    DCP-Intelimax Digital Cell Phone Kit Introduction The DCP-Intelimax Digital Cell Phone Kit is Campbell Scientific Australia’s industrial cell phone kit for use with 2G and 3G networks. Suitable for use throughout Australia and capable of automatically detecting local communications frequencies and accepting an appropriate local SIM across the world.
  • Page 6: Specifications

    Appendix Title Though this manual focuses on use of the Intelimax modem kit with Telstra’s NextG service, the Intelimax is compatible with all 3G and GSM frequency bands including those used by Optus, Vodafone and their resellers. Coverage maps are available from the service providers. Please note however that even though an area is shown as covered on the map, it is important to check the signal strength on site.
