1. Introduction
1.1 Description
The miniPCIe-CEFIRO Family is a new line of advanced miniPCIe cards for the Internet of Things and
M2M communications, providing an all-in-one solution enabling GSM voice, SMS, fax and 3G
(UMTS/HSPA) high speed data transmission.
The miniPCIe-CEFIRO cards are Java J2ME programmable and have a complete set of wireless
interfaces, shortening time to market and reducing costs:
 Cellular communications: 3G and 4G options
 WLAN b/g/n: including Access Point and Monitor Mode
 Bluetooth 4.0: standard Bluetooth v2.1 + Low Energy
 GPS receiver: allow track & location applications
Please read Section 1.3 to view the specific features of each device.
The Five-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 miniPCIe-CEFIRO 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 miniPCIe-CEFIRO can also be controlled via AT commands and standard interfaces such us USB 2.0
High Speed with Linux and Windows® drivers.
The miniPCIe-CEFIRO family is RoHS & WEEE compliant and it is manufactured following the ISO 9001
& IS0 14001 Quality certifications.
A full list of antennas and accessory supplies are available.
The miniPCIe-CEFIRO modems are powered by an internal Cinterion® EHS6/8 module
Industrial features: the miniPCIe-CEFIRO cards can be used in industrial applications due to its
extended operating temperature range.
