Telit Presents GE865: the Smallest GSM/GPRS Module in the World

Telit, available through GLYN High-Tech Distribution, is unveiling the GE865, the latest extension to its GE product range. The innovative Ball Grid Array (BGA) module is based on a single-chip solution with a form factor of just 22 x 22 x 3 mm. This makes it the smallest globally available GSM/GPRS module. The GE865 can be incorporated perfectly into high-volume M2M applications in which the module size and low energy consumption play a key role. Thanks to quad-band technology, this module can be operated on all of the global GSM networks and makes all of the various data services possible over GSM/GPRS networks. An integrated TCP/IP protocol stack provides support for UDP, FTP and SMTP via AT commands.

GE865 also features RUN AT Commands. This feature allows users to run any AT Command via SMS or TCP. The remote control of different events on the application side is drastically simplified by using text messages from any phone for both activation commands and receiving replies. Some of the major applications are related to monitoring of GPIOs, roaming, battery level, voltage, or module state with the possibility to send alerts in the event that conditions change. The GE865-QUAD also enables its use in an extended temperature range from -30 to +80°C.

"The advantages of the GE865 lie both in its compactness and in its improved product performance and features. It consequently provides the ideal solution to the high demands on complex M2M applications," explains Felix Marchal, Global VP Sales at Telit Communications PLC. "With this module, Telit is reinforcing its claim to technical innovation leadership on the M2M market." In terms of software, as with all Telit modules, the GE865 can be fully integrated with previous Telit platforms and can thus be implemented easily into existing designs. The module is ideal for locating people or objects in both professional and consumer applications. It will be fully certified for all international markets and is already available in sample quantities.
