Embedded Systems<br />

Development, On-going<br />

The following embedded systems products<br />

developed by ASTI were commercialized<br />

this year:<br />

GSM Data Terminal<br />

The GSM Data Terminal is a solution<br />

designed to convert an ordinary PC into an<br />

SMS server. It is a package that consists of<br />

a GSM modem card and an SMS software.<br />

The applications developed using this<br />

technology can communicate with any<br />

SMS-capable device, and automate the<br />

handling of all incoming and outgoing<br />

messages and other data related to the<br />

client’s information system.<br />

Several government departments and<br />

agencies such as the Department of<br />

Agrarian Reform’s Information Technology<br />

Center for Agrarian and Fisheries, and the<br />

Department of Environment and Natural<br />

Resources’ Environment Management<br />

2009 Annual Report<br />

Bureau; as well as private companies<br />

like Upscaled Food Inc.; Tuloy Pinoy<br />

Organization; and CORE8 International<br />

Marketing Corporation, currently use the<br />

GSM Data Terminal to aid them in more<br />

efficient and effective implementation of<br />

tasks such as information dissemination<br />

and data gathering.<br />

PICMe Microcontroller Starter Kit<br />

The PICMe Microcontroller Starter Kit<br />

provides students, engineers, and<br />

hobbyists with a low-cost preliminary tool<br />

to explore the power of a microcontroller<br />

unit and jump-start their prototyping<br />

and product development projects on<br />

embedded systems.<br />

PICMe is pocket-sized, measuring 3.7”<br />

x 1.65”, and contains a powerful MCU<br />

with a dual function header. It is easy to<br />

reprogram, allowing fast error checking,<br />

and comes with a pre-installed PIC bootloader.<br />
