Starter kit bridges cellular generations

Kit combines compact 2G, 3G and 3.5G pin- and software-compatible modules with all the necessary support circuitry.

A novel starter kit from Round Solutions can be used as a basis for wireless telecommunication devices that can be used globally.

The kit contains three very small pin- and software-compatible modules with all the necessary basic components.

The 3.5G module supports UMTS and HSDPA connections and is parallel compatible with Edge.

Tried and tested GPRS technology is used in the 2G module and is, so to speak, the younger brother of the 3.5G module.

The third module offers coverage of both 800 and 1900MHz CDMA bands in 3G technology.

All modules are controlled via a compatible AT instruction set and support TCP and UDP.

Various multiband antennas are already included in the starter kit.

In addition, Round Solutions supplies lithium polymer rechargeable batteries, SIM card holders, microphones, plug connectors, loudspeakers and HF cables with the kit.

This package provides developers with all necessary components for prototyping.

An online portal is available to customers for the realisation of tracking systems, for example.

The Track4free server is based on Google maps.

It enables worldwide GPS location, free of charge.

Prerequisite for the use of the online platform is a functional GPS device that can transmit geodata via HDCSD, GPRS, Edge or UMTS.

After registering at Track4free, the user is shown examples of a map that delivers position data as well as a great deal of additional information.

This is supplemented by comprehensive documentation of the movement of the device.

Users can register up to two applications per account.

A further portal is available for telemetry applications.

The starter kit with the three wireless modules is available now directly from Round Solutions.
