USRobotics' New Exclusive Technology for Legacy Systems and Easy Transitions: The Modemulator™

The Modemulator will allow an analog M2M system that uses legacy application software on one or both ends, and two analog modems that communicate over the PSTN, to be gradually converted to a cellular M2M system that uses two Modemulators communicating over a cellular data network without requiring updates or reconfiguration of the legacy software. Also, the Modemulator will allow an analog M2M system that is operated manually without legacy application software to be gradually converted to a cellular M2M system that appears to the operator identical to an analog system.

Analog and Cellular can play together!

Take advantage of faster USB transfer speeds!

As you start upgrading to USB 3.0 devices you'll want to have more USB 3.0 Cables around so you will always transfer data at the fastest possible rates. The Standard USB 3.0 Cable (USR8403) and Standard USB 3.0 Micro Cable (USR8404) are ideal as backup cables for the new 3.0 devices. Need a longer cable? Extend any USB 3.0 Cable with the USB 3.0 Extension Cable (USR8405) and save instead of buying longer cables you may not need. And for the special situations like manual switchboxes and certain USB adapters we have the USB 3.0 A-A Male Cable.

USB 3.0 Super Speeds

USB 3.0 is the latest revision of the Universal Serial Bus standard released in 2008. This new standard offers increased transfer rates up to 4.8Gbps, increased maximum bus power, improved power management, and new connectors and cables that facilitate the higher transfer speeds and additional power. Implementation of the technology began in 2009 initially with USB 3.0 adapters (PCIe and ExpressCard) to allow installation of the new 3.0 ports into current computer systems. Hubs followed allowing additional 3.0 expansion. PC computers and laptops are slowly implementing the new standard, a few are available now at the end of 2010, but the new 3.0 ports are expected to be in the majority of all new computers by 2012 when the popular manufacturers make it a standard.
