What is a Desktop Mobile?
A Desktop Mobile is a fixed cellular terminal that lets your own office or home phone access the mobile network to make calls and to send and receive text messages. You can connect it to your computer to browse the Internet, send emails and PC faxes. When connected to your alarm system it will send you a text messages as soon as the alarm is activated. You can also send it a text message to operate attached equipment.
Unlike a handheld mobile phone the Desktop Mobile provides a fixed, permanent and accessible resource that can be shared between any work or family group at any location.
So why do I need a Desktop Mobile?
Even though you own a handheld mobile phone you probably prefer using your landline phone when you are in the office or at home. The problem is that when you make phone calls from a landline to mobiles you are paying more because the call is going across two networks. By connecting the Desktop Mobile to an office or home phone system, you can cut the cost of those calls by as much as 70%.
The Wireless Landline (WL) version [see schematics] automatically routes your outgoing call either by the Mobile or Landline network which ever is the Least Cost Route (LCR).
The Desktop Mobile also provides an immediate backup for your telecommunications if for any reason your landline fails.
If, like 80% of the world’s population you don’t have access to landlines or are in locations where landlines are not feasible, then the Desktop Mobile provides you with a complete communications terminal within any appropriate mobile network.
Why should I choose the Burnside Desktop Mobile?
The Burnside Desktop Mobile is one of the easiest cellular terminals to set up and use. It has the highest audio quality and excellent data/GPRS performance. In addition the Burnside can monitor and control equipment in remote locations.
How do I install and use the Desktop Mobile?
It’s so simple. Insert exactly the same kind of SIM you use in your handheld mobile. Connect the dual band antenna supplied. Connect any kind of touch tone phone. Then finally connect to the mains power supply using the supplied adaptor or connect to a DC supply such as available in a car or boat.
The Desktop Mobile is then ready for use. Just lift the phone’s handset and dial to make a call. Use the keypad on the phone with the Desktop Mobile display to access all of the available features.
How do I connect my computer and how fast will it work?
You connect with the cable provided and install the Desktop Mobile as a modem on your computer. Using the GPRS network, the Desktop Mobile will work up to a maximum speed of 85 Kbps. Tests on Orange GPRS network in the UK produced a speed of 67.8Kps.
See this report. Whilst maintaining a GPRS connection, SMS and phone calls can still be made.
Will the Desktop Mobile give me a better signal than my handheld mobile phone?
You’ll find that the Desktop Mobile will give you a much better signal than a handheld mobile because the antenna works much more efficiently. You will also find that it can be used in weak reception areas where a handheld mobile phone will not work.
