Embedded M2M Solutions - Reflection Solutions Talks M2M Space with TMCnet



Reflection Solutions certainly has its handle on leading edge technology as the company offers solutions that often incorporate machine-to-machine (M2M) technology, cloud computing and software-as-a-service applications – some of the newest, fastest growing technology trends today.


Reflection Solutions provides technology solutions designed to meet each customer’s unique needs by integrating premier products and services from across the industry,” David Kovach, co-founder and co-owner of Reflection Solutions, told TMCnet. “The most exciting aspect of our work is finding emerging technologies and applying them in innovative ways that extend benefits beyond traditional limitations and boundaries, empowering our customers with new and unique capabilities wherever they may be, even remote and rural areas.”

Kovach first founded Reflection Solutions after working in the technology and telecom spaces and discovering that there were many innovative technologies trying to emerge that had few ways to get that technology to market.

The team at Reflection Solutions saw an opportunity to help develop outlets for these available technologies by combining diverse components into end-to-end consumer solutions that integrate the power of carrier-networks and by building meaningful enterprise channels for product roll-out – and sometimes a combination of these strategies, according to Kovach.

“It took persistence combined with the ability to pair the right technologies with the right enterprise partners; and it required an equally visionary carrier-partner like Sprint (News - Alert) to embrace our innovations,” Kovach said of what it took to bring this vision to life. “Recent industry recognition, such as CTIA’s 2011 E-Tech award, validate our success in pursuing this vision.”

To help bring its vision to life, Reflection Solutions enlisted the help of Sprint, particularly since the embedded M2M solutions company is the recognized industry leader in push-to-talk voice communications systems and networks and Reflection Solution’s “amazing voice-interoperability solutions fit right into this strength,” Kovach said.

“During our work together, some of Reflection’s other projects caught Sprint’s attention – specifically, our work to promote the adoption of innovative technology to extend ‘meaningful healthcare’ into remote and rural areas of the country,” he said. “This led to a collaborative exploration of innovative product solutions that might integrate with the Sprint network, and ultimately a co-marketing strategy for M2M health solutions.”

Reflection Solutions, a founding partner in the Sprint M2M Collaboration Center, was recently named in the Health and Wellness enterprise and vertical market category of CTIA’s (News - Alert) Emerging Technology (E-Tech) Awards.

Aside from being a founding partner of the Collaboration Center, Reflection Solutions has distinguished itself in the voice-interoperability market by offering a technology solution that can connect virtually any voice-communication device with any other.

For example, with the solution consumers can use their smartphones to talk directly with a walkie-talkie system. This solution has found a home in the Army National Guard and the US Transportation Security Administration.

So what's next for Reflection Solutions and the industry?

“Mobility is the key – so moving to an ever-more-mobile product suite is critical,” Kovach said. “In this regard, we continue to enhance and develop our solutions to keep pace with Sprint’s communication advances – advances such as Network Vision. Here, again, the Sprint M2M Collaboration Center provides an important and unique opportunity for our collaborative innovation with some of the world’s leading companies, and we look forward to our continuing work with Sprint and their other partners as we develop these mobility solutions.”
