    Universal Socket Connectivity

    Multi-Tech’s Universal Socket is a flexible, comm-port architecture that provides cellular, Ethernet, PSTN or Wi-Fi network access with interchangeable communications devices. This means you can utilize one system design and populate it with your connectivity device of choice accommodating multiple connectivity requirements. In addition, you are assured a seamless migration to future technologies.


    Universal IP

    Multi-Tech’s Universal IP consists of a common set of TCP/IP networking protocols and M2M (machine-to-machine) applications implemented using a standard AT command interface. Universal IP allows developers to write their host application one time while having the freedom to select from a growing number of Universal Socket communication devices.
