A Full Range of Wireless Technologies

The world continues to go wireless - and Protel is again leading the way. In many areas of the world, constructing a wire-line network is no longer a feasible solution in building communications infrastructure and these regions have now turned to wireless networks as an alternative. With this in mind, Protel has developed a new line of Wireless Payphones that you can now deploy virtually anywhere using the wireless technology that is most appropriate. Now where payphones were not possible, they become possible and public communications can now be offered. Protel offers several products that will work with most of the known wireless technologies available today such as:

• Cellular - Where a cellular network is available, there is a wireless Protel payphone that is compatible, whether the network technology is GSM or CDMA.
• Satellite - Even in the most remote regions of the world, providing public payphone service using satellite communication technology is an option. Satellite connections are reliable and available anywhere, including on ships at sea, oil platforms, and military outposts.
• Radio - Protel also supports radio networks, a technology increasingly used for rapid deployment in fixed wireless, point-to-multipoint networks.

A Full Range of Applications

Wireless payphones from Protel deliver a new means of connectivity to companies who provide public communications. These phones provide the gateway to the world in both voice and data. All Protel wireless payphones work with solar, AC, or DC energy. When it comes to providing a solution to your customers, whether it be an alternative to the traditional wireline service, rural communities, on remote job sites, or at tourist attractions, Protel has the solution that will meet your needs.

Wireless solutions are perfect for temporary events, such as fairs, exhibitions, and sporting events. When unforeseen disasters disrupt wire-line service, the quick deployment of Protel wireless payphones can provide vital communications.

Wireless payphones are the only way to provide public telephone service to the millions of people who, on a daily basis, rely on buses, ferries, and trains to take them to their destinations.

A Full Range of Payment Options

Protel wireless models can be configured to support any payment option or various combinations of options, including chip cards, magnetic stripe cards, coins or tokens. When configured as payless phones, Protel's wireless models provide access to prepaid calling platforms, or function as courtesy or emergency phones that do not require payment.

Works With All Protel Models

Now, with the new CTRMNT0166, any Protel 1000 Series payphone can be upgraded for wireless service. Its innovative design allows for dual use, wire-line or wireless, by simply adding Protel’s CDMA or GSM option board to it. This simple upgradeability adds a new dimension to payphone operators by providing a seamless migration from wire-line to wireless without major capital investments.

Common Chassis Platform, Modular and Compact

Our rugged, reliable, and secure payphones provide operators with a revenue-generating platform that is cost-effective and efficient. Protel wireless payphones are easy to install and maintain, indoors or out, in rural or urban areas. In addition, our wireless and wire-line phones use virtually the same components, allowing for true interchangeable parts, lowering the costs of implementing a wireless solution.

For payless phones and card-only payphones, the GSM and CDMA cellular components, including battery backup unit are installed within the payphone housing, creating a compact solution for mobile or fixed applications. For coin and combo-payment payphones, the battery backup unit is mounted inside the payphone’s pedestal or within an adjacent enclosure.
