Intelligent GPRS Cellular Modem
The SocketModem
®
iCell intelligent cellular modem is a complete, ready-to-integrate communications device that
offers standards-based quad-band GSM/GPRS Class 10 performance. This quick-to-market communications device
allows developers to add wireless communication and GPS tracking to products with a minimum of development
time and expense. The intelligence of the embedded Universal IP
™
stack allows for automatic/persistent
connectivity for mission critical applications and enhanced M2M functionality. The SocketModem iCell intelligent
cellular modem is based on industry-standard open interfaces and utilizes Multi-Tech's Universal Socket design.

Highlights
Applications. The SocketModem iCell intelligent cellular
modem is targeted at applications that periodically need to
send or receive data over a wireless network. It is ideal for
asset tracking, fleet management, energy monitoring, mobile
and home healthcare, ATM terminals, point-of-sale, security
systems and remote monitoring applications.
Universal Socket Connectivity. Multi-Tech’s Universal Socket
is a flexible, comm-port architecture that provides cellular,
Ethernet, PSTN or Wi-Fi network access with interchangeable
communications devices. This means you can utilize one
system design and populate it with your connectivity
device of choice accommodating multiple connectivity
requirements. In addition, you are assured a seamless
migration to future technologies.
Universal IP. Multi-Tech’s Universal IP consists of a common
set of TCP/IP networking protocols and M2M (machine-to-
machine) applications implemented using a standard AT
command interface. Universal IP allows developers to write
their host application one time while having the freedom
to select from a growing number of Universal Socket
communication devices.
Reduces Development Time. The SocketModem iCell intelligent
cellular modem enhances your product while you focus on
developing its core features. It actually provides faster time-
to-market because it relieves the burden and expense of
obtaining PTCRB and RF approvals.
SocketModem iCell Pin-Out. The
SocketModem iCell intelligent
cellular modem interfaces
easily with existing products
through a standard serial
communication channel.
The serial DTE channel is
capable of transfer speeds
to 115.2K bps and can be
interfaced directly to a
UART or microcontroller.
The complete on-board RF
transceiver interfaces with
an antenna for direct connection to wireless SMS, circuit-
switched dial-up, or packet data networks. It also includes an
onboard LED to display network status.
Developer's Kit. The Developer's Kit allows you to plug in the
communications device and use it for testing, programming
and evaluation. The kit includes one development board with
RS-232 DB-25 connector, universal power supply, antenna
and RS-232 cable.
