BGS5 Wireless Module
With Advanced Processing Power
Perfect M2M at
Minimal Footprint
LGA technology
Land grid array, or LGA, is a surface-mount technology for fully automated
manufacturing allowing to benefit from efficiency and process consistency.
Cinterion’s unique type of LGA technology is designed with focus on highest
reliability and flexibility and to meet the demanding requirements of M2M
application manufacturers.
Multi Design Capability
The unique BGS5 footprint, based on LGA technology, offers seamless
migration from 2G to 3G within a single design footprint. Compatibility with
the world’s smallest HSPA wireless module ensures future-proof design
and longevity of M2M applications.

Gemalto M2M is proud to introduce the Cinterion BGS5:
the next step in advanced 2G machine-to-machine (M2M)
processing and communications. BGS5 provides advanced
processing and an embedded Java virtual machine to
offload the application, or even remove the microprocessor,
significantly reducing the device complexity and Bill of
Material (BOM) cost. With a small footprint compatible
with the Cinterion Industrial platform, it offers the perfect
complement to 3G solutions when the application processing
power is required, but the high throughput is not.
At only 27.6 mm x 18.8 mm x 2.7 mm, BGS5 is the smallest
module to offer advanced application processing power. It
is a full Quad-Band GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) module
with GPRS class 12 support. Designed to deal with harsh
environments, BGS5 supports M2M-grade extended
temperature ranges.
The application processor makes BGS5 the perfect fit for
applications like track and trace or Automatic Meter Reading
(AMR), remote maintenance and control, and aftermarket
telematics. In such applications, the module itself can be
programmed to collect specific information, process it
via embedded business logic, and send the results at a
scheduled time. Device makers can program and add
applets to fit their needs, or use existing JSRs which are
publically available. As the Java platform is open, this code
can then be ported to other Java enabled devices later
without requiring additional modifications.
As part of our Edge-to-Enterprise concept, the embedded
Java allows seamless integration between your application
and the backend server – optimizing information collection
and processing while ensuring you a future-proof infra-
structure. In addition any infrastructure developed on this
platform can easily be migrated to any other Java enabled
Cinterion module. BGS5 is a key product for the Industrial
platform which embeds intelligence directly in the module,
saving you cost and design complexity!
