Ositech Takes Lead in Cellular-Modem Communications
Jack of Diamonds Combo Card Employs New Protocol to Provide The Fastest, Most Reliable Data Communications Over Cellular Networks
Guelph, Ontario (December, 1995)
Mobile connectivity manufacturer Ositech is shipping its V.34 Jack of Diamonds Ethernet/modem PC with a new cellular protocol, MNP 10 Enhanced Cellular, that dramatically increases the speed, efficiency and reliability of cellular-modem communications.
The MNP 10EC protocol, developed by Rockwell Telecommunications and Microcom Systems, optimizes modem performance by reducing signal distortions such as station hand-offs, dropouts, interferences, fading, echoes and audio distortion. Jack of Diamonds with MNP 10EC improves transmission handling, resulting in quicker initial connections, greater call completion ratios and faster data throughputs.
Under currently-used protocols, the average cellular transmission speed is as low as 4,800 kbps, but with the MNP 10EC protocol, cellular-modem users can achieve average data transmission speeds of up to 14,400 kbps.
This new protocol saves both time and money for mobile computer users who need to send faxes, electronic mail and tap into online services via their cellular telephones.
The Jack of Diamonds combo card features a Direct Connect Cellular upgrade package that allows for direct connection between a modem and cellular telephone using just one cable, eliminating the need to purchase an acoustic coupler or intermediate hardware box.
The 28.8 kbps V.34 Jack of Diamonds is available for the suggested retail price of $599, and the 14.4 kbps version is available for $449. The Direct Connect Cellular package carries a suggested retail price of $99. All cards include a 30-day money-back satisfaction guarantee, a five-year warranty, access to a 24-hour BBS and free technical support. For more information, call Ositech at 800/563-2386.
