Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) September 27, 2011
Multi-Tech Systems, a world leading manufacturer of cellular modems for M2M (machine-to-machine) communications, announces the availability of its MultiConnect OCG-E, embedded version of the Open Communication Gateway. A first in the industry, this solution combines an open Linux development environment, a fully certified 3G cellular modem and multiple interfaces in one embedded hardware platform, providing many companies the quickest and most cost effective path to enabling wireless M2M communications.
The MultiConnect OCG-E brings together cellular hardware and Multi-Techs CoreCDP, a distribution version of the Linux operating system and complete Linux build environment. The open communications gateway enables core applications to be embedded in the modem rather than attaching a modem onto discrete hardware running the core application. Combining the applications engine and the modem into a single off-the-shelf hardware platform, this Multi-Tech solution allows companies to create custom applications in a very short period of time.
We are pleased to address a very common customer requirement for greater hardware, software and form factor design flexibility. The combination of an embedded hardware platform to host a customers application, combined with a certified cellular modem dramatically reduces their time to market and cost savings, said Rick Bailey, senior product manager, Multi-Tech Systems.
All MultiConnect OCG-E models are carrier and PTCRB or CDG approved, relieving customers the burden and expense of obtaining these approvals independently. All MultiConnect OCG-E models are based on Multi-Techs proven hardware design featuring our SocketModem
