GSM/GPRS wireless modules for M2M solutions

Motorola introduced the G30 GSM/GPRS LGA series of wireless modules, the latest addition to its Machine-to-Machine (M2M) solutions portfolio. The new land grid array (LGA) module platform is compact and reliable, designed with the demands of the M2M market in mind.

The G30's compact form factor, robustness and set of features make it an ideal choice for the automated metering industry, as well as other M2M segments including telematics, security and electronic point of sale (EPOS).

Other features are:

1. Its surface mount technology (SMT) eliminates the need of board-to-board connectors or RF cables, which makes it cost effective for integrators.
2. The G30 supports the 3GPP 7.05, 7.07 and 7.10 protocols and an additional set of commands including an internal TCP/IP stack.
3. It also offers a programmable M2M application processor and FOTA (firmware over the air) capabilities for maximized flexibility.
4. The G30 is designed for Digital Six Sigma quality levels.
5. Motorola's full portfolio of M2M Modules supporting multiple technologies including GSM/GPRS/EDGE, HSPA, CDMA1X, iDEN, Wi-Fi and WiMAX

Package size: 32.2mm x 20.8mm x 3.4mm
