Intelligent EV-DO Cellular Modem
The SocketModem
®
iCell intelligent cellular modem is a complete, ready-to-integrate communications device that
offers standards-based dual-band EV-DO Rev A 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. With increased 3G packet data rates, the
SocketModem iCell intelligent cellular modem will support
highly data-intensive applications such as remote video
surveillance, multimedia POS/ATM terminals as well as
other data-intensive applications. For asset tracking and
fleet management applications, models with a dedicated GPS
receiver are available.
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 device
s. 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 machine-to-machine
(M2M) 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 CDG 1 and 2 network and RF approvals.
SocketModem iCell Pin-Out. The SocketModem
iCell
intelligent
cellular modem interfaces easily with existing
products through a standard serial or USB 2.0 interface.
The serial DTE channel is capable of transfer speeds to
921.6K 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. For a complete listing of the Developer Kit
