MultiTech Dragonfly™ Embedded IoT Cellular Modem & SoMs

MultiTech Dragonfly™ Embedded IoT Cellular Modem and System-on-Modules (SoM) are fully certified and MNO-approved modules that combine a programmable computing platform with an onboard cellular radio. The Dragonfly SoMs are compatible with the Arm® Mbed™ programming platform allowing for rapid prototyping, development, and deployment. Dragonfly SoMs feature an integrated Cortex®-M4 processor, enabling developers to host their applications and have access to a full suite of interfaces for connecting sensors or other remote assets. The MultiTech Dragonfly can be used as an embedded cellular SoM for maximum design and application flexibility and as an embedded cellular modem requiring little or no modification to the existing design.

MultiTech Connection Manager

MultiTech Connection Manager is a software solution designed to greatly simplify and ease the installation, configuration, and management of cellular connectivity in MultiTech USB and serial cellular modems that lack the intelligence to manage these functions. 

Connection Manager is integrated into Windows Networking, supporting Windows 8 and 10 versions, and automatically detects installed cellular
USB and serial devices, downloads required drivers, ensures com ports are correctly mapped, and establishes a cellular connection. Its “keep-alive” function overcomes common issues that lead to dropped connections and helps maintain a persistent cellular connection. Traditionally managed by AT Commands, Connection Manager provides an additional, easy and convenient way to maintain always-on connectivity needed to power the Internet of Things.
