Wireless Chip to Connect Mobile Devices to the Internet

Connect One Ltd.nternet Controller is a peripheral chip that works in tandem with a device's host processor to mediate the connection between the host CPU and the Internet. The chip provides embedded Internet connectivity for devices via wireless Global Systems for Mobile (GSM) communications modems. The embedded chip enables Internet access via any Internet Service Provider.

The firmware-based chip includes up to 512 KB of on-board flash memory for storing and updating the TCP/IP and other Internet protocols, thus ensuring a device's long-term viability amidst future changes in protocols and implementations around the world. The company's high-level AT+I command set, an Internet extension to the Hayes AT protocol, enables manufacturers without any Internet programming capability to Internet-enable their devices within hours.

The chip includes HTTP client software, which enables downloading web pages to the device; support for opening and closing up to five UDP or TCP sockets for streaming audio or video, accessing secure servers or for running proprietary protocols and support of binary MIME attachments for large email files. The chip also features auto baud rate detection for easier modem configuration; stay online feature for sending and receiving multiple messages within one Internet session; and hardware flow control which frees the host CPU from managing modem communications.
