2. The GE910 Family

2.1. Product Overview

The GE910 is the GSM/GPRS product line of Telit's xE910 Unified Form Factor Family:

m2m cellular modules with common LGA form factor, supporting all the different radio

access technologies. With pin-to-pin compatibility across the xE910 Family, a one-time

integration enables a seamless path to higher data rates and different wireless technologies

with UMTS, HSPA+, CDMA 1xRTT, EV-DO and coming soon LTE.

The GE910-QUAD is Telit's first GSM/GPRS module to provide USB 2.0 full speed

interface. It boasts a powerful ARM11 providing plenty of processing power and on board

memory to run customers' applications, thereby reducing BOM final cost. The LGA package

not only allows space and weight saving in portable devices thanks to its low profile, but it

also enhances the mechanical resistance to shock and reduces the integration cost in medium-

to-high-volume industrial processes.

The GE910-QUAD features quad-band GPRS wireless data connectivity, as well as analog

and digital voice. Standard plus extended AT command set and built-in TCP/IP and UDP

protocol stacks provide augmented functionality, adding value to the end application. The

new GE910 product family introduces the smallest GSM/GPRS Land-Grid-Array (LGA)

module in Telit’s portfolio.

Furthermore, the GE910 makes it possible to run the customer’s applications inside the

module using Python Script Interpreter, thus making it one of the smallest, complete

platforms for m2m solutions.

The GE910-QUAD also features the Telit AppZone platform: an embedded software

environment enabling easy M2M application development with industry standard C code. The

Telit AppZone eliminates the need for an external microprocessor, further reducing the

application size and de sign/integration cost. With the GE910 and the Telit AppZone t he Time

to Market is faster than ever.

The GE910-GNSS variant is a competitively priced GSM/GPRS & GNSS combo solution

supporting both GPS and GLONASS, significantly improving the overall receiver

performance, aimed at opening up new m2m location aware telematics segments from

automotive and fleet management applications, PDA's and mobile computing to livestock

tracking and more.

Finally, the GE910-QUAD V3 adds to the xE910 family a cost-effective quad-band

GSM/GPRS solution, based on the industry’s latest 2G chipset which allows integrators and

OEMs to plan on availability for even the longest l ifecycle applicati ons. Thanks to low power

consumption and reliable 2G connectivity combined with other features giving it unmatched

cost-benefit, the GE910-QUAD V3 is highly recommended for new designs requiring a long-

term availability 2G solution and benefiting from the easy pin-to-pin compatible upgrade path

to UMTS/HSPA and CDMA/EV-DO options. It is also recommended for those existing

designs already using some other member of the xE910 family requiring a cost-effective 2G

pin-to-pin compliant alternative.

4. Evaluation Kit

In order to assist the customer in the development of the application, Telit offers the EVK2

Evaluation Kit that can be ordered separately. The EVK2 has a SIM card holder, the RS 232

serial port level translator, a direct UART connection, audio and antenna connector.

The EVK2 provides a fully functional solution for a complete data or phone application. The

standard serial RS232 9 pin connector placed on the Evaluation Kit allows the connection of

the EVK2 system with a PC or other DTE.

The development of the applications utilizing the Telit GE910 module must present a proper

design of all the interfaces towards and from the module (e.g. power supply, audio paths,

level translators), otherwise a decrease in the performance will be introduced or, in the worst

case, a wrong design can even lead to an operating failure of the module.

In order to assist the hardware designer in his project phase, the EVK2 board presents a series

of different solutions, which will cover the most common design requirements on the market,

and which can be easily integrated in the OEM design as building blocks or can be taken as

starting points to develop a specific one.

For a detailed description of the Telit Evaluation Kit, please refer to the documentation

provided with the Telit GE910 Hardware User Guide and EVK2 User Manual.

5. Software Featu res

5.1. Easy GPRS Extension

5.1.1. Overview

The Easy GPRS feature allows the Telit GE910 user to contact a device in internet and

establish with it a raw data flow over the GPRS and Internet networks.

This feature can be seen as a way to obtain a “virtual” serial connection betw een t he

Application Software on the Internet machine involved and the controller of the Telit GE910

module, regardless of all the software stacks underlying.

This pa r tic ular implementation allows to the devices interfacing to the Telit GE910 module

the use of the GPRS and Internet packet service without the need to have an internal TCP/IP

stack since this function is embedded in the module.

For more detailed information regarding the use of the Easy GPRS feature, please consult

Easy GPRS User Guide and AT Commands Reference Guide.

5.2. Multisocket

The multisocket is an extension of Telit Easy GPRS feature, which allows the user to have

two contexts activated (that means two different IP address), more than one socket connection

(with a maximum of 6) and simultaneous FTP client service.

For more detailed information please consult the Easy GPRS User Guide.

5.3. Jamm ing Detection

5.3.1. Overview

The Jammer Detect feature allo ws the GE910 to detect the presence of a disturbing device

such as a Communication Jammer and give indication to the user.

This feature can be very important in alarm, security and safety applications that rely on the

module for the communications. In these applications, the presence of a Jammer device can

compromise the whole system reliability and functionality and therefore shall be recognized

and reported to the local system for countermeasure actions.

5.4. CMUX

CMUX (Converter-Multiplexer) is a multiplexing protocol implemented in the GE910 that

can be used to send any data, SMS, or TCP data.

5.4.1. Architecture

The Multiplexer mode enables one serial interface to transmit data to four different customer

applications. This is achieved by providing four virtual channels using a Multiplexer (MUX).

This is especially advantageous when a data/GPRS call is ongoing. Using the Multiplexer

features, e.g. controlling the module or using the SMS service, can be done via the additional

channels without disturbing the data flow; access to the second UART is not necessary.

Furthermore, several accesses to the module can be created with the Multiplexer. This is of

great advantage when several independent electronic devices or interfaces are used.

To access the three virtua l inter fa ces, both the GSM engine and the customer application must

contain MUX components, which comm unicate over the multiplexer protocol.

In Multiplexer mode, AT commands and data are encapsulated into packets. Each packet has

channel identification and m ay vary in length.

5.4.2. Features

• 3GPP 27.010 CMUX Basic Option used

• CMUX implementation support four full DLCI (Serial Port)

• Every CMUX instance has its own user profile storage in NVM

• Independent setting of unsolicited message.

• Every CMUX instance has its own independent flow control

NOTE: More details about the Multiplexer mode are available in the CMUX User Guide.

5.5. Easy Script Extension – Python interpreter

5.5.1. Overview

The Easy Script Extension is a feature that allows driving the modem “internally”, writing the

controlling application directly in a nice high level language: Python.

The Easy Script Extension is aimed at low complexity applications where the application was

usually done by a small microcontroller that manages some I/O pins and the GE910 through

the AT command interface.

A schematic of such a con fig uration can be:

In order to not use any external controller, and further simplify the programming of the

sequence of operations, the customer can benefit of these features already embedded in the

GE910:

• Python script interpreter engine

o GE910-QUAD/GNSS: v. 2.7.2 multi thread

o GE910-QUAD V3: v. 1.5.2+ sing le th read

• Non Volatile Memory room for the user scripts and data

is crowned in the CMUX m essag e. The clien t application shall extract the message and send it

to the SAP server, through the appropriate protocols (e.g. by RFCOMM, that is the Bluetooth

serial port emulation entity).

The client application shall extract all the messages sent by SAP server and put them in the

CMUX message, to be sent to the module.

The module fulfills the following feature requirements:

• Connection management
