Abstract

An embedded modem for an unattended host device that provides improved cellular communications capabilities to the unattended host device. The embedded modem detects the occurrence of a signal effectiveness event reflective of the reliability of a cellular communication session, and upon detecting the occurrence of a signal effectiveness event, issues commands to improve the reliability of the cellular communications. The signal effectiveness event data can be communicated by the embedded modem on channel that is different from a channel provided for the host device to communicate its own data with an associated remote computer system.
