Chapter 1 – Product Description
and Specifications
The MultiConnect™ AW Analog-to-Wireless converter is a turnkey solution that allows legacy equipment
with built-in analog modems to connect to a cellular network. By emulating the traditional dial-up PSTN
network and using a cellular modem, the MultiConnect AW converter gives new life to devices currently
using traditional analog dial-up communications. The MultiConnect AW model (MT100A2W-G) with its
internal GPRS or GSM cellular modem allows connection to the cellular packet data network (GPRS) or
the circuit switched data network (GSM). The MultiConnect AW model (MT100A2W) requires a Multi-
Tech CDMA, RS232 based external modem for the cellular connection. Both models are housed in a
rugged metal chassis. The MultiConnect AW converter operates on standards based communication
networks and can be desktop or panel mounted.
