Telit GE863-PRO3 module

telit GE863-PRO3 module

The GE863-PRO³ is an innovation to the quad-band, RoHS compliant GE863 product family which includes a powerful ARM9™ processor core exclusively dedicated to customer appli­cations. The concept of colocating a powerful processor core with the GSM/GPRS engine allows developers to host their application directly.

The PRO³ incorporates much of the necessary hardware for communi­cating microcontroller solutions, including the critical element of memory, significant simpli­fication of the bill of material, vendor management, and logistics effort are achieved.

Additionally, this packaging of powerful components virtually eliminates the need for regulatory re-certifications typically required when key components such as memory are changed.

The PRO³ is offered in a Ball-Grid-Array (BGA) package enabling very low profile and small product size required for the design of extremely compact applications. Since connectors are eliminated, the solution cost is significantly reduced compared to conventional mounting concepts. With its low profile design, dedicated 8/64 MB SDRAM, 4 MB serial flash, and its extended programming capabilities in C++, the Telit GE863-PRO³ is the ideal hardware platform for complete and compact customer solutions.

The GE863-PRO³ was designed to simplify connectivity through the availability of interfaces such as SPI, IIC, SD/MMC and USB (Host/Device). Telit offers a vast collection of reference designs enabling use of the PRO³ with external peripherals such as camera, keyboard, display, Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth®, SmartCard, SD Card, Ethernet, ZigBee® and GPS. Application development is accomplished easily given Telit’s continued commitment to open systems. With the use of LINUX (optional), developers have access to an extensive library of drivers for different peripherals and to complete development environments.

All Telit modules, support Over-the-Air firmware update by means Premium FOTA Management.By embedding Red Bend Software’s vRapid Mobile® agent, a proven and battle-tested technology powering hundreds of millions of cellular handsets world-wide Telit is able to update its products by transmitting only a delta file, which represents the difference between one firmware version and another.

As a part of Telit’s corporate policy of environmental protection, all products comply with the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive of the European Union (EU Directive 2002/95/EG).
