Proxima GSM Rack

Professional communication devices
Proxima GSM Rack
The easiest and safest way to implement a
GSM modem pool in your network !
Bausch Datacom has developped a 19" GSM modem rack system based on the Proxima and Indubox modem technology.
High performance and reliability are the key features of this modem technology.
The development of GSM/GPRS modems and RTU for the energy market is our core business. Our GSM/GPRS modems and
RTU range from DIN rail devices, external Indubox desktop modems to rack modems which have to fit in a 19" Eurorack.
The Indubox GSM/GPRS IV for example is a communication-ready device that integrates a Wavecom Q24PL GSM/GPRS
processor in a modem with sealable housing, RS-232 and RS-485 galvanically isolated interfaces, programmable watchdog,
wide range power supply (90-264 VAC), embedded OpenAT application and is approved according to extended electromagnetical immunity requirements.
In fact all our DinBox modems and RTU on Din Rail, our external Indubox GSM IV and also our Proxima GSM Rack modems
are based on the same embedded Wavecom Q24PL Quadband (800/900/1800/1900 MHZ) module with ARM7 processor,
supporting GSM data and GPRS Class 10 and integrating an OpenAT firmware version 6.57d.
The Proxima GSM rack modems as well as the Proxima PSTN V.92 rack modems are very stable and highly appreciated
modems for various industrial applications.
The Proxima GSM Rack Modems are integrated in a 19 inch RACK for maximal 10 x Proxima GSM Rack Modem Cards
including power-supply card. To manage the GSM modem pool, we integrated a Modem Management System - MMS - ,
a back plane which fits in the 19" rack. To this back plane the Modem Management Interfaces - MMI - are connected.
This means each MMI has its own Proxima GSM rack modem to control. The functions of the MMS are controlled by a Modem
Management Unit card - MMU - .
Typical Applications
Intranet
Dial in-out modem pool
Modem concentrator

Proxima GSM Rack Modem Features
Modem Management Unit Features
Proxima GSM Rack Modem Features
The MMS is a high performance modem management
system. One MMS system can control and check up to
10 GSM or 18 PSTN modems in the same 19" rack. It's possible
to cascade up to 32 racks, so a maximum of 576 modems
can be controlled and checked through one serial
connection.
