2. Overview
The new HE910 product family introduces the first and smallest
hepta-band HSPA+ Land-Grid-Array (LGA) module in the market
incorporating a 2G/3G solution built on 40nm CMOS technology.
The LGA package provides ultra low profile in the integrated
solution while at the same time enhancing the performance of
mechanical resistance to shock and reducing cost in high-volume
applications, saving space and weight in portable devices.
The HE910 includes features like HSDPA 21.0 Mbps (Cat 14), HSUPA
5.7 Mbps (Cat 6), digital voice interface, circuit switched data
transfer, phonebook and SMS support, embedded TCP/IP protocol
stack and custom Telit AT commands.
Due to its low profile, low consumption and advanced
connectivity features, HE910 is particularly suitable for
applications such as mobile computing devices, PDAs,
smartphones, table PCs and consumer electronics in general, both
for business and personal life.
HE910 family can also be provided with an optional integrated
high sensitivity A-GPS functionality for indoor fixes and
simultaneous GPS with voice and data.
As a part of Telit’s corporate policy of environmental
protection, all Telit products comply with the RoHS (Restriction
of Hazardous Substances) directive of the European Union (EU
Directive 2002/95/EG)
NOTE:
Some of the performances of the Telit modules depend on S/W
version installed on the module itself. The Telit modules S/W
group is continuously working in order to add new features and
improve the overall performances. The Telit modules are easily
upgraded by the developer using the Telit Flash Programmer.
NOTE:
In order to meet the competitive OEM and vertical market
stringent requirements, Telit supports its customers with a
dedicated Support Policy with:
Telit Evaluation Kit EVK2 to help you to develop your
application;
A website with all updated information available;
An high level specialist technical support to assist you in
your development;

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 HE910
family 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 performances
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 family 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 respective Hardware
User Guide and EVK2 User Manual.
