Looking for recommendations on good GPRS modem solution

Submitted by Peter van Es on Mon, 07/26/2010 - 14:47

I'm looking for a recommendation on a GPRS modem solution to allow my Portux G20 to connect to the Internet so that it can collect and send mail using smtp and pop. I.e. it needs a tcp/ip stack. Does anyone have experience with USB or RS232 type devices, and PPP or similar software on the Portux?

Thanks

Peter

We have made good experiences with the Siemens MC55i and ppp. We have not used any serial or USB modem though. We have used it built-in systems.

We are building a system with the stamp9G20.

As GPRS/UMTS modem we chose the telit UC864 and the GC864. They have lower power consumption than the siemens(nowadays cinterion) counterparts. And are interchangeable.

When using umts, it is recommended to connect it by USB rather than serial, because serial is not fast enough for umts speeds...
