Bell Mobility Adds Devices

VANCOUVER -- Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ:SWIR-)(NASDAQ:TSX:)(NASDAQ:SW) today announced that the AirLink PinPoint X and Raven X have been certified and are commercially available for use on Bell Mobility's high-speed EVDO Rev A network. These robust, wireless devices support the latest in high speed data technology and are backward compatible to both earlier EV-DO and CDMA 1X networks.

The AirLink X Platform is designed to meet the needs of customers that require high-bandwidth wireless access to mobile broadband networks for applications as varied as fleet management, commercial wireless networking, remote monitoring, utilities, automation, and security. Compared to earlier models, the Raven X and PinPoint X offer increased system processing power to take full advantage of the network's faster data speeds, with expanded memory within an enhanced and scalable architecture. Customers will benefit from download speeds averaging 600 to 1.4 Mbps (megabits per second) and upload speeds averaging 500 to 800 kbps (kilobits per second).

As with all Sierra Wireless AirLink devices, the Raven X and PinPoint X are powered by ALEOS(TM) embedded intelligence and provide an always-aware, always-on connection. ALEOS simplifies integration by managing device connectivity, maintains a persistent network connection, and enables comprehensive remote device management via Sierra Wireless's tools and utilities.
