Specication Sheet

The 3G Serial Modem (NTC-3000) is a rugged 3G modem that enables wireless data
communication and supports SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)
systems. It comes equipped with RS-232 serial data connectivity and a USB 2.0 port
for the real-time monitoring and control of machines in remote locations.
CONNECT LEGACY EQUIPMENT
Avoid the cost of replacing or upgrading existing assets that run critical
processes. The cost-effective 3G Serial Modem sends data to any
IP enabled device using RS-232 serial data. Ideal for SCADA use in
areas such as manufacturing, utilities, construction and agriculture, the
NTC-3000 enables the remote collection, monitoring and control across
a wide range of M2M applications.
NETWORK AND SERVICE FLEXIBILITY
Featuring a multi-mode data module, the NTC-3000 supports remote
deployments and allows you to choose between a variety of 2G and
3G networks.
UNIVERSAL INSTALLATION
Deploy M2M applications in any environment with access to a wide
input voltage range, extreme temperature tolerance (-40˚C to 85˚C) and
a lockable SIM tray. For easy installation, the compact NTC-3000 also
includes a DIN rail and exible wall mount options including a removable
mounting bracket.
OPEN AT
Take advantage of the custom NetComm Wireless Open AT application
