"The Half-Inch Modem's small footprint and ease of use enables designers to provide connectivity to their applications in a very small space, adding value to products with its advanced communication features", said Alex Tsau, Vice President of Operations for Radicom Research.
"Our Half-Inch Modem drastically simplifies the design process for data communications functionality, allowing manufacturers, designers and integrators to move products off the drawing board and into production more quickly".
The Radicom Research Half-Inch Modem's award-winning design fulfills the very highest performance requirements for a complete dial-up data communications solution, and is pin-for-pin compatible to Radicom's WHM900 RF modem, giving manufacturers the flexibility of interchangeable modules for both dial-up and wireless connections within a single system board layout, helping minimise the cost of redesign.
The field-proven Radicom Half-Inch Modem allows state-of-the-art modem performance with minimal engineering resources, decreasing development costs.
Designers can choose the required features for their specifications, or choose from one of Radicom's off-the-shelf proven designs.
The Half-Inch Modem easily integrates online applications into many types of embedded host or remote equipment.
It is fully self-contained, and requires only a serial TTL interface and phone line access to provide data, fax and voice operation.
The modem's fast connection provides a simple but effective approach to data collecting, logging, remote diagnostics and communications.
Handset interrupt and connection detection features allow the modem to share a phone line with other equipment, eliminating the cost of a dedicated phone line.
Features like DTMF tone detection and generation, voice record and playback allow the ultimate flexibility for system designers to easily implement the Half-Inch Modem's versatile functionality into their products.
The built-in digital line guard protection automatically detects an overcurrent on tip and ring, preventing the modem from being damaged when accidentally connected to a digital telephone system.
Industrial monitoring systems, POS terminals, gaming devices, vending machines, remote monitoring and data collection systems, medical devices, home security networks, handheld computers, back-up communication systems and any small footprint device that needs to communicate data reliably with low power consumption.
Radicom Research's Half-Inch Modem is available now.
Prices begin at US $21.00 in quantities of 1000 or more.
Radicom Research's Half-Inch Modem will be fully compliant with RoHS regulations by the end of 2005, allowing manufacturers to ship to Europe well in advance of the July 2006 compliance deadline.
