The Global System for Mobile Communications Service is the most widely adopted, digital cellular technology in use today. GSM uses time and frequency division techniques (TDMA and FDMA) to optimize the call carrying capacity of a wireless network. GSM also provides a number of carefully standardized and broadly supported capabilities such as Short Message Service (SMS), circuit switched data (CSD) and General Packet Radio Services (GPRS). Used on the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz frequencies in Europe, Asia and Australia, and the MHz 1900 frequency in America.
2.5G mobile communication technology (GPRS) has become widely used of industrials and utilities in recent years and many customers are seeking reliable, flexible and cost-effective data channel to build their information system. Many applications such as ATM, POS, SCADA and surveillance system will require data channels covered all country; this brings a bright future for GPRS data networks applications.Requirements towards information system are varied because of different features of numerous industrial applications. Mobile telecom service providers are required to provide industrial application solutions not only meeting common specifications and also individual special ones.
ETPro 221 GPRS DTU enables various kinds of legacy devices with serial port to communicate over GPRS network and the Internet easily and freely. It not only works as a GPRS Modem, but also can construct a smooth "GPRS Data Tunnel" between Host End and Remote End, ensuring an efficient communication for data transmission and remote device management. With 1 selectable RS-232/TTL/485 serial port, ETPro 221 GPRS DTU is an ideal solution for factory automation, environmental monitoring and remote device management for M2M industry. Meanwhile, it is supplied with simple software interface that streamline application development process, freeing system integrators from dealing with complex communication protocols of GPRS and the Internet. Users do not need to change the existing system, saving cost and time for field maintenance, and making it a perfect solution for data transmission.
