Radicoms's RJ-11 TinyModem Takes Size to New Lows
RADICOM RESEARCH ROLLS OUT WORLD'S SMALLEST MODEM MODULE WITH RJ -11 CONNECTOR
DATA/VOICE/FAX TINYMODEM(TM) WITH BUILT-IN PHONE JACK IS EASY TO INTEGRATE FOR EMBEDDED DESIGNS
SAN JOSE, Calif - January 16, 2007 - Radicom Research, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of dial-up and wireless RF modems for embedded systems applications, introduces the TinyModem(TM), the world's smallest modem module with an RJ-11 connector.
Measuring just 0.66" (W) x 1.25" (D) x 0.75" (H), the full-featured TinyModem with data, fax and voice capability is easy to integrate into small-footprint designs. Highlights include improved EMC/EMI shielding, built-in data pump, modem controller and on-board International DAA.
The TTL interface TinyModem tolerates high isolation voltage up to 3750V and is fully self-contained. Standard features include caller ID, line-in-use, extension pickup, call-waiting, remote hang-up detection, data rates from 300 to 56 Kbps, 14.4 Kbps fax rate, and voice playback and recording capability.
The RJ-11 TinyModem module gives embedded applications designers more flexibility to add functionality to communications-enabled systems. Its ultra low power consumption does not tax resources, and the TinyModem's tight configuration frees up valuable real estate for additional features in more compact designs.
Greater Functionality in the Smallest Package Yet
"Radicom researchers developed the TinyModem module at the request of embedded applications designers who wanted the advantages of a built-in RJ-11 phone jack encapsulated in a much smaller package - but without sacrificing any of the features found in our other lines of modem modules," said Alex Tsau, Vice President of Operations for Radicom Research. "The result is a feature-packed modem less than half the size of the competition."
Its small scale, combined with the advantages of a standard RJ-11 connection and improved shielding, simplifies embedding data communications functionality into numerous devices, allowing manufacturers, designers and integrators to move products off the drawing board and into production more quickly.
