General Purpose Modules

From GSM to HSDPA technology and from Java™ to RIL driver functionality - this defines the range of features which are integrated into the products of the category modules. There is, for example, the HC25 which is based on the high-speed data transmission standard HSDPA and offers up to 3.6 Mbit/s, or the MC75 which transmits data via the EDGE standard – the fastest standard in the GSM network – or the TC35i which offers just GSM connectivity. And there are a lot of modules between these, each dedicated for a specific use, in order to offer you the module you require for your application.

3G modules

UMTS/HSDPA has become a world standard with over 200 networks launched in 87 countries (according to the GSA). These impressive figures indicate how important HSDPA technology is. With Cinterion's 3G portfolio we provide you with sophisticated modules designed for the M2M industry. The HC28 (especially designed for Japan), HC25 and HC15 enable you to profit from high-speed data transmission at 3.6 Mbit/s. The modules come with a robust mounting and interface arrangement ensuring that they meet the requirements of the M2M industry, e.g. a serial interface. The HC28, which is optimized for Japan, comes with the necessary certifications (Jate and Telec) for this market and enables you to develop applications (e.g. industrial PDAs) which can be deployed anywhere in the world.

Wireless Module HC25

HSDPA ready to Integrate

In a nutshell: Cinterion Wireless Modules offers you a breakthrough with regard to mobile devices and solutions such as PDA, industrial handhelds, entertainment devices, routers, gateways and much, much more. You ask how? The answer is the HC25! The 3.6 Mbit/s HSDPA module offers Tri-Band UMTS, Quad-Band GSM, a RIL/NDIS/USB driver, full voice and data support and a robust mounting and interface concept. This ensures a short time-to-market and cost-efficient development. The HC25 supports both Quad-Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and Tri-Band UMTS/HSDPA functionality, enabling the module to cover all the frequencies used worldwide. As a result, applications based on the HC25 can be deployed anywhere in the world. In addition, the module is already approved according to all worldwide standards and certifications: R&TTE, GCF, CE, FCC, PTCRB, UL, IC as well as local approvals and network operator certifications. This enables manufacturers to create new HSDPA devices which fulfill both local and global GSM and UMTS requirements. The provided driver ensures optimal linkage between the communication module and a Microsoft® Windows XP or Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ system. This software driver is dedicated to the Microsoft© operating system which allows plug-and-play functionality with Microsoft© Windows© XP (NDIS) and easy integration with devices based on Microsoft© Windows© Mobile (RIL/NDIS). Together with the USB 2.0 full-speed interface, the software driver makes the HC25 the perfect choice, especially for PDAs, entertainment devices, industrial handhelds and USB modems.

To be able to develop enhanced communication solutions, the HC25 comes with full voice and data support. This allows the HC25 to use different voice modes - handset, headset and handsfree mode - and to use voice and data at the same time. Our support services additionally ensure optimization of the voice functionality of an application in particular, thus guaranteeing that you are using the latest wireless technologies, in a flexible way and of the highest possible quality.

Like all Siemens wireless modules, the HC25 is lead-free, thus complying with the EU Directive on the Restriction of Specific Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS).

The major features of the HC25 at a glance:

• HSDPA 3.6 Mbit/s
