Serial convertor puts medical kit online
Multi-Tech Systems has added a new member to its embedded Universal Socket Connectivity family for the medical device industry.
The new SocketEthernetIP and SocketSLIC join the Multi-Tech family of SocketModem and SocketModemIP products designed for use in modem-ready devices.
This new development follows Multi-Tech's acquisition of Conexant's SocketModem business earlier in the year.
The company's subsequent decision to consolidate the ModemModule and SocketModem product lines came as a result of feedback from Multi-Tech customers, as well as its embedded/OEM representatives and distribution channel, on the strength and influence of the SocketModem brand name in the embedded market.

Multi-Tech's new "Socket" line of embedded products includes the following models.
The new SocketEthernetIP is a complete, ready-to-integrate serial-to-Ethernet module with a complete TCP/IP protocol stack.
It is used to connect legacy devices to an IP network for remote monitoring, control and configuration.
The new SocketSLIC is a complete, ready-to-integrate, isolated and programmable analogue-to-PCM (digital) interface module.
It provides all standard analogue interfaces (FXS, FXO, and E and M etc) on a single programmable module allowing developers to easily interface any telephony equipment.
The SocketModem (previously ModemModule and Conexant SocketModem) is a complete, ready-to-integrate, global line of socket-mountable modem modules offering V.92/V.90/V.34/V.32bis/V.22 serial and parallel data/fax/voice/IP capabilities including models meeting medical and industrial specifications.
V.34 fax is also available on selected models supporting Class 1.0 and 2.1 code sets and using fax compression conversion as and when required using the MH, MR and MMR compression techniques.

"The initiative to group all of Multi-Tech's products under the "Socket" brand has noticeably strengthened our portfolio of communications products thus enabling Multi-Tech to establish a position as the number one modem supplier of embedded modems worldwide", commented Dilip Mistry, Managing Director, Multi-Tech Systems UK.
"The new SocketEthernetIP and SocketSLIC modules add another dimension to our existing line of embedded products by expanding beyond modems to include other connectivity solutions developers often need".
The demand for this type of communication is growing significantly with the expansion of non-PC connectivity in devices as diverse as remote airport lighting systems, gas station fuel-level monitoring and in home patient medical monitoring.
Multi-Tech's "Socket" family includes modules that are designed specifically to meet medical and industrial specifications.
The products comply with electrical safety requirements defined by the medical device directive (EN60601).
This allows patient monitoring equipment to include an embedded modem used to transmit patient data to a caregiver.
In addition, the products can operate over a wide temperature range (-40 to +85C).
This is important for equipment mounted outdoors and in uncontrolled factory environments.
