This program
is designed for the true ground-up developer, allowing you to send and receive
data over SkyTel's nationwide two-way data network. SkyTel provides an XML-gateway
to its wireless network to transport data to and from your assets. You procure
and program your own remote terminal units (RTU) using transceiver developer
kits from approved manufacturers, build your own application that interacts
with our XML-based network gateway using the WCTP protocol.

your development team to build your application.
- We may be able
to direct you to a third-party provider with an appropriate application
already in place, available for purchase.
- SkyTel can contract

How
do I order the Developer's Kit?
From Karli and Barran from Advantra
International. Working in conjunction with
the ReFLEX™ wireless carriers in the U.S., Advantra developed two OEM
ReFLEX™ telemetry radio modules: Karli and Barran. The devices differ
primarily in size: The smaller Karli module is 1.52" x 1.96", and the
Barran is 3.07" x 1.96". Both are easily integrated into many existing
applications, and are designed specifically for ReFLEX telemetry, supporting
the ReFLEX 2.7 protocol.

Kit, please contact Bert Devos at

What
is the SkyTel WCTP (Wireless Communication Transfer Protocol)?
The SkyTel Wireless Communication Transfer Protocol is a software development
tool, which permits developers and programmers to design and code software
used for a specific application operating on the SkyTel network. WCTP is
the new industry standard for two way messaging and its operation is represented
through XML and is transported via HTTP. The specification for WCTP can
be found at http://www.skytel.com/partners/dev_resources_wctp.htm.
