Gateway C254 GSM Router

Connect async and Ethernet devices
to a GSM Network with modem fallback

The JBM Electronics Gateway C254 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 GSM network. The C254 provides protocol conversion, security and routing for the terminal’s data. A fallback modem provides a second path in the event of a disruption of the cellular service.

The C254’s low price point and advanced features provides a simple solution that can be deployed in a variety of network environments. The C254 is designed for low bandwidth applications, if higher bandwidth is required; the Gateway C134 provides the same functions and supports 3G connections. The C204 is the CDMA cell modem version of this router.

The C254 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.
