Highlights
Applications. The SocketModem iCell intelligent cellular
modem is targeted at applications that periodically need to
send or receive data over a wireless network. It is ideal for
asset tracking, fleet management, energy monitoring, mobile
and home healthcare, ATM terminals, point-of-sale, security
systems and remote monitoring applications.
Universal Socket Connectivity. Multi-Tech’s Universal Socket
is a flexible, comm-port architecture that provides cellular,
Ethernet, PSTN or Wi-Fi network access with interchangeable
communications devices. This means you can utilize one
system design and populate it with your connectivity
device of choice accommodating multiple connectivity
requirements. In addition, you are assured a seamless
migration to future technologies.
Universal IP. Multi-Tech’s Universal IP consists of a common
set of TCP/IP networking protocols and M2M (machine-tomachine) applications implemented using a standard AT
command interface. Universal IP allows developers to write
their host application one time while having the freedom
to select from a growing number of Universal Socket
communication devices.
Reduces Development Time. The SocketModem iCell intelligent
