Abstract
A system for initiating a connection to a wireless network using a wireless modem, where the system maintains the connection to the wireless network when the wireless modem becomes idle. The system determines that there is a problem using the wireless modem by monitoring the status of the wireless modem. In response to a determination that there is a problem using the wireless modem, the system automatically cycles power to the wireless modem and again initiates a connection to the wireless network using the wireless modem. The system may be implemented by an apparatus having a power control device with a power outlet coupled to a wireless modem. The control device controls power to the power outlet according to received power control commands that are based on the status of the wireless modem.
