ClearComm is a device management software platform for communicating with any wireless or wired device. ClearComm enhances the communication functionality of inexpensive, off-the-shelf modems so that they have the same capabilities as high end modems costing hundreds of dollars more. ClearComm eliminates the wireless technology learning curve allowing you to focus on building your core application. This will save you months of engineering development time and cost. With ClearComm you can focus on developing your core application without needing to reinvent the same functionality that all cellular, wireless, and communications applications require. Features: - Available as a Library or Stand-Alone Binary - Binary and ASCII protocol - Bearer Management - AT commands over SMS or Telnet – Remote Diagnostics - Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) updates - TCP or UDP Socket over Ethernet or GPRS / UART / USB Pass-through - HTTP POST, GET, PUT - Email SMTP and POP - GPIO Control - Flat "Tag" File System - NAT / Port Forwarding - Voice Call Management - DTMF tone generate and detect - Security, SSL, HTTPS, FTPS - Tracking Commands - General Device Management - Many Configuration Options Why ClearComm? With ClearComm, you do not have to learn the specifics of wireless technologies. The lack of wireless communication expertise is a common cause of unforeseen obstacles, cost overruns and delays that derail many wireless projects. ClearComm was developed by the professionals at ClearConnex who have worked with many customers to integrate cellular modems into their wireless applications. ClearComm provides off-the-shelf functionality built on top of the cellular module so you can get to market quickly. Bundling ClearComm with ClearConnex engineering services will further reduce your risks, costs, and time to market so you can meet aggressive schedules.

Clear Comm Overview

Off-The-Shelf
ClearComm is available as a stand alone binary file that may be loaded into Sierra Wireless Open AT based cellular modems. If the current version of ClearComm meets your application requirements then you can ship product today. No additional investment or development effort is required when used with a certified cellular modem and Application Server partner.

Custom Designs
ClearComm is also available as a library that may be built into any system. ClearComm is an ideal solution for adding wireless technology to an existing system. For new products ClearComm is a solid foundation for building new applications. ClearConnex engineers can also port existing applications on top of ClearComm and develop new application for a quick market launch.

Easy To Use and Cost Conscious
ClearComm supports two protocol types: Binary and ASCII. The ASCII protocol is easy to use and is ideal for building a quick system prototype. The protocol is based on V.250 / 3GPP 27.007 AT commands with addition features for enabling server communications. The ASCII protocol is human readable which permits direct human access to the software. It is ideal for testing, debugging, manufacturing testing or device provisioning. The binary protocol is intended for full product deployment. The binary protocol is designed to be compact, yet it is a simple and straightforward implementation. Depending on the usage model, the binary protocol may use less than 60% of the data traffic of the ASCII protocol - a significant savings in your data usage cost.

Future Proof
ClearComm supports Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) updates. Update your device without requiring a technician to service devices in the field.

Network Configurations
ClearConnex has worked with customers with a wide range of network configurations. ClearComm contains many options to configure devices to communicate with your server platform.

Application Server Integration
ClearConnex continues to work with application server partners to have the base ClearComm protocol integrated for the customer. This provides a truly off-the-shelf solution without requiring the customer to invest in costly server integrations. Using a ClearComm Server Partner ensures that you will get to market faster by only needing to develop incremental feature updates instead of the entire project from scratch. Below is a list of application server partners that have integrated the ClearComm protocol. For a demo of any platform please contact your ClearConnex sales representative.

If you already have a server solution then ClearConnex has a developed a sample test server application that implements the ClearComm binary protocol. This sample server is written in C# and the source code may be licensed free of charge to ClearComm customers.
