CalAmp's LandCell Cellular Modems


CalAmp has really gotten a hold of the LandCell line of modems. I think that the most exciting model is the 882, since it is capable of EVDO Rev. A speeds (or HSDPA on the GSM side) and the fact that it is a full-blown IP router (NAT, RIPv2, SNMP, etc.). From a SCADA perspective, that kind of speed isn't always necessary, but with more and more requirements for video over the air coming along, it sure is nice to have the option. I would imagine that the 822, which has the same functionality as the 882 but at 1xRTT (or GPRS/EDGE) speeds, will be more applicable to classic SCADA/M2M.

Looks like the manuals, data sheets and firmware are here.
