2. The GE865-QUAD
2.1. Product Overview
The new GE865-QUAD product introduces the smallest GSM/GPRS Ball-Grid-Array (BGA)
module in the market.
The GE865-QUAD extends Telit’s range of BGA products, incorporating a single-chip
solution built on 0.13 μm CMOS technology into a 22 x 22 x 3 mm block.
The low profile and small size of the unique BGA package for the GE865-QUAD enable the
design of extremely compact applications. Since connectors are eliminated, the solution cost
is significantly reduced compared to conventional mounting.
With its ultra-compact design and extended temperature range, the Telit GE865-QUAD
product is the perfect platform for high-volume m2m applications and mobile data devices.
Additional features such as integrated TCP/IP protocol stack and serial multiplexer extend
functionality of the application at no additional cost.
The GE865-QUAD makes it possible to run the customer's application inside the module
using Python Script Interpreter, thus making it the smallest, complete platform for m2m
solutions.
The GE865-QUAD module, support Over-the-Air firmware update by means Premium FOTA
Management. By embedding the RedBend’s vCurrent Mobile® agent, a proven and battle-
tested technology powering hundreds of millions of cellular handsets world-wide, Telit is able
to update its products by transmitting only a delta file, which represents the difference
between one firmware version and another.
