Abstract:
A computing device (100) including a wireless packet data communications modem (101) used in conjunction with a computer (103) to provide untethered access to data bases and other computer users. A method is provided for controlling data transmission and reception using the wireless packet data communications modem (101) in tandem with the computer (103). Two-way communications is achieved using a small, low-cost, light-weight wireless packet data communications modem contained in a housing, integral to a computing device, or a removable housing conforming to a PCMCIA industry standard.
Abstract:
A wireless data modem (103), adapted for external unit specific control in accordance with unit specific characteristics, including a non-volatile memory (107) co-resident with a data transceiver for storing data representative of the data transceiver's specific characteristics, an interface (109) providing access to the data by an external controller (101), and further providing access to the data transceiver by the external controller (101) to facilitate control of the data transceiver in accordance with its specific characteristics.
