Integrated CommBox Modem (ICM)
The ICM is the transceiver and "brain" of the system. Its built-in
modem processes all incoming and outgoing data traffic using its
proprietary spread spectrum technologies. Its built-in router and
wireless access point (WAP) provide the connection to your onboard
local area network (LAN). And its easy-to-use web interface and front
panel LCD allow you to operate and configure all aspects of the
system.
