PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Redhawk II Modem is built around the Eagle II™ Data Terminal, a compact,
wireless modem that utilizes the international standard Global System for Mobile
communications (GSM). The data terminal enables low-cost, application-specific,
two-way communication and control. It takes full advantage of GSM capabilities
such as Subscriber Identity Modules (SIM), which are "smart cards" that provides
numerous advantages.
Over-the-air communication lets the Redhawk II terminal accomplish tasks that
previously required on-site visits and offers innovative new service capabilities never
before available. In addition, terminal authentication and data encryption ensures a
more confidential communication link between the terminal user and the data
recipient.
