What Can I Do with My Radio Modem?
The radio modem in your mobile computer gives you the freedom to
send and receive data without connecting to the wired telephone
system or traditional wired networks. Common uses of radio
communications include dispatching, personal messaging, and
accessing remote host computer systems.
Cellular radio modems offer an additional capability to use your
computer as a cellular phone. When you are not sending or receiving
data, you can switch the modem into voice mode using your mobile
computer’s Speaker Phone program. GSM modems offer voice, data,
fax, and short messaging system (SMS) and WLAN wireless network
cards offer wireless connections to your network
The exact capabilities of your radio modem are determined by the
communications software you are using, and the services provided by
your wireless network provider. Refer to the documentation provided
with your communications software for information on using the
program with a radio network. Your network provider can answer
questions regarding specific network features, host connectivity,
registration options, billing, and geographic coverage areas. In some
cases, your network provider can also assist you with selecting modem
setup options for your communications software.
