The MM56 modem offers designers a space-efficient communications module suitable for any type of data transfer application.

Data Connect ( formerly Telenetics )’ MM56 enables OEM ’s to integrate a variety of modem functions with the benefit of accessing real-time data, low cost management/ support, plus add-on service possibilities.

International EMC and safety standards have been tested and certified, bringing the integration cost down for approval ratings on the finished product.

Structured to fit into a generic industry footprint, this Conexant chipset product brings with it all the capabilities of a full hardware modem. This product can be integrated into any device that requires data transfer via a PSTN connection, incorporating the latest V.92 technology to give your product the benefit of high upstream speeds (up to 48 Kbps).

Greatly reduced approval time and costs
Simply provide for the pin-outs in your design
Logging Data real-time vs onsite time
Low cost management and support
Low cost networking End user accessibility and add-on service possibilities
