(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cinterion, the global leader in cellular machine-to-machine (M2M) communication modules and a Gemalto (Euronext NL 0000400653 GTO) company, today launched the PH8, its new flagship HSPA+ M2M module. This M2M grade, fully ruggedized, high bandwidth module for global markets, delivers reliable, high-speed wireless connectivity on both 2G and 3G networks, and offers a bridge to evolving 4G networks such as LTE.
With the power of the new PH8 module, data rich M2M applications like streaming video on outdoor billboards, mobile medical monitoring applications, video surveillance solutions and Industrial PDAs are now easier to integrate and built to last. Its robust, single-sided design leads to superior heat dissipation, allowing PH8 to outperform power-consuming PCIe devices. And, as with all Cinterion modules, full type approval and pre-approval by major global mobile network operators helps ensure a fast and cost effective road to market. Psion Teklogix, a worldwide leader in ruggedized handheld computers, is the first OEM to announce integration of PH8 in its new Psion EP10, an industrial PDA scheduled for commercial production in 2011.
PH8 was designed to meet specific M2M solution requirements for longevity, ruggedness and worldwide functionality. With the latest 45 nanometer chipset from Qualcomm’s long-life program, PH8 provides a future proof, dependable bridge to LTE. The HSPA+ module offers reliable M2M grade functionality with speeds up to 14.4 Mbps for downloads and 5.76 Mbps for uploads and it is compatible with Quad-Band GSM/GPRS, EDGE and five UMTS bands for true global roaming and worldwide support.
PH8 provides reliable 24-7 communications even in extreme environments of temperature, vibration and very remote locations. Its three antenna connectors provide improved data speed under fluctuating network conditions and continuous GPS monitoring without blanking. Full voice support including analog audio processing enables quick and easy audio implementation for OEMs and developers.
“Cinterion has always promised and delivered the product portfolio that works with today’s best technologies as well as what’s coming tomorrow,” said Norbert Muhrer, CEO, Cinterion. “Embedded communication modules are crucial to the success of machine-to-machine applications and Cinterion continues to develop high quality, reliable products like the PH8 that is designed for peak performance.”
Developer kits are immediately available.
