2. Product Description
2.1. Product Overview
Aim of this document is the description of features, functions and interfaces of the
Telit GT863-3GG Terminal Family which is a complete modem solution for wireless
m2m applications allowing tri-band 850/1900/2100MHz UMTS/HSDPA and quad
band GSM/GPRS/EDGE network availability with the addition of an integrated full 12-
channel high sensitivity GPS receiver.
Terminal core engine is Telit module UC864-G also fully backward compatible with
existing EDGE and GSM/GPRS networks through accomplished quad-band radios.
Since this Terminal is ready for use as a subsystem for wireless connections, Safety
Information and basic instructions for taking the GT863-3GG Terminals into
operation are included, as well as guidance to other documentation and practical
hints for the first steps.
The GT863-3GG Terminals can be remotely controlled by AT command and is
compliant with:
-Hayes standard AT command set
-3gpp TS 27.007 specific AT command and WCDMA/GPRS specific commands.
-3gpp TS 27.005 specific AT commands for SMS (Short Message Service) and
-CBS (Cell Broadcast Service)
-FAX Class 1 compatible commands
Moreover, the Telit GT863-3GG supports also Telit proprietary AT commands for
special purposes. For a more information about AT commands supported by GT863-
3GG please refer to document UC864 AT Commands Reference Guide, code
80304ST10041a.
EASY GPRS® Embedded
Telit GT863-3GG embeds TCP/IP stack and DNS query protocol. Static and dynamic
IP allocation, PPP and UDP as well as FTP Client are supported. Developers just
need to add Telit Proprietary AT commands to establish a TCP/IP connection
through the WCDMA/EDGE/GPRS network.
EASY FREQUENCY SCAN® Function
Telit GT863-3GGincludes a dedicated set of AT commands to scan all the GSM
channels, reporting all available parameters. With EASY FREQUENCY SCAN® the
GSM network coverage at the location of the GT863-3GG Terminal can be examined
even without inserted SIM in order to select the provider with the best field strength,
the most channels or base transceiver stations and to optimize the terminal position.
