2 Cellular Standard Cellular technology is commonly referred to by "generation," such as 1G, 2G, and so on, in which IG is the first generation analog cellular technology. The primary difference between 2G/2.5G and 3G is the speed at which data is transferred over the network. 1G Voice 1G is designed for basic voice calls. Data transfer between phones is limited to analog signal exchange only. Generation 2G 2.5G 3G GSM Standard CDMA standards Other standards 2G 2G is designed for voice calling and simple SMS (Short Message System) text messaging between phones. Data transfer speeds are typically low, around 9.6 Kbps. GSM CDMA (cdmaone or IS-95) iden(usa and Canada) PDC (Japan) GPRS GPRS/EDGE CDMA2000 1x (1xRTT) G/3G Voice and Data 2.5G & 3G are designed for "always on" Internet (TCP/IP) access and rich multimedia exchange between both phones and web providers. 2.5G provides data transfer speeds up to 100 Kbps, whereas 3G achieves broadband speeds between 100 and 300 Kbps UMTS CDMA2000 1xEV-DO (EVDO) FOMA (Japan) TD-SCDMA (China) GSM standards are based on GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication), the most widely used 2G cellular technology worldwide. With GSM, all subscriber and wireless provider information is stored on interchangeable modules known as SIM (Subscriber Identification Module) cards. By swapping out the SIM card, users can painlessly switch phones or providers. GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) is the 2.5G extension for GSM networks. GPRS was further developed for even better performance, with Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE), also known as Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS) protocol. 3G service is implemented using a standard called UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System), also known as 3GSM. Although this technology is not directly compatible with GSM, the standard is implemented so that devices switch seamlessly between UMIS and GSM as needed. The term "CDMA" (Code Division Multiple Access) refers to both a spread spectrum technique and a cellular standard popular in North America (the full name of this standard is cdmaone or IS-95) CDMA networks boast greater range and clarity than GSM, and the subscriber information is programmed directly into the phone rather than on a SIM card. CDMA2000 1x (or 1xRTT) is the 2.5G extension for CDMA networks, and CDMA2000 1xEV-DO (EVDO) is the 3G extension. Both 1xRTT and EVDO are popular with carriers wishing to offer 2.5G or 3G service. In some cases, carriers that use GSM for 2G service have decided to use EVDO for 3G service. In certain regions, other proprietary standards are also widely supported, such as iden in North America, and PDC or FOMA in Japan. China has introduced its own official 3G standard called TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access). Benefits of Industrial Cellular Wireless Technology In the consumer and commercial industries, cellular technologies have enjoyed unprecedented success. The key component of the success is that cellular technologies offer a convenient communication method and connectivity by carrier. The success of cellular technologies has led to them being adopted in the industrial environment field. Cellular technology provides today s machine-to-machine communications with quick, easy, secure and seamless connectivity to cellular networks. The use of cellular technology for industrial applications is on the rise. Cellular technology business offers a number of key benefits. Mobility and Increased Efficiency Adding mobility to your operation and improving your ability to connect to remote access devices can lead to increased efficiency. Wide transmission range Cellular technology allows you to connect devices from a wider range of locations. You can send and receive information at any time without any limitation. Better Security Since cellular providers use heavily restricted and well-defined bands for their networks, cellular signals are considered very secure and not vulnerable to eavesdropping or signal interception. Cost effective In a factory setting, for example, using a cellular solution can reduce cost and time required for cabling maintain and installation. Cellular also allows for easier device installation and maintenance. The difference using a cellular IP modem and a cellular modem is how host PCs connect to the device. With a cellular IP modem, the host PC can connect directly to the device using TCP/IP. With a cellular modem, the host PC requires a separate modem to establish the connection. Feature Cellular IP Modem Cellular Modem Wireless Interface GSM/GPRS/EDGE/SMS GSM/GPRS/CSD/SMS Dialing Capability Yes No TCP/IP Stack Yes No Local Memory 8 MB RAM, 4MB Flash No PSTN modem or Cellular modem at both ends Not Required Required (except GPRS) Cellular Solutions from Moxa Moxa offers advanced cellular solutions to connect intelligent or non-intelligent devices to GSM/GPRS networks: OnCell G2150I, G2110, and G2110-T cellular modems The OnCell G2100 series of cellular modems are designed to transmit data and short messages (SMS) over GSM/GPRS mobile networks. The modems can help increase the efficiency of maintenance and communication of remote serial devices, independent of operating skill. The Evolution of Cellular Technologies CDMA, GSM and GPRS are the cellular communication standards that have been adopted by different carriers around the world. Although there are many proprietary and regional differences, two competing sets of standards dominate the worldwide market: GSM/GPRS and CDMA. OnCell G3110 and G3150 cellular IP modems The OnCell G3100 series of cellular IP modems are designed to connect non-intelligent devices to GSM/GPRS/EDGE cellular networks. Each modem comes pre-installed with the TCP/IP protocol suite to exchange data between the serial device and cellular TCP/IP network. They also feature a number of operation modes for easy integration into your applications without significant change to your software. Supported operation modes include TCP server, TCP client, RealCOM, and Reverse RealCOM.

3 Antenna Reset DI1/DI2 REPLAY PWR1/PWR2 Unique Features Ethernet Modem Mode Connecting a properly configured OnCell G3100 port to the MS-DOS computer s serial port allows you to use legacy software to transmit data over the cellular network, even though the software was originally designed to transmit data over a modem. This is accomplished by converting dialed AT commands into IP format. Monitoring Remote Meters with Cellular Technology For industries that use gas meters, water meters, and electric meters dual power inputs and a built-in relay. The modem can send an alert if installed at remote sites, substantial increases in productivity and either of the power inputs fails, and provides secure TCP/IP connections profitability can be achieved by monitoring the meters over the cellular to virtually all of your remote sites and devices. Since the monthly fee for network. One of the main reasons for the reduction in cost is the savings subscribing to cellular service is quite low, customers only pay for the data that comes from using less cabling. In addition, the time required to install they actually send over the cellular connection. For this reason, the both the meters and monitoring system is much less when using a cellular cellular solution is often less expensive compared to using traditional solution. land-based phone lines. technologies. Companies can create a Wireless WAN (WWAN) connection to remote assets for real-time, 2-way communications with equipment such as RTUs, meters, and FTUs. This is important for applications that have meters and devices scattered over a broad geographic area. GSM/GPRS/EDGE is a standard technology, and provides excellent coverage in both metropolitan and rural areas. Reverse RealCOM Mode Moxa s new cellular solution features an industrial grade IP-modem with IP modems make use of high speed wireless GSM/GPRS/EDGE When the connection between the host and your serial device is disconnected because of a frequently changing private IP address Reverse Signal Level LED PWR/READY/FAULT/ GSM/GPRS/DATA LED DIN-Rail RealCOM mode, can be used to establish a transparent connection from the serial device to the host side.this is achieved by mapping the serial port to a local COM port on the host computer. Flexible Connection Mode The OnCell G3100 IP modem provides three types of connection modes for GSM/GPRS/EDGE: Always ON, Inactivity Time and Remote Host Recovered. This provides users with greater versatility, and helps to reduce the total operational cost. Benefits Cost Using IP modems to transmit data over high speed wireless GPRS networks is an effective solution for utilities, since they tend to transmit low volumes of data at infrequent time intervals. By using a GPRS network, utilities can stay online continuously, but only pay when data is actually transmitted. Security IP modems use a high level of advanced data encryption to create a Protected SIM Cover Standard TCP/IP Architecture There are three modes are supported: TCP Server, TCP Client, and UDP. Whichever mode is used, once a connection is established the two sides of the connection can both send and receive data. secure TCP/IP connection, so that customer do not need to modify existing software applications. Industrial grade Dual power inputs and relays come standard on industrial-grade products Ethernet RS-422/485 Terminal Block RS-232 Port (male) I/O Function The OnCell G3100 IP modem has 2 digital inputs and 1 relay output built in.
