TDC: 3G socket modem targets video surveillance systems; Embedded
systems support for HSDPA and UMTS made easy
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:18082008
Basingstoke, UK -- TDC is targeting video surveillance and other
multimedia-based embedded systems applications with a new socket modem
that allows tri-band UMTS/HSDPA as well as GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity
to be added to a new or legacy system with an absolute minimum of
development time.
The Multi-Tech Systems SocketModem HSDPA from TDC integrates the
controller, RF transceiver, antenna interface and SIM card holder in
one compact, type-approved communications device. The only additional
hardware required to complete the design is a suitable antenna from
TDC, a SIM card and a power feed. Offered with a choice of serial or
USB2.0 interfaces, the modem can be driven with standard AT commands.
The serial DTE channel is capable of transfer speeds of up to 920kbps
and can be interfaced directly to a UART or microcontroller.
Based on Multi-Tech's universal socket architecture, the modems can be
readily interchanged with Multi-Tech solutions offering Ethernet,
Wi-Fi, PSTN or other cellular standards - making it easy to offer a
range of communications options without significant hardware or
software development investment. The modems are FCC, PTCRB and R&TTE
certified.
