Description:

The COM17075ER combines a wireless quad-band modem unit and a low power parallel tracking GPS receiver on one PC/104-plus module.

This module provides a direct and reliable GSM connection to stationary or GPRS mobile fields around the world. GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity is achieved using the Siemens MC75 engine. This unit works in the 850/900/1800 /1900 MHz bands and supports standard network and service provider personalization.  RTD maintains in-house equipment for testing international cellular frequency standards.  The MC75 unit also supports fast E-GPRS data transmission. This module utilizes the iTrax03/02 GPS receiver unit from Fastrax. This receiver is very low in power consumption and supports both NMEA and binary interface protocols. Support for +3.3V or +5V active antennas is provided. Latest technologies are used for fast GPS fix and reliable tracking in difficult moving environments.

The COM17075ER board includes four PCI 16C550 compatible serial ports, two for GSM and two for GPS.

Any standard quad-band GSM and GPS antenna may be connected directly to the COM17075ER via on-board MCX connectors. Starter kits are available (see options). In IDAN installations the antenna connections are brought to the front side of the IDAN-frame.

A SIM-card socket is located on the bottom of the COM17075ER-1 module. The COM17075ER-2 module provides an external SIM-card reader connected via a standard 10-pin 150mm long flat cable.

The two 8-bit digital I/O ports may be used for general purpose TTL-level control. The input port has a 10K pull-down on all 8 lines.

Advanced GPS and GSM tool software is provided with the COM17075ER. This software package contains:

• GSM configuration
• GSM terminal program
• GSM call identification
• TCP/IP communication setting
• SMS transmit/receive
• SMS ToolKit for remote hardware access
• SIM card phone number editor
• GPS configuration data logging to a file
• GPS monitoring
