MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. --(Business Wire)--

Jasper Wireless (News - Alert), the leading connected devices platform for machine-to-machine (M2M) and consumer electronics, today announced that Optus Business has adopted the Jasper platform to wirelessly connect machine-to-machine (M2M) and consumer electronics devices.

Jasper Wireless' ability extends to a variety of M2M connections including but not limited to telematics, consumer electronics and m-health. The Jasper Wireless platform will provide Optus Business with the applications and services necessary to deliver new categories of connected devices on its network, as well as connect and manage a range of embedded wireless devices.

"M2M communications come into their own in remote or scarcely populated environments.

"The partnership provides Optus Business with the applications and services necessary to accelerate market entry of new categories of connected devices and profitably connect and manage a range of embedded wireless devices."

Jasper Wireless has developed the applications and services that support highly flexible business models as well as the automation of operational processes, including custom device provisioning, instant activation, real-time diagnostic tools and detailed billing and usage reports, ensuring a superior out-of-box end-user experience.

"The Jasper platform provides powerful intelligence with a live view of how devices are connecting to and using the network. By automating operational processes, it will enable us to streamline M2M deployments, reduce total cost of ownership and provide excellent customer experience," said Phil Offer, Vice President of Mobility and Convergence, Optus Business.
