GSM module takes Java onboard

The dual-band TDC GSM Java terminal combines the Siemens TC45 module with Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) with the versatility of a plug and play platform.

The dual-band TDC GSM Java terminal combines the Siemens TC45 module with Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) with the versatility of a plug and play platform.

The TDC GSM Java terminal is highly suited to applications where limited hardware development is required, enabling users to maximise the potential of the Java Virtual Machine for local hosting of custom applications.

Thanks to Java technology, external processing is no longer required for enabling GSM/GPRS communications.

By reducing the number of additional components and using its integrated TCP/IP stack, time to market for bespoke applications can be shortened.

With dimensions of only 65 x 74 x 33mm and weighing only 135g, the ultracompact TDC GSM Java terminal lends itself to applications in telemetry and telematics sectors such as fleet management, vending, GSM gateways, security and remote monitoring including gas, water or electricity.

The terminal is designed for development purposes only, however, if the device is to be used in a stand-alone application a CE mark must be obtained.

Jerry Sandys, Managing Director of TDC comments: "The TDC GSM Java terminal is a breakthrough for plug and play integration of Java enabled wireless devices.

It provides an economical communications platform supporting the spectrum of GSM and GPRS functions".
