Highlights
Applications. The MultiModem iCell intelligent cellular modem
with EDGE support is ideal for highly data-intensive, mission
critical applications such as remote video surveillance and
other multimedia applications where you are sending digital
images, web pages and photographs.
Universal IP for Enhanced M2M Connectivity. Multi-Tech’s
Universal IP stack (UIP) consists of a common set of TCP/IP
networking protocols and M2M applications implemented
using a standard AT command interface. UIP provides
developers a common programming interface effectively
future proofing their application as new cellular technologies
are introduced. Some of the benefits of UIP are Automatic/
Persistent Connectivity, Device Monitor, Event Monitoring/
Reporting, Ping & TCP Keep Alive and Wake-up on Caller ID/
Wake-up on Ring.
Reduces Development Time. The MultiModem iCell intelligent
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.
Multiple Interface Options. The MultiModem iCell intelligent
cellular modem is designed around a broad range of
interface options including RS-232; USB (supported in a
future firmware release) and GPIO to provide you with
seamless connectivity for your application. Each interface
option offers unique features and benefits related to the
technology it supports.
Comprehensive Service and Support. The Multi-Tech
commitment to service means we provide a two-year product
warranty and service that includes free telephone technical
support, 24-hour web site and ftp support.
