m2m data communication via GPRS offers many benefits. In comparison to alternative transmission methods m2m data communication via GPRS is often less expensive; provides better transmission rates and is able to establish a connection within a very short space of time.

 

Until very recently m2m communication via GPRS was, however, only possible in a single direction – a mobile terminal could establish a connection to a control centre but it was very difficult to achieve the reverse connection. Communication from mobile terminal to mobile terminal in the past was also hardly feasible. Thanks to the mdex fixed.IP service this will not be a problem in future.

 

 

Finally - fixed IP addresses

We assign every one of your process computers with its own fixed IP address. Any and all GPRS- or UMTS-enabled end terminals can be used for this purpose. Any and all terminals can be contacted at any time via the internet or GPRS using these fixed IP addresses.

The corresponding GPRS costs charged by the network operators depend on the size of the data volume and the frequency of transmission. We recommend selecting a mobile telephone network data tariff for operation of the mdex fixed.IP service. Please note in this regard that some tariff options round up data volumes which might influence the over all data usage.

A product description and a short operating manual for the mdex fixed.IP demo kit are available for download as PDF files.
