Gateway C131 Router

Connect dial-only devices
to a CDMA or GSM Network

The JBM Electronics Gateway C131 is a compact wireless router designed to economically connect devices to a cellular network. This Linux-based router allows TCP and async devices access to a CDMA or GSM network. The C131 provides protocol conversion, security and routing for the terminal’s data. The C131 provide a dial-tone simulator that supports dial only devices such as electric meters, ATMs and POS terminals. This preserves the life of the terminals while eliminating the POTS line. The C131's CardBus slot support a carrier-supplied PC card for connection to the CDMA EV-DO or GSM Edge network.

The C131’s low price point and advanced features provides a simple solution that can be deployed in a variety of network environments. The C131 is designed for high bandwidth applications such as DSL fallback and small office connectivity. If low bandwidth connection is applicable for the application, the Gateway C201 (CDMA) or C251 (GSM) can be used to provide the same functions with support for 1XRTT or GPRS connections.

The C131 provides all of the processing capabilities needed to interface terminal devices to the host system, including custom headers, data manipulation and special routing. The Gateways’ fallback and management capabilities allow the units to be quickly integrated into existing networks and management systems.
