Universal IP for Enhanced M2M Connectivity. Multi-Tech’s
Universal IP stack consists of a common set of TCP/IP
networking protocols and M2M applications implemented
using a standard AT command interface. Universal IP
provides developers a common programming interface
effectively future proofing their application as new cellular
technologies are introduced. Some of the benefits of
Universal IP are Automatic/Persistent Connectivity, Device
Monitor, Event Monitoring/Reporting, Ping & TCP Keep Alive
and Wake-up on Caller ID/Wake-up on Ring.
