Telit Communications, Italian wireless communications developer and distributor, announced the acquisition of 75% of Bellwave m2m, a South Korean wireless communications developer of machine to machine modules, in a cash transaction totalling US$6.18M. Bellwave's m2m business has generated some $21M revenue in 2005 with dominant market share in South Korea close to 50%.

Bellwave m2m, which developed and marketed the world's smallest CDMA data communications module, has currently 40 employees. The combination of the two entities will create a new force in the m2m market, capable of servicing all CDMA and GSM and in a future also WCDMA markets, on a global basis. Telit ranks as the third largest supplier of wireless M2M modules on the European market behind Siemens and Wavecom.
