1. Overview
The RB900 Terminal is the complete modem solution for wireless m2m applications.
Based on the Telit GE910, HE910 or LE910 module, it is available as penta or quad-band
versions and offers high level GSM/GPRS/HSPA+/LTE features in a compact aluminium
housing with all the standardized interfaces and optional GPS receiver, configurable GPIO
or memory card to store all the measured data. Together with its small size and wide
supply voltage range, it is easy to integrate into all kinds of machines.
The RB900 terminal enabling high speed data transmission, SMS and T P/IP
communication is a universal solution for all low-volume M2M and mobile data applications
including metering, traffic systems, transportation and logistics, security, vending
machines, and facility management.
The device can be controlled by standard AT commands or by customer's own
application inside (embedded Python Script Interpreter or “ ” language), thus making it the
smallest, complete SMT platform for m2m solutions.
This document contains full RB900 modem description and gives information about
installation and using it.
