Introduction
1. Description
The MTX-IoT-XS devices are an innovative and powerful all-in-one solution for the most demanding M2M
and Internet of Things applications, enabling GSM data & voice communication, SMS, fax and 2G/3G/4G
high speed cellular data transmission.
The MTX-IOT-XS modems are Java J2ME programmable and have a complete set of interfaces (RS232,
RS485, USB, IO) avoiding need for further hardware components, shortening time to market and reducing
costs.
Please read section Introduction 3 (Features by Model) to view the specic features of each device.
The MTX-IOT-XS family is industrially featured: the unit can be used in industrial environments due to its
extended operating temperature range. It also features an automatic restart after shutdown function in
case of power glitches or faulty conditions.
The MTX-IOT-XS are a self-contained modems with its own SIM card holder, USB 2.0 High Speed and
RS232/485 interfaces (among others), which minimize the need for further hardware development. This
device can be used as a powerful and exible device that can be integrated in a wide range of telemetry
applications that rely on the remote exchange of data, SMS or faxes via the GSM cellular network.
The ve-band functionality allows for operation in all relevant GSM frequencies across the world. Local
European and America economic variants are available. When UMTS/3G network operation is not
present, the MTX-IOT-XS can operate in lower speed modes such EDGE Class 12 (max. 237kbps DL, max.
237kbps UL) or GPRS Class 12 (max. 85.6kbps DL, max. 85.6kbps).
The MTX-IOT-XS devices can also be controlled via AT commands and standard interfaces such us USB
2.0 High Speed or RS232 with Linux and Windows® drivers.
The MTX-IOT-XS family is RoHS & WEEE compliant and it is manufactured following the ISO 9001 & IS0
14001 Quality certications.
A full list of antennas, cables and accessory supplies are available.
The MTX-IOT-XS modems are powered by an internal EHS6/8/BGS5/ELS6/5 modules.

Limits Function
Normal
operation
GSM/GPRS/
UMTS/HSPA
Power saving automatically activated when no calls
are in progress, the USB connection is suspended
by the host or not present, and there is no active
communication via ASC0
GSM/GPRS/LTE Power saving is disabled if a USB connection is not
suspended, but no call is in progress
GSM TALK/GSM
DATA
Connection between 2 subscribers in progress. Power
consumption depends on the GSM network coverage
and several connection settings (e.g. DTX off/on, FR/
EFR/HR, hopping sequences and antenna connection).
The following applies when power is to be measured in
TALK_GSM mode: DTX off, FR and no frequency hopping
GPRS DATA GPRS data transfer in progress. Power consumption
depends on network settings (e.g. power control level),
uplink/downlink data rates and GPRS conguration (e.g.
used multislot settings)
EGPRS DATA EGPRS data transfer in progress. Power consumption
depends on network settings (e.g. power control level),
uplink/downlink data rates and EGPRS conguration
(e.g. used multislot settings)
LTE DATA LTE data transfer in progress. Power consumption
depends on network settings (e.g. TPC Pattern) and data
transfer rate.
Power Down Normal shutdown after sending the power down command. Only a voltage
regulator is active for powering the RTC. Software is not active. Interfaces are not
accessible. Operating voltage remains applied.
Airplane
mode
Airplane mode shuts down the radio part of the module, causes the module to
log off from the network and disables all AT commands whose execution requires
a radio connection. Airplane mode can be controlled by AT command.
