Intelligent Cellular Embedded Modem Now Features Dedicated GPS Receiver
Compact Solution Offers Enhanced M2M Communication plus Fleet Logistics & Asset Tracking Capability
MINNEAPOLIS, - Multi-Tech, a global manufacturer of device and embedded modems for M2M (machine-to-machine) communications, announces that sample units of its new SocketModem® iCell intelligent embedded GPRS cellular modem with a dedicated GPS receiver will be available to ship this month. This ready-to-integrate embedded cellular modem with GPS capability provides companies the ability to access location information along with real-time data. Businesses can streamline fleet logistics and track assets while significantly saving time and enhancing services.
"What is unique about the SocketModem iCell is that it combines cellular and GPS in one compact space-efficient device allowing it to be quickly and easily integrated into an overall fleet logistics or asset tracking solution," said Bill Chesney, Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
Multi-Tech intelligent cellular modems with GPS technology enable companies to strategize on avoiding bottlenecks, including time spent at loading dock and at job sites, travel times, and the length of time it takes for a truck to re-load. Businesses can now reroute and reassign drivers to different locations, eliminating the need to return to the warehouse for new pick-up assignments, which saves time and fuel. In addition, access to the real-time location of vehicle fleets allows for enhanced management of uncontrollable factors, such as traffic jams and the weather.
The SocketModem iCell with dedicated GPS receiver is the latest addition to Multi-Tech's Universal Socket family of embedded communication devices. 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. In addition, the SocketModem iCell includes Multi-Tech's intelligent Universal IP(TM) stack, which enables automatic/persistent connectivity for mission critical applications and enhanced M2M functionality. Universal IP also allows developers to write a host application only once, while having the freedom to select from a growing number of communication devices. This intelligent wireless modem offers standards-based quad-band GSM/GPRS Class 10 performance.
