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.

Scalable Platform modules

Today you demand GPRS for your development, tomorrow you need EDGE: We give you the flexibility to react to ever-changing demands with Cinterion's scalable platform modules consisting of two families: MC75i, TC65i and TC63i and MC75,TC65 and TC63. The platforms ensure compatibility within and also between the families. This allows you to benefit from the flexibility to switch from one module to the next without investing in application redevelopment. The six modules are designed for industrial applications, each with a different focus when it comes to Java™ technology, EDGE or GPRS functionality. All come with Quad-Band technology, TCP-IP stack and a variety of industrial interfaces. The TC65i and TC65 also feature the Java™ open platform which enables you to develop applications directly on the modules’ processor and memory. The MC75i and MC75 focus on transmission speed and come with EDGE, the fastest transmission standard in GSM networks today. All in all they provide you with flexibility for your development of industrial M2M applications.

The platform for all purposes: MC75, TC65, and TC63 Wireless Modules

Whatever your technology needs for a module may be – GPRS, Java™, or EDGE - the MC75, TC65, and TC63 are here to satisfy them. What’s more, they all build on the same platform, with the same connectors, AT commands, and mounting concept, and they all offer Quad-Band GSM/GPRS, TCP/IP functionality, and industrial interfaces. The modules share the same bloodlines, but their feature sets differ. Variables such as data transmission speed and Java™ make this platform such an excellent choice for security, automated meter reading, remote maintenance, control, and other verticals. This affords you the flexibility to respond quickly and cost-efficiently to changing markets demands by conveniently switching to another of the platform’s modules.

The MC75 Wireless Module

EDGE up your business

The MC75 is the first Quad-Band GSM/GPRS radio module to feature EDGE technology, today the fastest data transfer standard in GSM networks worldwide. EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution) delivers the performance it takes to download and stream data-heavy multimedia files, exchange e-mail attachments, and enable fast Internet or intranet access. And the integrated USB/RIL driver ensures the MC75 communicates smoothly with the operating system.

The MC75’s key features include:

EDGE (E-GPRS) Multislot Class 12

Quad-Band technology (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)

GPRS Class 12

RIL driver for Microsoft © Windows Mobile™-based devices

Fully compatible with USB 2.0 full speed

The TC65 Wireless Module

The M2M application platform

M2M application developers seeking a sophisticated software development platform need look no further than the TC65. Not only does it bring to the table the many benefits of a Java™-based platform, it also incorporates top-flight GSM/GPRS technology, including Quad-Band radio and GPRS Class 12. With a rich set of interfaces comprising GPIOs and I²C and SPI busses, paired with the TCP/IP stack, this module readily integrates into many M2M applications.

The TC65’s key features include:

Java™ Open platform

Quad-Band technology (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)

GPRS Class 12

ARM7 processor

Flash 1,7 MBytes, RAM 400 KBytes

Integrated TCP/IP stack

Secure data transfer and reliable software updates over the air

The TC63 Wireless Module

Top-of-the-scale M2M connectivity

The TC63 offers the same top-drawer GSM/GPRS technology as the TC65, but without the Java™ platform. That's why it is particularly well-suited to classic applications that require additional hardware. Featuring Quad-Band radio technology, GPRS Class 12, and an integrated TCP/IP stack, this module raises the bar for GSM/GPRS connectivity.

The TC63 ’s key features include

Quad-Band technology (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)

GPRS Class 12

Integrated TCP/IP-Stack
