OXNARD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading provider of wireless
products, services and solutions, today announced it has begun
commercial shipments of SMHEART LINK™, a new wireless telemetry
device for use in health and fitness applications, to iTMP Technology,
Inc.
SMHEART LINK is a wireless bridge that collects and wirelessly
transfers data from a variety of health and fitness sensors such as
heart rate monitors, cycling speed, cadence and power sensors to Apple's
iPhone and iPod® touch. It is available for purchase at www.SMHEARTLINK.com.
Designed in collaboration with iTMP and manufactured by CalAmp, SMHEART
LINK is a highly integrated system compatible with IEEE 802.11 b/g
(Wireless LAN) and two leading proprietary wireless sensor technologies
popular in the fitness and cycling industries. It is capable of
receiving data from up to five sensors simultaneously, and is compatible
with popular brands of heart rate sensors and cycling computers. SMHEART
LINK has a small form factor of approximately 3.5" x 1.5" x 0.5" and
includes a high capacity, rechargeable lithium ion battery to support
hours of workouts in the gym or outdoors.
SMHEART LINK seamlessly transforms smartphones into fitness
metrics monitors and brings the popular iPhone user experience to
millions of exercise enthusiasts who have invested in fitness sensors.
It utilizes iTMP's suite of fitness applications, including the iRPM+™
now available on the iPhone App Store and the soon to be released
iNewLeaf and iSPINNING. Because SMHEART LINK directly exchanges
data with the smartphone, a separate wireless access point is not used,
overcoming a typical limitation for those exercising outdoors.
"CalAmp's reputation as a dependable high-volume supplier and proven
track record of delivering high-quality wireless products make it the
perfect design and manufacturing partner for iTMP,” said Michael
Williams, founder and CEO of iTMP Technology, Inc. “I look forward to a
long and mutually profitable relationship as we capitalize on the large
and growing market for fitness and health metrics monitoring.”
“We are excited to support iTMP's vision of revolutionizing the world of
fitness and health metrics monitoring," said Garo Sarkissian, CalAmp's
Vice President of Corporate Development. "SMHEART LINK is an
innovative product that can benefit not just the serious or competitive
athlete, but anyone who engages in regular aerobic exercise."
