Overview
The FASTRACK Supreme 10 and FASTRACK Supreme 20 are discrete, rugged cellular Plug & Play
Wireless CPU®offering state-of-the-art GSM/GPRS (and EGPRS for FASTRACK Supreme 20) connectivity
for machine to machine applications.
Proven for reliable, stable performance on wireless networks worldwide, Wavecom’s latest generation of
FASTRACK Supreme continues to deliver rapid time to market and painless integration.
Having comparable size with the previous M1306B generation, and updated with new features, the
FASTRACK Supreme offers an Internal Expansion Socket (IES) interface accessible for customer use.
Expanding application features is easy without voiding the warrantee of the FASTRACK Supreme by simply
plugging in of an Internal Expansion Socket Module (IESM) board.
Fully certified, the quad band 850/900/1800/1900 MHz FASTRACK Supreme 10 offers GPRS Class 10
capability and FASTRACK Supreme 20 offers GPRS/EGPRS Class 10 capability. Both support a powerful
open software platform (Open AT®). Open AT®is the world’s most comprehensive cellular development
environment, which allows embedded standard ANSI C applications to be natively executed directly on the
Wireless CPU®.
FASTRACK Supreme is controlled by firmware through a set of AT commands.
This document describes the FASTRACK Supreme and gives information on the following topics:
•general presentation,
•functional description,
•basic services available,
•technical characteristics,
•installing and using the FASTRACK Supreme,
•user-level troubleshooting.
•recommended accessories to be used with the product.
Note:
This document covers the FASTRACK Supreme Plug & Play alone and does not include
The programmable capabilities provided via the use of Open AT®Software Suites.
The development guide for IESM for expanding the application feature through the IES interface.
For detailed, please refer to the documents shown in the "Reference documents" section.
