59 VOLUME TWO | Product Briefs GE865-QUAD GSM/GPRS Cellular Radio Module The GE865 GSM/GPRS Cellular Module extends Telit's range of BGA products, incorporating a single-chip solution built on 0.13 m CMOS technology into a 22 mm x 22 mm x 3 mm block. The GE865 offers voice, SMS, and data features with QUAD band support for global deployments. The low profile and small size of the 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 a flexible platform for highvolume m2m applications and mobile data devices. Additional features such as integrated TCP/IP protocol stack and serial multiplexer extend functionality of the application. The GE865-QUAD module, supports Over-the-Air firmware update by means Premium FOTA Management. By embedding the RedBend's vCurrent Mobile(R) agent, a proven and battletested 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.

The motherboard represents the recommended reference design for the module's peripheral circuitry. Jumper blocks on the motherboard define the routing of the serial interfaces, audio signals, and power supply. The PC or DTE controlling the module over the AT-command interface can be connected via USB or RS-232. Adapter boards are available in different models to allow development for the desired module family (board-to-board or BGA solder). The set of basic interfaces found on by the motherboard. The set of interfaces specific to the module (e.g. antenna, General Purpose Inputs/Outputs (GPIO), A/D converter/D/A converter, UART etc.) is found on the adapter board for connection to the user's application, extension boards, or other development tools and measuring equipment.
