Telit Communications, an Italian M2M device manufacturer, has been awarded PTCRB (PCS Type Certification Review Board) certification for its GE864 module, which is claimed to be the world's smallest quad-band GSM/GPRS module.
With this certification, the last regional regulatory hurdle for use in the North American market is cleared.
PTCRB certification, a regulatory requirement in order to sell GSM cellular communication products in the North American market. This seal of approval from the CTIA industry association ensures products satisfy the requirements of the GSM/GPRS network standard.
Because they are quad-band devices, Telit's modules can be used all over the world where GSM/GPRS coverage is available. Add to this the PTCRB certification, and Telit is well-positioned to be the module vendor of choice for M2M Solution companies looking to enter the American market from other regions. The quad-band capability of the GE864 with its virtually global regulatory compliance mean that applications that have been developed for special vertical segments in the European market can be marketed to these verticals worldwide.
Due to its external dimensions of just 30 x 30 x 2,8 mm and a weight of only seven grams, the GE864 is especially ideal for applications where a sub-compact form-factor is a requirement.
The GE864 is said to be the world's only GSM/GPRS module that uses the BGA (ball grid array) installation concept. BGA allow for direct mounting without the need for plugs, cables, or connectors, not only reducing material costs, but also installation time and assembly costs.
