Modems embed cellular comms
Multi-Tech Systems has a new range of cellular wireless embedded modems.
Applications for the new product include use as backup if a primary WAN connection fails, as a primary connection for temporary network locations, such as construction sites and tax offices, or for mobile networks as in emergency response situations.
The new MultiModem Ethernet Wireless Routers are expected to start shipping in the second quarter of 2006.
"By combining the attributes of a VPN router operating over the Internet and cellular wireless technology, applications in the M2M environment can benefit from a flexible, cost-effective solution that can often outperform dial-up lines", states Chip Harleman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Multi-Tech Systems.
"For instance, consider a company installing VPN connectivity to remote sites on a national or worldwide basis".
"By using a wireless provider with wide coverage, there will be only a single company to deal with, not multiple local companies and procedures".
"And with a single cellular company, volume pricing can possibly make wireless a lower cost solution, especially if landlines are not readily available".
"The pricing for wireless is also by usage, so low volume data applications do not have to absorb the cost of a full time line".
"On the performance side, newer Edge technologies can be faster than dial-up lines, plus the call setup time for a dial-up line is typically longer than wireless".
"This can make wireless a better performer".
"The point is that when considering the need for a secure remote connection, be sure to consider cellular wireless, and also be sure to consider the new MultiModem Ethernet Wireless Router to implement it".
