Xecom Introduces Modularized Global Connectivity Modem; World's Smallest Complete Modem Becomes Globally Enabled.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 8, 2003 Xecom Inc., a leader in the global embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. communications market, introduced today its miniaturized modular modem, the XE2420G. The ability of the XE2420G to provide a complete, global modem that operates at speeds up to 2400 bps and with low power dissipation and at a low cost of ownership will enable its introduction into many cost sensitive connectivity applications. Its availability in a miniature hybrid PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) A plastic, square, surface mount chip package that contains leads on all four sides. The leads (pins) extend down and back under and into tiny indentations in the housing. See chip package. package (HyPLCC) meets customer needs for small size and surface mountability. Applications include remote monitoring (protocol) remote monitoring - (RMON) A network management protocol that allows network information to be gathered at a single computer. Whereas SNMP gathers network data from a single type of Management Information Base (MIB), RMON 1 defines nine additional MIBs that provide a applications including point of sales and hand held terminals, set-top boxes The cable TV box that sits on "top" of the TV "set," although it is often located several feet away in an equipment rack. The set-top box descrambles the premium channels and provides a tuner for the higher cable numbers that very old TVs did not support. , utility meters A utility meter is any of the following metering devices used on utility mains:
The XE2420G consumes only 30 milliamps at 3.3 volts and just requires 50 microamps during Power Down Operation. It operates with a line impedance of 600 ohms, making it compatible with standard phone line systems worldwide. Its modular design In the context of systems engineering, modular design — or "modularity in design" — is an approach aiming to subdivide a system into smaller parts (modules) that can be independently created and then used in different systems to drive multiple functionalities. approach simplifies the ordering and stocking of components by the user therefore making its inventory costs minimum. Using this FCC (1) (Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, www.fcc.gov) The U.S. government agency that regulates interstate and international communications including wire, cable, radio, TV and satellite. The FCC was created under the U.S. Registered modem module saves time and cost in the design, test and certification of the modem. Internal V.42 error correction eliminates the cost and time necessary to incorporate error correction into the data formatting. The handset interrupt feature allows the modem to surrender the telephone line if a handset is picked up on another extension making XE2420G enabled designs suitable for applications which share a telephone line with voice calls. Its miniature hybrid PLCC (HyPLCC) package is suitable for surface mounting thus providing ease of assembly with minimum circuit board foot-print required. Operating temperature range is 0 to + 70 degrees C with -40 to + 85 degrees C available. Mr. Steve Clary clary: see sage. , Xecom's Vice President of Marketing, said, "Our world's smallest complete modem, the XE2420 has now become global with the introduction of the XE2420G. We expect that the introduction of Xecom's XE2420G global modem will enable a new wave of global connectivity applications because of its low cost of ownership, enhanced features, small size and convenience of use. The modular design of the unit will help customers reduce their inventory costs and provide maximum flexibility to meet their customers' requirements. The miniature hybrid PLCC (HyPLCC) package provides surface mount compatibility necessary for high volume, low cost of manufacturing applications. We feel that its low power dissipation is a real plus for many applications." Applications A broad range of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and global connectivity remote monitoring applications include: point of sale terminals, hand held terminals, set-top boxes, utility meters, single board computers and industrial controllers. Price and Delivery The Xecom XE2420G is available from stock in sample quantities. The unit price is $19.95 in 10,000 unit quantities. Xecom, founded in 1983, is a world leader in providing global solutions to embedded communications. The company supplies miniature telecommunications components, systems, and custom boards to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). The company designs and manufactures these products using state of the art integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for , hybrid, and printed circuit technology. Xecom provides easy-to-use, highly integrated solutions for fast, error-free transmission of voice, fax, and data over public communication networks. Standard and custom designs serve portable, remote, and embedded applications in industrial, medical, information technology, and communication markets. Transferable certifications on many products ease the approval burden and shorten time to market for Xecom customers. The company's headquarters is located in Milpitas, Calif. |
