The BlueBird-CDMA is a fully integrated wireless modem, which means you can use it out-of-the-box to add CDMA & 1xRTT functionality to your application. You optimize the use of your resources and reduce the time-to-market because we have built in the functionality and benefits that applications require. No need to "re-invent the wheel" by developing manufacturer-specific interfaces and functions required with "base" modules.

Features and Benefits

Features Benefits
Pre-engineered, fully-integrated modem;
Standard AT commands, RS232
Universal antenna connection (SMA + other options)
LED indicators + Signal strength (RSSI) display
Eliminate cost to develop special interfaces for manufacturer-specific "base" modules and reduces time-to-market
Super-low power consumption Reduce cost & size of power sources, such as batteries & solar panels.
Configurable digital I/Os (1 input / 2 outputs) Monitor alarms & remotely activate, re-boot, turn on/off field devices.
Dual RS232 ports (Optional) Simply add auxiliary devices such as GPS, MDT, etc.
On-board processor (16 bits) Add special functionality and extend the benefits of your product.
TCP/IP Capable (1xRTT) Increase data rate and reduce connection time (virtually instant).
Auto baud-rate detection Reduce integration time by intelligently adapting to application.
Intensive engineering support for OEMs & System Integrators Reduce demand on engineering resources & simplify integration.
