Tiny modem module integrates RJ11 connector

The TinyModem is billed as the world's smallest modem module with an RJ11 connector.
New from Radicom Research, the TinyModem is billed as the world's smallest modem module with an RJ11 connector. Measuring just 17 x 32 x 19mm, the full-featured TinyModem with data, fax and voice capability is easy to integrate into small-footprint designs. Highlights include improved EMC/EMI shielding, built-in data pump, modem controller and onboard international DAA.

The TTL interface TinyModem tolerates high isolation voltage up to 3750V and is fully self-contained.

Standard features include caller ID, line-in-use, extension pickup, call-waiting, remote hang-up detection, datarates from 300bit/s to 56Kbit/s, 14.4Kbit/s fax rate, and voice playback and recording capability.

The RJ11 TinyModem module gives embedded applications designers more flexibility to add functionality to communications-enabled systems.

Its ultralow power consumption does not tax resources, and the TinyModem's tight configuration frees up valuable real estate for additional features in more compact designs.

'Radicom researchers developed the TinyModem module at the request of embedded applications designers who wanted the advantages of a built-in RJ11 phone jack encapsulated in a much smaller package - but without sacrificing any of the features found in our other lines of modem modules', said Alex Tsau, Vice President of Operations for Radicom Research.

'The result is a feature-packed modem less than half the size of the competition'.

Its small scale, combined with the advantages of a standard RJ11 connection and improved shielding, simplifies embedding data communications functionality into numerous devices, allowing manufacturers, designers and integrators to move products off the drawing board and into production more quickly.

The TinyModem module meets all RoHS compliance directives, and conforms to all standards required for immediate shipping to Europe and around the globe.

Line-in-use and connection detection features allow the modem to share a phone line with other equipment, eliminating the cost of a dedicated phone line, allowing field personnel to check status and receive reports on remote facilities and respond to abnormal conditions immediately.

Radicom Research's TinyModem is available now.

Prices begin at US $29.00 in quantities of 1000 or more.
