Multi-Tech Systems Provided New SocketModem Shield for AT&T Hackathon

Developers Can Quickly Prototype Mobile Apps Using Multi-Tech's HSPA+ Arduino Shield
Minneapolis, MN, January 03, 2014 - Multi-Tech Systems, a leading provider of M2M (machine-to-machine) products and services, is challenging hackers to utilize the SocketModem Shield HSPA+ Arduino Shield at the AT&T Hackathon & 2014 Developer Summit on January 4-5 at the Palms Casino & Resort in Las Vegas. Sanctioned by the industry and approved by AT&T, the new SocketModem Shield allows for rapid prototyping and connections to the cellular network.

The SocketModem® Shield uses the SocketModem® iCell, which features Multi-Tech's proprietary cellular network management functions, such as persistent connectivity and auto-connect. As the only Arduino Shield with full PTCRB certification and AT&T approval, the SocketModem Shield allows developers to develop, test, and build without needing to undergo additional certification for cellular communications. Offering HSPA+ cellular performance utilizing the Telit HE910 module, the Shield also leverages the Freescale Freedom FRDM-KL46Z and ARM mbed development platforms.

"Because the Shield leverages our easy-to-use SocketModem iCell product, developers at the Hackathon will be able to connect to AT&T's mobile network quickly," said Scott Wilken, Chief Technology Officer, Multi-Tech Systems. "We're excited to see all of the cool apps the developers create with our Shield."
