MINNEAPOLIS -- Multi-Tech Systems Inc., a data communications and telecommunications technology manufacturer based in Minneapolis, and Symstream Americas Inc., a Texas-based wireless technology company, have announced the release of their SocketModem SS embedded cellular wireless modem, according to a news release.   Designed to reduce ATM fleet management cost on Symstream enabled GSM/3G networks, the SocketModem SS (Model MTSMC-G1-SS) cellular wireless modem incorporates Multi-Tech Systems' cellular wireless hardware and Symstream's internationally patented data transfer protocol that is fully supported by Symstream's management and gateway system.   According to the release, the SocketModem SS offers greater flexibility and connectivity for ATM terminals, kiosks and POS terminals as it provides connectivity throughout the carrier's larger GSM (voice) wireless network as distinct from their packet data network. Now shipping in the USA utilizing the AT&T GSM network, the SocketModem SS will be available in Asia and Europe in Q1 of this year.   An added benefit of the SocketModem SS is that it is plug compatible with the Multi-Tech dial-up SocketModem currently used in many of the leading ATMs in the U.S. marketplace, therefore allowing a simple, cost effective upgrade to this new powerful cost saving wireless modem. An external model is also planned supporting Ethernet, RS-232 and USB interfaces.   The SocketModem SS, when connected to the Symstream network, also provides access to the comprehensive Symstream Souran management system which supports remote operation and a high level of performance monitoring allowing network and fleet operators to potentially reduce their overall costs and provide greater uptime for their ATM fleet. Souran is a carrier grade management platform that offers flexible connectivity to ATM terminals, kiosks and point-of-sale terminals. Souran management offers GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA and optional HSUPA capabilities designed to operate on a variety of platforms from a central point.   "Multi-Tech and Symstream's synergies and cooperative relationship ensure that our customers will continue to receive a quality product in a timely manner," said Mark Gamon, Symstream's sales and marketing director. "Multi-Tech's excellent in-house hardware design team, global recognition for their product quality, and also international sales and support network combined with Symstream's world-leading wireless technology, will create an end-to-end solution and strengthen our entry to serve the worldwide financial market."
