1 Overview
The Telit GE864 and GC864 modules are small, lightweight, low power consumption and RoHS
compliant devices that allow digital communication services wherever a GSM 850, 900, DCS 1800
or PCS 1900 network is present.
The GE864 is a low cost connector-less best solution for medium to high quantity projects.
The GC864 is provided with a 80 pin Molex board to board connector and a 50 Ohm Murata RF
connector.
The GE864-PY and GC864-PY models integrate the “EASY SCRIPT” on top of all other features of
the GE864-QUAD and GC864-QUAD. The PYTHON, is an engine script interpreter, allowing self
controlled operations. With the EASY SCRIPT feature the GE864-PY and GC864-PY become a finite
product, they just needs your script to be run.
All GE864 and GC864 models includes all state-of-the-art features like GPRS Class 10, Voice, Circuit
Switched Data transfer, Fax, Phonebook and SMS support, ‘EASY GPRS’ embedded TCP/IP
stack and ‘EASY CAMERA’ external camera support and battery charging capabilities.
The GE864 and GC864 are specifically designed and developed by Telit for OEM usage and
dedicated to portable data, voice and telematics applications such as:
•Telemetry and Telecontrol (SCADA applications)
•Security systems
•Automated Meter Reading (AMR)
•Vending machines
•POS terminals
•PDAs and Mobile Computing
•Phones and Payphones
•Automotive and Fleet Management applications
•Battery powered applications needing a battery charger
•Return channel for digital broadcasting
•Applications, where the external application processor can be replaced by the
PYTHON engine provided by the GE864-PY or GC864-PY
All four models support the following functionalities
9EASY GPRS (AT driven embedded TCP/IP protocol stack)
9EASY CAMERA (AT driven direct connection CAMERA function)
9EASY SCAN (full GSM frequency scanning)
9JAMMING DETECT & REPORT (detect the presence of disturbing devices)
From the interface point of view, the GE864 and GC864 provides the following:
