Overview
The Fastrack M1306B is a discrete, rugged cellular Plug & Play Wireless CPU®
offering state-of-the-art GSM/GPRS connectivity for machine to machine applications.
Proven for reliable, stable performance on wireless networks worldwide, Wavecom’s
latest generation of Fastracks -M1306B- continues to deliver rapid time to market and
painless integration.
Smaller than the former generation and updated with new features, the M1306B
offers two general purpose input/output access.
Fully certified, the dual-band 900/1800 MHz Fastrack M1306B offers GPRS Class 10
capability and supports a powerful open software platform (Open AT®). Open AT®is
the world’s most comprehensive cellular development environment, which allows
embedded standard ANSI C applications to be natively executed directly on the
Wireless CPU®.
Fastrack M1306B is controlled by firmware through a set of AT commands.
This document describes the M1306B and gives information on the following topics:
• general presentation,
• functional description,
• basic services available,
• technical characteristics,
• installing and using the M1306B,
• user-level troubleshooting.
• recommended accessories to be used with the product.
Note:
This document covers the Wireless CPU®alone and does not include the
programmable capabilities provided via the use of Open AT®Software Suites.
For detailed software programming guides, refer to the documents shown in the
"Reference documents" section.
RoHS Directive
The M1306B is now compliant with RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC, which sets limits for
the use of certain restricted hazardous substances. This directive states that "from 1st
July 2006, new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not
contain lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls
(PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)".
Modules which are compliant with this directive are
identified by the RoHS logo on their label.
