This innovative dual core architecture allows one consistent product for all global GSM networks that
is also capable of managing complex and demanding customer applications, giving impressive
advantages in terms of
; final application time-to-market
; final application cost reduction by saving R&D, approvals & certifications, logistic & production
costs
; production yield by BoM part count reduction
; optimization of final application total cost of ownership (increased reliability of integrated
architecture compared to the discrete one)
; final application overall dimension (exploiting the compact Telit design)
The proven unique Telit Ball-Grid-Array (BGA) package concept enables a very low profile and a small
product size to design extremely compact applications using location technology. Since all connectors
are eliminated, the solution cost is significantly reduced compared to conventional mounting concepts.
Furthermore thanks to the successful cooperation with ATMEL, the dimensions of the ARM package
have been considerably decreased so that our clients can reduce the dimensions of the entire system
that integrates GPRS, the additional processor and the memories, giving a competitive advantage in
comparison to a non integrated architecture and maintaining at the same time the flexibility of a
standard ATMEL ARM9 product (AT91SAM9260)
With its low profile design and extended programming capabilities in C++ and/or Python, fast ROM
and RAM plus power management, 4MB serial flash and 8MB SDRAM (standard) expandable up to
64MB for custom designs, the Telit GE863-PRO
3
is the perfect and complete hardware platform for all
compact complex and individual customer solutions.
Interfaces such as SPI, IIC, SD/MMC and USB give connectivity to external peripherals (camera,
keyboard, display), complementary short range wireless technologies (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee) and
position location technology (GPS) for which Telit can offer you complete reference designs.
The ARM core also includes real-time OS (LINUX), multitasking and fully available 220MIPS,
fundamental for complex and demanding real-time applications. However Telit can also provide
products without operating system giving with these an unlimited possibility for clients who want to use
their own system environment on our modules.
As a part of Telit’s corporate policy of environmental protection, all products comply to the RoHS
(Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive of the European Union (EU Directive 2002/95/EG).
Apart than the above mentioned features, the Telit dual-core GE863-PRO
3
maintains the following
functionalities:
• EASY GPRS (AT driven embedded TCP/IP protocol stack, including FTP client)
• EASY SCAN (full GSM frequency scanning)
• JAMMING DETECT & REPORT (detect the presence of disturbing devices)
