Sierra Wireless is providing an ALEOS AF Developer Kit accessory to demonstrate the power of the ALEOS Application Framework and benefits of the AirVantage M2M Cloud. This developer kit accessory comes with a complete working example of monitoring & controlling physical piece of equipment.

Specifically the ALEOS AF Developer Kit accessory includes a CrystalFontz Serial Character CFA533 LCD (with input buttons) as well as necessary power and serial cabling. This is paired with a sample embedded application and sample server application that demonstrate how to use the AirVantage Enterprise Platform APIs to remotely control and monitor the CFA533.

Sample Application(s)

The sample solution provided with the ALEOS AF DevKit accessory is a remote questionnaire solution. The remote questionnaire solution is comprised of:

• A web interface (web application) that provides users an interface where user #1 may submit a Yes/No question (e.g., "Are you excited about writing apps inside your GX!?") that is forwarded to an ALEOS AF application via AirVantage.
• An ALEOS AF application that receives the question, displays it on the connected LCD, receives user #2's response (per input check or X button) and submits the question back to AirVantage.
• The web interface from #1 that also displays user #2s response.
