The Omega-1 is a fully integrated package consisting of a 3-watt cellular transceiver, telephone line interface,  90 to 264VAC power supply board.  The enclosure is made from impact-resistant polycarbonate and provides NEMA 4X watertight protection.  

Features:

• Telephone line interface emulation for an end point device equipped with an internal modem 

• Cellular transceiver to provide an analog channel to modem at host end

• Large capacity rechargeable battery for power back-up operation

• High isolation voltage power supply unit (8K volts)

• Wide range input voltage switching supply (90-264 VAC)

• Omni-directional antenna for transceiver

• Impact-resistant, NEMA 4X non-metallic enclosure

• Internal modem options

Operation

The Omega-1 unit is designed to connect a remote end point device equipped with an internal modem to a head end computer when a conventional land line is not available.  The interface of the modem within the end point device must meet PSTN and FCC-68 requirements and be compatible with all standard TELCO handshake signaling.

Modem Interface

A standard RJ-11 modular jack connector provides the modem interface on the Omega-1.  The connection is a standard 2-wire dial line interface that has the following specifications:
