MTSMC-G2-IP) Introduction The MTSMC-G2 is a serial to wireless quad-band GPRS SocketModem. It is a complete, ready-to-integrate SocketModem that offers standards-based multi-band GSM/GPRS Class 10 performance. It is based on industry-standard open interfaces and utilizes Multi-Tech’s universal socket design. The SocketModem is available with the Multi-Tech's Universal IP™ stack to bring embedded Internet connectivity to any device.
Technical Specifications The MTSMC-G2 and MTSMC-G2-IP SocketModems meet the following specifications: Category Description Standards GPRS Class 10 Frequency Bands Quad-band GSM/EGPRS 850/900/1800/1900 MHz Serial/Data Speed Serial interface supports DTE speeds up to 921.6K IP interface supports DTE speeds at the fixed rate of 115.2 Packet data up to 85.6K bps...
0.080 0.135 0.280 1.250 without IP, too. Watts 0.382 0.664 1.358 Note: Current Peak = 1500mA maximum during Tx burst. * Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. recommends that the customer incorporate a 10% buffer into their power source when determining product load.

Changing the Quad Band The SocketModem Cell and the SocketModem iCell both support quad band frequencies (850/1900/900/1800 MHz). In reality, these products operate like dual, dual-band devices. In other words, they can be configured for 850/1900 or 900/1800 MHz. They do not auto-seek the local area frequency. Build Options These wireless modems can be ordered with the default set to 850/1900 MHz or 900/1800 MHz.

Chapter 3 – Design Considerations Noise Suppression Design Considerations Engineering noise-suppression practices must be adhered to when designing a printed circuit board (PCB) containing the SocketModem module. Suppression of noise is essential to the proper operation and performance of the modem itself and for surrounding equipment. Two aspects of noise in an OEM board design containing the SocketModem must be considered: onboard/off- board generated noise that can affect digital signal processing.
Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. strives to follow all of these recommendations. Input protection circuitry has been incorporated into the Multi-Tech devices to minimize the effect of this static buildup, proper precautions should be taken to avoid exposure to electrostatic discharge during handling.
Chapter 4 – Safety Notices and Warnings Note to OEMs: The following safety statements may be used in the documentation of your final product applications. Telecom Safety Warning Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. Never install a telephone jack in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations. This product is to be used with UL and cUL listed computers.
