Product Description
The MultiConnect™ AW analog-to-Wireless converter is a convenient 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 affordable 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.
