Wireless modem module gains GPS functionality
Alpha Micro's AMC1802GSXLA dual-band GPRS/GSM embedded radio modem module is now available with optional GPS (Global Positioning System) functionality.
Its users can now enjoy access to important data and emails anytime, anywhere with the additional ability to send and receive faxes, SMS and make and receive voice calls.
iTegno 3898i is also equipped with quad-band for multiregion coverage and global access.
Competitively priced, the iTegno 3898i provides real-time access to information at a maximum speed of 85.6Kbit/s using GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) high-speed packet-switched data transmission technology.
GPRS is deployed over GSM networks and users need only pay for the volume of data sent and received, which translates into lower costs for longer connection.

iTegno 3898i is compatible with all laptops and PCs installed with Win 98/2000/Me/XP and needs no batteries or AC charging.
The modem's compact and versatile shape fits into the PCMCIA slot and is compatible with all laptops that support both 3.3V and 5V PCMCIA slots.
