Englewood, CO—May 2, 2005- M2M Data Corporation, an Internet-based Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) leader, today unveiled the latest release of iSCADA®. This 2.0 release includes additional functionality and improvements to the iSCADA®® M2M Service Platform™, an end-to-end managed network for communicating data between remote assets, operators, and enterprise IT systems. iSCADA® is a full-featured application for remote monitoring and control of energy assets. iSCADA® includes real-time data collection, alarming, trending, and control.

The new release includes 20-plus additions and improvements, including:

• Optimized overall performance. (Faster page loading especially for slower connections such as dial-up and GPRS.)
• Increased flexibility in asset organization. (Unlimited number of levels for assets and ability to associate individual users with selected assets.)
• Automated reports function. (Reports include shutdowns, alarms, data outages, run-time including up hours, down hours and run-time percentage for assets.)
• Search function. (Search for a particular asset or assets by typing in all or part of the asset’s name.)
• Advanced password security.

iSCADA® is a rapidly deployed, managed machine-to-machine communications platform used for monitoring and controlling remote, mobile, and fixed assets. iSCADA® uses Internet, wireless, satellite, smart field devices, and industrial M2M technologies to efficiently communicate operating data between people, devices, and systems. The service is provided on a turnkey basis including communication services with minimal or no capital expense, and is backed by a service level guarantee.

M2M’s iSCADA® service offers a cost-effective alternative to proprietary SCADA and telemetry systems traditionally used by energy producers and distributors to manage their remote assets.
Donald Wallace, M2M Data Corporation’s CEO, said of the new release, ”I believe the new and improved functionality provided in release 2.0 makes this the best product in the industry. I want to thank our customers for their support and their input into the development process that resulted in the significant improvements incorporated in iSCADA® 2.0.”
