Embedded Cellular Modem
The SocketModem
®
EDGE cellular modem delivers enhanced data speeds when compared to GPRS by utilizing
EDGE technology. It allows users to connect to the Internet and send and receive data up to three times faster
than possible with an ordinary GSM/GPRS network making it ideal for data-intensive applications. Based on
industry-standard open interfaces, the SocketModem EDGE cellular modem is equipped with quad-band GSM,
which means it can be used worldwide on all existing GSM networks. In addition, it utilizes Multi-Tech’s Universal
Socket design.

Highlights
Applications. With packet data speeds up to three times
faster than ordinary GPRS modems, the SocketModem EDGE
cellular modem is targeted at data-intensive applications
such as remote video surveillance and other multimedia
applications where you are sending digital images, web pages
and photographs.
Integration Reduces Space, Power and Cost. The SocketModem
EDGE cellular modem integrates the controller, RF
transceiver, and antenna interface in one
communications
device
. This integration requires low power, low real estate
and provides an overall reduction in costs.
Reduces Development Time. The SocketModem EDGE
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.
Internet-enabled. The SocketModem EDGE cellular modem
includes an embedded TCP/IP protocol stack to bring Internet
connectivity to any device without making changes to its
hardware design. Using the Internet protocols and the
wireless connection to an IP network, it sends and receives
data over the Internet.
SocketModem EDGE Pin-Out. The SocketModem EDGE
cellular modem interfaces easily with existing products
through a standard serial communication channel. The
serial DTE channel is capable of transfer speeds to 460K 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.
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.
Developers 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.
