Telit’s 3G Module Series to speed up move to higher speeds

Telit Wireless Solutions has announced introduction of 3G-cellular module to employ the VQFN mounting technology at this year’s M2M Summit. The product which also incorporates a Python Script Language interpreter is capable of running customer applications internally without the need for additional electronics. The UL865 module series delivers HSPA data rates of 7.2 Mbps down and 5.76 Mbps up and will be available in variants targeted at the European and North American markets.
 
The UL865 SERIES is ideal for the battery-powered wearable technology segment because of low-power consumption, 24.4x24.4x2.6mm size, and GPIOs operating on battery-friendly 1.8 Volt logic.

Felix Marchal, Chief Product Officer, Telit Wireless Solutions, stated, The UL865 features a VQFN packaging that is fully pad-level compatible with its 2G companion, the GL865-DUAL V3. This compatibility provides developers a simple drop-in migration and technology upgrade path to 3G high-speed performance for designs currently using the GL865 series. This is of critical importance in markets where recent application designs based on 2G have to be upgraded sooner than planned because of GSM/GPRS availability uncertainties.
 
With the new 3G product in compatible form-factor and interfaces to the 2G GL865-DUAL V3, Telit is also facilitating an upgrade path for applications based on the 2G version of the module that either must become 3G or can benefit from the UL865’s faster data rates.
