The GE910-QUAD AUTO becomes the company's top recommended quad-band GSM/GPRS Class-10 product for automotive and telematics integrators andOEMs starting or upgrading designs going forward.

The UE910-EU V2 AUTO is a new and hardened variant of the dual-band UE910V2 series designed for use inthe most demanding automotive applications, delivering a downlink speed of up to 3.6 Mbps and uplink of up to 384 Kbps.

Both products are based on market'slatest release chipsets and slated for long-term availability protecting OEM's and integrator's design investments.

The products include a 3GPP TS26.267 compliant in band modem according to the eCall EU directive, leveraging Telit's expertise in audio processing and tuning,

accessible via a wide set of dedicated AT commands. The modules are developed and manufactured under ISO TS16949 quality specifications meeting or exceedingsupply chain requirements from OEM automotive.

The GE910-QUAD AUTO and UE910-EU V2 AUTO are ideal platforms for all embedded mobile dataapplications in the line-fitted automotive, telematics, fleet and logistics management segments.

Targeted at applications requiring or benefitting from global coverage, the 850/900/1800/1900MHz quad-band GSM/GPRS engine in the GE910-QUAD AUTO is voice-capable supporting both analog and digital interfaces.

Powered by an ARM11 processor core, designs integrating the GE910-QUAD AUTO can eliminatethe need for an application processor, running the automotive or telematics application directly over the embedded Python Script Interpreter.

The module delivers GPRS class 10, 3GPP Release 4 compliant data communications and is equipped with a full-speed USB 2.0 interface and ten 1.8V I/O ports.

The product is also offered with an optional factory mounted SIM chip from m2mAIR which provides additional remote diagnostics and control functionalities for the deployed application while eliminating the need for an external SIM card holder, generating additional BOM cost savings and improving overall ruggedness.

The UE910-EU V2 AUTO is designed specifically for European automotive and telematics applications leveraging dual-band UMTS/HSDPA 900/2100MHz and900/1800MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE. It is voice-capable; also supporting both analog and digital interfaces.

The module is equipped with a high-speed USB 2.0interface, UART port, ten 1.8V I/O ports and an ADC converter. Upcoming support for Java J2ME makes the UE910-EU V2 AUTO ideal for projects requiringan embedded application framework.
