Feature Details
Integration Reduces Space, Power, and Cost. The SocketModem
CDMA integrates the controller,
RF transceiver, and antenna interface in one module. This integration requires low power and low
real estate, and it provides an overall reduction in costs.
Reduces Development Time. The SocketModem CDMA can make your existing and next
generation device, machine, or system communication-ready without requiring significant hardware
changes to its design. This complete, ready-to-integrate wireless SocketModem allows you to
enhance your product while you focus on developing its core features.
Short Message Services. The SocketModem CDMA offers SMS features such as mobile originated,
mobile terminated, cell broadcast, Over the Air Activation (OTA), OTASP, and OTAPA.
Management Features. The SocketModem CDMA provides advanced management features that
include: phone book management, fixed dialing number, real time clock, and alarm management.
Industry-standard Modem Commands. The SocketModem CDMA provides industry-standard AT-
style commands for ease of integration into your existing software application.
SocketModem Pin-Out. The SocketModem CDMA interfaces easily with existing products through a
standard serial communication channel. The complete on-board RF transceiver interfaces with an
antenna for direct connection to wireless SMS, circuit-switched dial-up, or packet data networks. The
SocketModem also includes an onboard LED to display network status. The SocketModem is a Data
Terminal Equipment (DTE) device with serial asynchronous protocol support. The serial DTE channel
is capable of transfer speeds to 230K bps and can be interfaced directly to a UART or microcontroller.
Packet-switched Data. The SocketModem CDMA supports CDMA 2000 1xRTT packet-switched
cellular data. This enables mobile Internet functionality by allowing interworking between the existing
Internet and the cellular network at speeds up to 153K bps (forward and reverse). Any service that is
used over the fixed Internet today - File Transfer Protocol (FTP), web browsing, chat, e-mail, telnet is
available over the cellular network as well.
Circuit-switched Data (CSD). The SocketModem CDMA also supports CDMA IS-95A and IS-95B
circuit-switched cellular data connections. Circuit-switched data connections support speeds up to
14.4K bps as well as Class 2.0 Group 3 fax. CSD cellular wireless connections are ideal for
applications that require a quick wireless replacement of an existing point-to-point analog dial-up
connection. They integrate seamlessly with your current application requiring little infrastructure
change.
Universal Socket Connectivity. The SocketModem's flexible comm-port architecture provides dial-
up, wireless, or Ethernet socket connectivity with interchangeable modules. This means you can
utilize one system design and populate it with your communication module of choice. In addition, you
are assured a seamless migration to future technologies.
