1 Introduction
1.1 Target Users
The GM47r5 and GM48r5 radio devices are designed to be
integrated into machine-to-machine or man-to-machine
communications applications. They are intended to be used by
manufacturers, system integrators, applications developers and
developers of wireless communications equipment.
1.2 Prerequisites
It is assumed that the person integrating the radio device into
an application has a basic understanding of the following:
•GSM networking;
•Wireless communication and antennas (aerials);
•AT commands;
•ITU-T standard V.24/V.28;
•Micro controllers and programming;
•Electronic hardware design.
1.3 Manual Structure
The manual is composed of three parts:
Part 1- Overview
This section provides a broad overview of the GM47r5/GM48r5
family and includes a list of abbreviations used in the manual.
Part 2 - Integrating the Radio Device
This section describes each of the signals available on the
GM47r5/GM48r5 radio devices, along with mechanical
information. The section also provides you with design
guidelines and explains what is needed to commercialise an
application from a regulatory point of view.

2 GM47r5/GM48r5 Radio Devices
2.1 About the GM47r5/GM48r5 Family
Two radio devices make up the family; GM47r5 and GM48r5,
for use in the E-GSM900/GSM1800 and GSM850/GSM1900
bands respectively.
Note! This manual refers to the GM47r5 and GM48r5 as radio
devices. If there is a difference in the functionality of the radio
devices the GM47r5 and GM48r5 information will be listed
separately.
The products belong to a new generation of Sony Ericsson
radio devices, and are intended to be used in machine-to-
machine applications and man-to-machine applications. They
are used when there is a need to send and receive data (by
SMS, CSD, HSCSD, or GPRS), and make voice calls over the
GSM network.
The radio devices can either have applications embedded onto
them or they can be used as the engine in an application
created by the customer. The radio device can send and
receive data when a script is executed, the script can be run
internally from the radio device itself or from a micro-controller.
A typical application, involves a micro-controller and a radio
device, in which the micro-controller sends AT commands to the
radio device via an RS232 communications link.
2.2 Radio Devices in a Communication System
Figures 2.1 and 2.2 illustrate the main blocks of a wireless
communication system using the radio device. Figure 2.1
shows the communication system when the script is embedded
on the radio device and figure 2.2 shows the communication
system when a micro-controller is used. They also show the
communication principles of the system and the interface
between the radio device and the application. The definitions in
the figures, as used elsewhere in this manual, are in
accordance with the recommendations of GSM 07.07.
•The MS (mobile station) represents the radio device and
SIM card. The radio device excluding SIM card, is known as
the ME (mobile equipment).

•The DTE (data terminal equipment) is the controlling
application. This can be either an external host or an internal
embedded application.
•The DCE (data circuit terminating equipment) is the serial
communication interface of the MS.

Figure 2.2 Main Blocks in a Wireless System (external micro-
controller)
In accordance with the recommendations of ITU-T (International
Telecommunication Union - Telecommunications
Standardisation Sector) V.24, the TE communicates with the
MS over a serial interface.
The functions of the radio device follow the recommendations
provided by ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards
Institute) and ITU-T.
ETSI specifies a set of AT commands for controlling the GSM
element of the radio device; these commands are
supplemented by Sony Ericsson specific commands.
To find out how to work with AT commands, see the AT
Commands Manual.
2.3 Features
The radio device performs a set of telecom services (TS)
according to GSM standard phase 2+, ETSI and ITU-T. The
functions of the radio device are implemented by issuing AT
commands over a serial interface.

2.3.2 Short Message Service
The radio device supports the following SMS services:
•Sending; MO (mobile-originated) with both PDU (protocol
data unit) and text mode supported.
•Receiving; MT (mobile-terminated) with both PDU and text
mode supported.
•CBM (cell broadcast message); a service in which a
message is sent to all subscribers located in one or more
specific cells in the GSM network (for example, traffic
reports).
•SMS STATUS REPORT according to GSM 03.40.
The maximum length of an SMS message is 160 characters
when using
7-bit encoding. For 8-bit data, the maximum length is 140
characters. The radio device supports up to six concatenated
messages to extend this function. Concatenation is disabled if
CNMI 3,2 is set (See the AT Commands Manual for further
details).
2.3.3 Voice Calls
The radio device offers the capability of MO (mobile originated)
and MT (mobile terminated) voice calls, as well as supporting
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

GM47R5/GM48R5 RADIO DEVICES

emergency calls. Multiparty, call waiting and call divert features
are available. Some of these features are network-operator
specific.
For the inter-connection of audio, the radio device offers both
single ended and balanced analogue input and output lines.
Direct interface to the digital PCM (pulse code modulation) bus
used within the radio device is available, thus by-passing the
internal analogue circuitry.
The radio devices support HR, FR and EFR vocoders. The
GM48R5 also supports the Adaptive Multi Rate (AMR) type of
vocoder.
2.3.4 Data
The radio device supports the following data protocols:
•GPRS (General Packet Radio Service)
The radio devices are Class B terminals. The radio devices
are GPRS 4+1 enabled, which are capable of receiving at a
maximum of four timeslots per frame (down link), and
transmitting in one timeslot per frame (up link).
•CSD (Circuit Switched Data)
The radio devices are capable of establishing a CSD
communication at 9.6 kbps.
•HSCSD (High Speed Circuit Switched Data).
The radio devices support HSCSD communication, with one
timeslot per frame capacity in the up link and two timeslots
per frame capacity in the down link (2+1).
2.3.5 SIM Card

5 System Connector Interface
5.1 Overview
Electrical connections to the radio device (except the antenna),
are made through the System Connector Interface. The system
connector is a 60pin, standard 0.05 in (1.27 mm) pitch device.
The system connector allows both board-to-board and board-to-
cable connections to be made. Use a board-board connector to
connect the radio device directly to a PCB, and a board-cable
connector to connect the radio device via a cable.
Figure 5.1 below shows the numbering of the connector pins.
A ground connection is provided at the mounting hole next to
the RF connector on the radio device as shown below. Connect
this ground point to the DGND pins of the radio device by the
shortest, low-impedance path possible. The purpose of this
connection is to allow any antenna ESD strikes to bypass the
radio device’s internal ground path.
