Ositech Communications Inc. is pleased to introduce the latest addition to the TRUMPCARD family of PC Cards, the Jack of Hearts. This card is an enhanced version of the existing 16 bit combo card. This new PC Card combines
CellFlex
Cellular data, 10/100 Ethernet, 56K modem and
DPI (Digital PBX Interface) capabilities into a single multifunction Type II PC Card.
The high performance global 56K wireline modem is complimented by the exclusive built-in
DPI
functionality, which enhances the users ability to access the Internet using digital PBX handsets most widely available and used in a business environment. These abilities are further enhanced by use of the optional
CellFlex
cellular Data kit. This option provides the user an ability to connect to the Internet using their cellular phone from within their Home network area or while Roaming. Together these features give the users the expanded freedom and ability to pick up their e-mail or vital information needed during the course of their daily business, from wherever they are.
The high performance Ethernet portion of the PC Card enables the users to connect to their high speed Intranets when in the office or at home to there Cable or DSL modems. The auto sense 10 or 100 Mbps-networking provides full duplex performance with N-way negotiation for seamless use. 10Base-2 support is also available with the use of an optional adapter. The Jack of Hearts also incorporates Ositech’s Advanced Power Management feature, which detects and shuts off portions of the PC Card not in use, thereby saving the user valuable battery life.
"This highly integrated multifunction PC Card is designed to provide seamless use of the various functions by the applications without any user intervention or reconfiguration," said Walter Hare, Product Marketing Manger at
Ositech. "Since the various resources are being managed by one single device, Installation and User problems with resource conflicts and allocation are eliminated," he added.
The Jack of Hearts, at a SRP of $299 US, is available immediately via the various channels. The
CellFlex upgradeable option at a SRP of $79 US will initially support handsets from NOKIA and MOTOROLA, with support for other handset brands to follow shortly after. For additional information and product pricing on the Jack of Hearts, please visit Ositech’s website at
