M2M company’s module growth
13 April 2010
Telit Wireless Solutions has announced the delivery of the two-millionth GE864 module.
Dominikus Hierl, Managing Director of Strategic Accounts and Corporate Business Development at Telit Communications PLC, proudly announced the milestone. “Customers in the telematics and automotive industries place special demands on our products. On the one hand, the products must demonstrate a high degree of innovation, on the other, they need to fulfil requirements such as maximum durability in the field and high quality standards. Telit has developed GE864-AUTO, a version of the module designed specifically for the automotive industry. It’s a segment in which we see enormous potential for growth given that, starting from 2013, practically all vehicles will come equipped with an internet connection and an automatic emergency call function. The Telit module is set to play a key role in the implementation of this new functionality. Our customers in the automotive industry can rest assured that we will continue to set new benchmarks with our solutions and service packages in the future.”
With its GE864 product family, Telit offers a GSM/GPRS quad-band module in a compact format. Thanks to its dimensions (30mm x 30mm x 3mm), and reliable, energy-efficient operation, the model is suitable for use in large-volume applications in the telemetry and telematics industries, in addition to terminals for data transfer, remote maintenance and remote surveillance. The module can operate in an extended temperature range of between -40°C to +85°C and comes equipped with a baseband processor. The module also supports the integration of customer-specific programs, via Python.
In recent years, Telit has embarked on an R&D process that meets the standards of the automotive industry. One of the key products within this is the GE864-AUTO module; produced according to ISO/TS16949 and validated during the Production Part Approval Process (PAPP), to ensure compliance with the quality standards applicable in the automotive industry. In addition, its extended temperature range and improved resistance to mechanical loads and harsh environmental conditions guarantee interference and error-free use. Furthermore, the company recently announced the GE864-AUTO’s ability to integrate eCall features (eCall is an automatic emergency call system for vehicles, initiated by the European Union). With eCall, vehicle manufacturers will soon be in a position to install this functionality in all vehicle systems.
Additionally, Telit has developed the GE864-QUAD Atex according to strict EU ATEX (ATmosphère Explosible) standards especially to meet heightened requirements in respect of protection from explosion. Maximum intrinsic safety makes the module a secure option for use in the most critical atmospheres (Group II, Category 1). It can be integrated into applications that operate in potentially explosive atmospheres, or linked to other applications that do so. Thanks to its size, extended temperature range and ESD and EMC-compliance, the GE864-QUAD Atex is the ideal platform for all Atex M2M markets, whether for OEMs or aftermarket applications.
