CINTERION, the global leader in cellular machine-to-machine (M2M) communication modules, recently launched the PH8, its new flagship HSPA+ M2M module. This M2M grade, fully ruggedized, high bandwidth module, delivers reliable, high-speed wireless connectivity on both 2G and 3G networks, and offers a bridge to evolving 4G networks such as LTE.

 

The new PH8 module is suited to data rich M2M applications like streaming video on outdoor billboards, mobile medical monitoring applications, video surveillance solutions and Industrial PDAs. Its robust, single-sided design provides superior heat dissipation, allowing the PH8 to outperform power-consuming PCIe devices. 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.

 

With the latest 45 nanometer chipset from Qualcomm’s long-life program, the 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.

 

The PH8 provides reliable 24-7 communications even in extreme environments and remote locations. Its three antenna connectors provide improved data speed under fluctuating network conditions and continuous GPS monitoring without blanking. Full voice support including analogue audio processing enables quick and easy audio implementation for OEMs and developers.

 

Samples of the PH8 are available upon request, and production modules are expected to be available in October-November 2011.
