LANCOM Selects Sierra Wireless HSPA Embedded Module

Sierra Wireless and LANCOM Systems announce that LANCOM has selected the Sierra Wireless MC8780 embedded module to provide mobile broadband connectivity for the LANCOM 1751 UMTS router. A business VPN router with integrated UMTS and ADSL2+ modems, the LANCOM 1751 UMTS router utilizes the integrated Sierra Wireless module to offer HSxPA network access at peak data speeds of up to 7.2 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and up to 2.0 Mbps on the uplink.

The LANCOM 1751 UMTS router with the Sierra Wireless embedded module, as well as the LANCOM 3850 UMTS router, a professional UMTS/WLAN router that offers mobile broadband connectivity via a PC card, ExpressCard (with Cardbus adapter) or a USB modem, are on display this week in the Sierra Wireless pavilion (AV99, on the Avenue) at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

The LANCOM 1751 UMTS and LANCOM 3850 UMTS routers provide a flexible option for internet access, or when used with the VPN, secure access to corporate networks from temporary or mobile work locations, such as construction sites or trade show conference rooms. They include an integrated firewall with the latest security functions such as stateful inspection, intrusion detection, and denial-of-service protection, as well as dynamic bandwidth management and backup and redundancy functionality, to provide a secure environment for enterprise communication.

The MC8780 embedded module offers tri-band UMTS/HSPA and quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE network access for roaming on mobile broadband networks worldwide. The MC8780 also offers Receive Diversity and GPS support. Designed for integration into notebook computers, fixed wireless terminals, and other devices requiring high-speed wireless connectivity, Sierra Wireless PCI Express Mini Card embedded modules for HSUPA networks are fully shielded and offer an operating temperature range of -25 to +60 degrees Celsius to suit all applications.
