'Instant Internet' for wireless devices

21 May 2003 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

iC101 iConnector is a small adapter from Connect One that enables installed devices to connect to the Internet via wireless modems and data-enabled phones that use AMPS, CDMA, GPRS, GSM, iDEN, and TDMA networks. iConnector provides so-called 'instant Internet' connectivity for installed legacy devices by eliminating the need for any hardware modification to the host device.

The Internet engine inside iConnector is Connect One's firmware-based, remotely updateable iChip Internet Controller, which stores the Internet protocol stack in flash memory. The iConnector is simply installed between a device and a wireless modem or data-enabled phone to Internet-enable one's host device.

Connect One's AT+i protocol eliminates the need for Internet programming and minimises changes to the host application. Connect One's SerialNET mode completely eliminates the need for changes to the host application, as it is a direct serial-to-Internet port server.

iConnector is a compact adapter, measuring 42,7 x 69,2 x 20,2 mm that is ideal for installation on mobile products or in remote locations. Various versions of iConnector are available: models for DTE-DCE or DCE-DCE configuration; one that takes power from an external power supply and one that is powered by host device via pin 9 of the host DB-9 connector; and units for either industrial or commercial temperature ranges.
