Prognoz Research Institute Introduces First in Russia Telecommunication Module Operating via GSM 900MHz Cellular Network

Saint Petersburg, Russia (PRWEB) February 6, 2000
Prognoz Research Institute ( Prognoz R I ) announced today that its Digital Signal Processing ( DSP ) laboratory has developed an industrial version ( GC-100 ) of GSM Conductor. GSM Conductor is the first special purpose 900MHz telecommunication module created in Russia. It is intended to control any remote or stationary equipment in GSM 900MHz coverage area.
"GSM Conductor is a low-cost but a feature-rich product with good prospects", said Matti Arjonen, president of Damsel Inc., which began the device selling in Finland. "The module is very flexible and some customers are interested in using it for rather unfamiliar applications: for example on the farms with temperature or humidity meters".
About GC-100.
GSM Conductor combines the elements of data acquisition system, operating system and signal processing system for different built-in applications such as operation of alarm systems or electronic traffic signs, gathering information from distant meteorological posts, gas and oil pumping stations, transformer stations, moving cars and carriages. Data transmission and receiving are possible in GSM SMS format or in direct connection mode using mobile phone or PC with a modem as terminal.
GC-100 version contains a 30MHz ADSP-2183 DSP processor, 128K FLASH program non-volatile memory, module of logical functions based on ALTERA CPLD, serial interfaces RS232 and RS485. Nokia Card Phone 1.0 is used as a transceiver.
GSM Conductor has 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs. The properties of inputs and outputs can be adjusted to needs of the customer. Any standart equipment including GPS receivers with NMEA0183 or TSIP interfaces can be connected to GSM Conductor. Communication protocol to be used, adaptive digital data filtering and buffering can be individually realized. Flexible configuration software designed for Windows98 allows the user to set up the device operating parameters and to fulfill the functional test.
