Proxicast is pleased to announce that it has become one of a select group of authorized resellers of interVOLT's "Mini Series" 24 VDC and 12 VDC isolated voltage converters and power conditioners.

InterVOLT's Mini Series voltage converters and power conditioners are excellent complementary products for the Proxicast LAN-Cell 3G cellular router, ensuring that clean, consistent power is supplied to the LAN Cell for problem-free operation. Proxicast recommends the use of an interVOLT voltage converter / power conditioner in any situation where the LAN-Cell 3G mobile router is connected to an unregulated DC power supply.

Many customer applications require that the LAN-Cell be powered directly from a DC source, such as inside a vehicle (automobile, truck, bus, train, van, boat) or from a telecommunications or control cabinet, solar cell, generator or battery. For the use with the LAN-Cell 3G cellular router, Proxicast is offering the interVOLT model SPCi-121207 for DC supply voltages ranging from 9 to 16V and the interVOLT model SVCi-241208 for DC supply voltages raging from 17 to 33V. These devices protect the LAN-Cell from reverse polarity connections, short-circuit connections, under-voltage, over-voltage, surges, spikes, overloads and high temperatures that can result in damage, unnecessary down-time and costly technician visits to remote sites.

The DuelAdapter Cradle mechanically and electrically bridges the ExpressCard and PC-Card formats with no compromise in speed and with plug-and-play ease of use. The Cradle seamlessly converts information and transfers data at the full PCMCIA and CardBus transfer rates supported by the host device. Moreover, the DuelAdapter Cradle requires no software driver.

The DuelAdapter Cradle is an excellent complementary product for the Proxicast LAN-Cell 2 3G cellular router enabling the use of ExpressCard modems in the LAN-Cell 2s PC-Card Slot. For example, owners of the Verizon V740 and Sprint EX720 wireless broadband ExpressCard modems, both manufactured by Novatel Wireless, can now use these ExpressCards in the Proxicast LAN-Cell 2 3G cellular router.

Cell-Sentry is Proxicast's (www.proxicast.com) exclusive new LAN-Cell 2 firmware feature developed in response to recent restrictions and limitations imposed on cellular data plan pricing by many leading wireless network operators.

Cell-Sentry is a watchdog application built into Proxicast's LAN-Cell 2 3G router that monitors cellular usage and alerts administrators via E-mail when a user-defined threshold is reached. It can even block additional cellular usage via hard "not to exceed" limits to avoid overage charges. Cell-Sentry can monitor data or time usage to match the carrier's billing policies.

Even if the user does not anticipate going over their wireless plans monthly allotment, the unique Cell-Sentry feature can protect against "run-away" applications that might utilize excessive amounts of bandwidth or from unplanned users connecting to the device and transferring large amounts of data.

Proxicast's LAN-Cell 2 cellular routers also include several other features that help control cellular data costs.

• Bandwidth Management The flow of data to the 3G cellular modem can be throttled, restricting the maximum speed to less than the available capacity from the carrier.



• Dial-On-Demand The ability to make instantaneous 3G connections only when outbound packets need to be routed to the Internet and automatically drop the connection when it is idle.
  
  
• Firewall Rules Using stateful packet inspection technology, administrators can block bandwidth hogging applications such as audio streaming or video conferencing.
  
  
• Keep-Alive Timers The amount of data used to maintain a cellular connection can be adjusted and the LAN-Cell can restart at specific times and stay connected only for a fixed duration.
  
  
• Security Features Unauthorized users can be prevented from accessing the Internet. Unsolicited traffic from hackers can be reduced via anti-probing features and secure user-definable management interfaces.

These data management tools can result in significant savings for users by allowing them to confidently take advantage of cellular carriers less expensive metered data (telemetry) plans often starting as low as $5.00 per month compared to $60.00 to $80.00 for typical multi-gigabyte plans.

Proxicast has prepared an in-depth Tech Note on how to use Cell-Sentry and other LAN-Cell 2 features to manage cellular data costs. The Tech Note is available for download from: http://www.proxicast.com/CellularCosts

Objective
Minimize capital expenditures, installation, support and ongoing communications costs; provide a communications infrastructure for thousands of GPS and strainmeter instruments across the western U.S. and Alaska; use a network solution that is ubiquitous and fast, supported by inexpensive equipment that has low power requirements and is easy to deploy and maintain.

Solution Description
GPS sites are connected by the Proxicast LAN-Cell 1x Mobile Gateway to the CDMA2000 1X national network from Verizon Wireless. Where data service is not available, GPS sites are connected to the CDMA2000 1X network by point-to-point RF links.

Results

• Avoid expense of nearly $1 million per year by eliminating the need for multiple modems and accounts
• Further scientific understanding of the North American continent
• Provide faster turnaround of data and analysis to member organizations
• Increase the data sampling rates at sites, to further improve modeling, analysis and prediction of seismic activity
