Cellular Wireless Technologies:
Modules / Modems / Gateways / M2M Data Plans

The popularity of cellular technologies reaches far beyond the use of voice calls via mobile handsets. Today, the cellular infrastructure is a global network of VOICE and DATA used in both consumer and industrial products. SMS text messaging, remote meter-reading, and wireless enabled vending machines are but a few applications commonly referred to as the M2M ( Machine-to-Machine ) sector. Hence if your applicatoin requires anywhere - anytime connectivity, we encourge you to explore our cellular products and data service offerings.

Should I choose a MODULE or MODEM or GATEWAY Design Approach?
Since each customer's wireless application is unique, especially in the embedded environment, there are many factors which warrant choosing an OEM Module, Modem, or Gateway Device. Below is a quick reference guide; please contact our qualified sales engineers to assist with your cellular design decision.

OEM modules designs are better suited for devices which require on-board integration, smaller footprint, lower BOM costs, and/or higher production volumes. Cellular modems provide a plug and play approach because all the RF and regulatory certifications have been completed - all that is left for the developer is for device control programming. Cellular gateways offer advanced control and networking features often found in enterprise solutions: built-in firewall, VPN, browser based control, complimentary wireless solutions, etc.


Looking for a CELLULAR DATA PLAN to fit your embedded M2M application? Not all carriers are equal, and the carrier network you deploy on is as important as the hardware you design with. Our M2M dataplans are unlike other 'consumer' plans, in fact most of our customers require only a few hundred kilobytes to less than 2 MB per month for their monthly needs. Hence, whether you are looking for < 100kB/month or up to 20 MB/month, see why your application deserves an M2M service provider!
