Module links GPRS with USB for wireless design
New from Falcom, the Twist-USB-Set is a novel combination of GPRS and USB communication standards.
The A2D-SI-900/1900 version is FCC (USA, part 15) compliant.
The integrated SIM card reader, power supply circuitry and EMC/ESD protection as well as the optimised interfaces allow the creation of very compact, low power and cost effective solutions for vertical markets.
The GPS core is based on the SiRFstarII chipset and offers superior TTFF acquisition rate (less than 45s, cold start) combined with low power consumption (less than 40mA, default trickle power mode).
The GSM/GPRS core is software compatible with the popular Falcom A2D(L) and CM2C modules as well as with Wavecom WM2C-2 and WMO3i devices.
The Falcom A2D-SI enables system partners and OEMs to quickly upgrade existing platforms or create completely new applications with substantially improved price/performance ratio offering low design-in risk and high level of repeatability of the design.
Substantial reduction of the "time-to-market" period for new products and timely return on investment is the result of using the A2D-SI platform in plenty of mobile navigation and security applications.
Design engineers are supported by a complete evaluation hardware and software kit.
Detailed technical information can be found on the Falcom website.
