Combined with the Minstrel V part of the award-winning line of Minstrel Wireless Palmtop Modems, your Palm V can do a lot more than organize calendars and addresses. By providing full, native Internet connectivity, email access and a link to mission-critical data, the Minstrel V instantly transforms your connected organizer into a virtual office. As a result, improved productivity is only a tap away.

Minstrel V supports popular enterprise productivity and synchronization programs written for the Palm OS and is bundled with POP3 email and HTML web browsing software. Since Minstrel V utilizes Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) technology - a secure, open standard network - you can be sure of reliable, real-time data transmission at speeds up to 19.2 kbps. The sleek design of the Minstrel V retains the elegance and portability of the Palm V connected organizer. Together, they provide the functionality of a single, highly integrated product - resulting in a smart and powerful tool for the mobile professional.

Features and Benefits

Portability At 5" long and weighing just 4.5 oz, the Minstrel V boasts big functionality in a form factor small enough to fit into a shirt pocket.

Security The CDPD network, with its comprehensive encoding and encryption methods, is virtually impossible for unauthorized users to capture and decipher messages.

Affordability With a designated IP address, the Minstrel V connects seamlessly to the Internet. Now you can quickly and easily access the Internet or your corporate intranet from anywhere CDPD service is available without having to plug in or dial up.

Simplicity Since the Minstrel V transmits small "packets" of data, users are only billed for the amount of data sent, and not the length of time connected to the Internet. This structure, combined with unlimited data plans, offers an economic wireless solution.

Reliability By using CDPD technology, the Minstrel V transmits data over existing cellular phone networks resulting in lower error rates, lower costs and widespread coverage in most metropolitan cities.

Connectivity The Minstrel V offers notification and instant access to email along with the Internet, corporate intranet/databases and everything else you need to remain connected when you aren't staying in one place.

Compatibility The Minstrel V is compatible with Palm V connected organizers. Minstrel modems are also available for the Palm III, Palm IIIe, Palm IIIx and IBM WorkPad PC Companion. All versions are equipped with a TCP/IP stack for custom applications development.

Battery The Minstrel V comes with its own internal rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery and fast charger, providing reliable, sustainable power and quick charging in 3-3.5 hours.
