Quad-band GSM/GPRS Class 12 module with only 1.1 mA current consumption and 85.6 kbps uplink speed

MSC now offers the M-10 Quad-band GSM/GPRS module from Quectel. The M-10 is a complete GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 MHz solution and is ideally suited for machine-to-machine (M2M) applications which require a robust construction and low power consumption.

The Class 12 module features include an extremely low current consumption of 1.1 mA @ DRX=5 and a high uplink speed of 85.6 kbps. Furthermore the M-10 64-pin SMD module, with a size of 29 mm x 29 mm x 3.6 mm and equipped with two UART interfaces, is designed for a temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and provides excellent ESD protection, steady flash memory protection mechanism and superior network compatibility. As with all modules from Quectel, the M-10 complies fully with the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) regulations and is CE/GCF/FCC/PTCRB approved. Due to its extended temperature range, the Quad-band frequency spectrum and extensive software support - which in addition to stacks for TCP/IP, UDP, FTP, HTTP, MMS and SMTP also contains applications such as FOTA, DTMF, Base Station Positioning as well as OPEN CPU framework, the M-10 module can be used internationally in almost all fields of data transmission. It is targeting and addresses all requirements of state-of-the-art, cost-effective M2M and Telematics applications.
