Cell Phone Interface?

Hello Everyone!

I love the engineering portion of these discussion boards even though I am not an engineer I only play one on television. In my dreams! My question is can anyone recommend any reliable interface using as our first choice a cell phone to communicate with our Sine System on a three different mountain top translator sites we have here in Southern Southeast Alaska? Our landlord has 800 trunk service on at least two of the sites and I'm not sure about the third. Internet is not available at any of the sites at a rate we feel is reasonable from the landlord. We might be able to get Wi-Max at our main transmitter site but certainly not the other two which are in kind of remote locations. Performing a Google search I saw a couple of articles on Sine's website relating to Blue-Tooth, etc. Is there a cell phone or any apparatus made that can be continually powered like the old bag phones? This is a high RF environment as you might imagine. Two commercial FM's, a public station, FAA stuff (airport is right below this location) and maybe some two-way I think and of course cellular equipment. So I'm unsure if blue tooth would work and how that interfaces with our Sine. Any ideas? If you need more info you can email me at [email protected] or post here.

Thanks Everyone!!
 
I think what you may be looking for is a fixed wireless terminal. It adapts cell service into an emulated POTS (land line) port. Look up "Telular" -- there's plenty of tech tips for interfacing a Telular fixed terminal to the Sine Systems RFC-1/B.
 
Bluetooth is not what you want. It is a 2.4 GHz service which works for a distance of a few feet from receiver to transmitter.

Techie2 seems to have the right answer.
