers?


 Our customers consist of companies that want secure wireless data communication for their own business needs (dedicated networks) or want to offer wireless services to others (public and private operators). 

Who is the typical Mobitex user?


 Mobitex supports the widest range of data applications from wireless e-mail solutions like Blackberry ™, one of the most popular wireless data applications in the world, to customized solutions for professional users.

Velocita’s Mobitex network is most frequently used for machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. Typical areas include remote monitoring and control of alarms, power supply, heaters, gas, water and parking meters. You can also find many users among merchants who use Mobitex as a carrier for credit card validations and transactions.

Today, Velocita’s Mobitex network is widely deployed as a vertical solution for fleet telematics, equipment monitoring, security systems, remote monitoring, payment processing and other applications relevant to the transportation, industrial, buildings, energy and retail segments.  

What is driving the market for wireless business applications?


The machine-to-machine (M2M) marketplace is growing rapidly.  According to Harbor Research, by 2010, over 77M devices will require a wireless data connection.  Market factors such as increased energy costs, regulatory issues and a transition to a service economy are driving adoption.  Additionally, M2M applications enable organizations to reduce communication costs, increase efficiency, and optimize the use of resources. 

Why is Velocita’s Mobitex network better than a broadband solution?


Mobitex is a proven technology for M2M applications.  Unlike our competitors, who often require customers to purchase a minimum amount of bandwidth, Velocita’s Mobitex network provides our customers with the flexibility to purchase only the amount of bandwidth required to meet their business needs. 

Is Velocita’s Mobitex network fast enough to meet my needs?

 

Mobitex employs an effective radio protocol ideal for M2M data transmissions. Because of this, it only takes a few seconds, typically between 3-8 seconds, to perform a credit-card transaction, send a vehicle position or send a message reply. Mobitex users can send and receive messages instantly since there is no need to log in, dial-up or activate a transaction.

Who supplies Mobitex infrastructure?


Mobitex Technology is the sole supplier of infrastructure equipment but with an open specification, there are numerous retailers supplying applications, middleware, modems and terminals.
