M2M solutions provider Telit Wireless Solutions has once again expanded its GE910 family of wireless modules with the introduction of its third generation 2G-cellular module, the GE910-QUAD V3. This module is the company's newest and best quad-band GDM/GPRS Class-10 product for integrators and OEMs.
As the GE910-QUAD V3 is based on the latest 2G chipset release, it is able to provide long-term availability, while its feature-rich TCP/IP stack and Python Script Language interpreter allow it to run customer applications internally — even Internet connected ones. Since the module requires no additional electronics to create a complete M2M solution, it is ideal for bill-of-material (BOM) cost-sensitive applications in industries such as automotive, telematics and automated meter reading.
Furthermore, the GE910-QUAD V3's 850/900/1800/1900MHz quad-band GSM/GPRS engine is also voice capable, supporting analog and digital (DVI) interfaces. It is also available with an optional factory-mounted SIM chip.
"With the GE910-QUAD V3, Telit brings to market an unmatched product in terms of cost-benefit," said Dominikus Hierl, chief marketing officer at Telit Wireless Solutions. "Low-speed, data-burst applications continue dominating high-volume M2M. And when you add the features richness to long-term availability ensured by the use of industry's latest release of GSM/GPRS chipset, the GE910-QUAD V3 becomes an easy decision for developers updating designs or starting new projects in these growing application areas."
Back in February, Telit released the GE910-GNSS, its first 2G cellular, multi-constellation satellite positioning receiver module. With an ARM11 processing core, GE910-QUAD engine and its GNSS receiver, the GE910-GNSS is capable of delivering high-performance tracking without the need for additional components.
Both the GE910-GNSS and GE910-QUAD V3 are based on the tiny xE910 form factor, enabling pin-to-pin compatibility with various companion products in GSM/GPRS, UMTS/HSPA, HSPA+, CDMA 1xRTT, EV-DO, with LTE coming soon.
Modules based on this form factor are also very small and energy efficient. In fact, the GE910-QUAD V3 boasts a wide supply voltage of 3.2 to 4.5V and ultra-low standby current, making it well-suited to battery-powered applications.
