Highlights
Applications.
With packet data speeds up to three times faster
than ordinary GPRS modems, the MultiModem EDGE cellular
modem is ideal for highly data-intensive applications such as
remote video surveillance and other multimedia applications
where you are sending digital images, web pages and
photographs. Application examples include:
• Automated machine-to-machine (M2M)
• Public Safety/Emergency Services
• Public Transit
• Remote Industrial, Medical, Environmental Monitoring
• Remote Diagnostics
• Security Systems

• Vehicle Tracking/Fleet Management/AVL
Reduces Development Time.
The MultiModem EDGE cellular
modem can make your existing and next generation device
communication-ready without requiring any hardware
changes to its design. It actually provides faster time-
to-market because it relieves the burden and expense of
obtaining PTCRB and RF approvals. This complete, ready-to-
deploy cellular modem allows you to enhance your product
while you focus on developing its core features.
Packet-switched Data.
The MultiModem EDGE cellular modem
supports EDGE Class 12 packet-switched data. This enables
mobile Internet functionality by allowing interworking
between the existing Internet and the cellular network at
speeds up to 240K bps. Any service that is used over the fixed
Internet today – File Transfer Protocol (FTP), web browsing,
chat, e-mail, telnet is available over the cellular network as
well. It includes support for PBCCH, coding schemes: CS1 to
CS4 and is compliant with SMG31bis.
Circuit-switched Data (CSD).
The MultiModem EDGE cellular
modem also supports GSM circuit-switched data connections
up to 14.4K bps. CSD cellular connections are ideal for
applications that require a quick wireless replacement of
an existing point-to-point analog dial-up connection. They
integrate seamlessly with your current application requiring
little infrastructure change.
Short Message Services.
The MultiModem EDGE cellular
modem offers SMS features such as text and PDU, Point-to-
Point (MT/MO) and cell broadcast.
Internet-enabled.
The MultiModem EDGE cellular modem
includes an embedded TCP/IP protocol stack to bring Internet
connectivity to any device without making changes to its
hardware design. Using the Internet protocols and the
wireless connection to an IP network, it sends and receives
data over the Internet.
Industrial Chassis.
The MultiModem EDGE cellular modem
is packaged in a rugged, industrial chassis with an SMA
antenna connector. It can be desktop or panel mounted and
features numerous LEDs providing operational status.
Multiple Interface Options.
The MultiModem EDGE cellular
modem is designed around a broad range of interface options
including RS-232, USB and Ethernet to provide you with
seamless connectivity for your application. Each interface
option offers unique features and benefits related to the
technology it supports.
Serial Connectivity.
The MultiModem EDGE cellular modem
with a serial interface utilizes RS-232 or USB to connect to
any serial device to provide access to the Internet. The
RS-232 model supports DTE speeds of 460K bps and provides
a DE-15 voice/data interface and permanent screw-type
power connector. The USB model provides for the easiest
modem installation. The USB interface features a 12M
bps serial connection and utilizes an RJ-9 jack for voice
connectivity. In addition, it is host-based USB powered which
means no external power supply is required.
Ethernet Connectivity.
The MultiModem EDGE cellular modem
with an Ethernet interface provides shared Internet access
with one IP address. The built-in routing capabilities provide
DHCP services and firewall security utilizing Network
Address Translation. The modem can be configured for one
of three network connections: always-on, wake-up on ring,
or dial-on demand. The always-on network connection
automatically establishes a wireless data connection and
allows for around the clock surveillance, monitoring or real-
time data acquisition of any remote Ethernet device such as
a Web camera. If the data link is dropped in the event of poor
reception or a complete loss of service, it will automatically
re-establish the data link. The wake-up on ring configuration
allows the modem to “wake up” and initiate a connection
when it detects an incoming ring. For security reasons, you
can setup the modem to wake up based on the caller ID. This
configuration is ideal for reducing the costs associated with
the modem being online and available 24/7. When configured
for dial-on demand, the cellular modem only accesses the
Internet when data is present. This configuration is ideal for
sharing Internet access among networked PCs.
Industry-standard Modem Commands.
The MultiModem
EDGE cellular modem provides industry-standard AT-style
commands for ease of integration into your existing software
application.
Comprehensive Service and Support.
The Multi-Tech
commitment to service means we provide a two-year product
warranty and service that includes technical support,
24-hour web site and ftp support.
