The
MicroNoc (Network Operation Computer) is a transmitter and receiver control
system for Motorola REFLEX two-way paging demonstration, testing and
development. The MicroNoc has a modular design allowing it to interface to
multiple protocols, either over the Internet or industry standard paging
networks. Given an Internet connection the system could provide a wireless
two-way e-mail paging system with web access and news in about an hour, instead
of up to several days for a normal full installation. The transmitter section
could be configured from 50 milliwatts to 1000 watts, allowing for coverage of
a room or a city.
