The WirelessCom/G10 is a GPRS/RS232 communication module interface. It is designed to communicate transparently  with remote devices which have RS232 ports. It uses the standard GSM cell phone network as the media to communicate.

Many remote devices such as data loggers, POS terminals, vending machines, PLCs, control panels, meters, switches, routers etc have a built in RS232 Serial Ports.  Often it is necessary to collect data from these devices where there are no other networks (phone, internet) available. For example a soft drinks vending machine.

The WirelessCOM/G10 is a ready-to-go solution for such situations. It acts as a transparent RS232 port, meaning that devices can be seen as if they were connected to your local computer..

Data collection, device configuration or monitoring and control can be easily done over the internet using the WirelessCOM/G10. Simply connect the WirelessCOM/G10 to your remote device via RS232 interface and configure it to connect to your server. Whenever some data arrives from your machine to the serial port, the WirelessCOM/G10 will connect to the configured server and transfer data.

Upon connection you can even send commands to your machine/device from your PC remotely. WirelessCom/G10 will thus transmit all the data coming on its serial port to GPRS and all the data coming from GPRS to serial port. In short it is acting as a bridge between GPRS and the serial port.

In addition to GPRS, a CSD connection can be used to reach  remote devices just by dialing into the SIM number of WirelessCOM/G10. WirelessCOM/G10 also supports SMS configuration.

 It is possible, using SMS, to remotely configure the settings of WirelessCOM/G10.  The device can act as a master, and initiate the connection to the server or it can act as a slave and wait for incoming connection.
