1. Introduction
The I-8213W-4G series are industrial grade 4G LTE modules with GPS. While
I-8213W-4GE supports FDD LTE B1/B3/B5/B7/B8/B20 bands, I-8213W-4GC supports
FDD LTE B1/B3/B8 and TDD LTE B38/B39/B40/B41 bands.
For WCDMA, the I-8213W-4G supports 850/900/2100 MHz as well as GSM 850
MHz, EGSM 900 MHz, DCS 1800 MHz, PCS 1900 MHz, and these modules can be
used to collect remote data over a convenient 2G/3G/4G network, including a
variety of traffic meters, or for timely remote control.
These modules also have built-in TCP/IP stacks that can be used to connect to
the Internet or send and receive SMS messages with simple control commands.
With the features of I-8213W-4G, the systems can be SMS, GPRS and 4G
connection applications with our PAC series like WinPAC-8000, LinPAC-8000 or
XP-8000.
