We have a customer who wants to do some mobile data communication. He
has a car phone, see, and a computer and a modem and he wants to
telecommunicate using his modem and carphone much as if he were at his
desk. One problem -- this is in the boonies of western Canada and the
carphone he has is a radio mobile phone, not the dial-type cellular
phones we get spoiled with in metro areas. Seems it works more like a
CB than a phone.
Question: does anybody have any pointers as to how to use a modem in a
situation like this? Are there special products (which don't require
the leasing of a satellite channel and special video compression
equipment or some such hi-tech nonsense) that handle datacomm in this
kind of situation? Any experiences and pointers to vendors or
consultants would be appreciated.
