Pyxis-MM enables you to install a Trimble Navigation GPS receiver module and the SocketModem family of embeddable modem modules from MultiTech Systems onto a PC/104 system. Use it to provide location identification and communications features for vehicle-based embedded systems such as vehicle tracking, navigation, or precision farming. Or use it to communicate via land-line telephone connection to remote equipment such as weather stations or oil & gas wells.

You can install a GPS receiver module alone, any one SocketModem module alone, or a GPS receiver plus a modem module. Pyxis-MM includes all the necessary I/O circuitry to interface the selected modules onto the PC/104 bus, including serial ports, power supplies, and land-line telephone interface. A backup power connector is provided to maintain GPS almanac and minimize time to first fix. The board runs on +5V and operates over -40 to +85oC.
