BGS8 Wireless Module
Perfect M2M with integrated GNSS
Part of the Cinterion® Industrial family, the BGS8 wireless
module offers full voice capabilities, high speed GPRS data
transmission and minimal power consumption. It is an
exceptional choice for machine-to-machine (M2M) applica-
tions that require focused 2G connectivity with embedded
high performance and global satellite (GNSS) service. The
unique cost savings and performance inherent in BGS8 make
it an ideal solution for Intelligent Transportation System (ITS)
applications including onboard vehicle telematics and fleet
management as well as point of sale (POS) and alarm
devices.
BGS8 targets high volume, cost sensitive applications that
utilize low bandwidth GSM/GPRS connectivity. Its rugged and
ultra-compact Land Grid Array (LGA) footprint guarantees
long product availability along with optimized Total Cost of
Ownership. Offering compatibility with Gemalto M2M’s most
compact and cost optimized 3G solutions, the BGS8 shares
the same footprint and enables unparalleled migration
opportunities.
Based on the powerful Intel® 2G chipset, the module’s
unique Cinterion LGA technology enables optimized heat
dissipation that prevents warping. This gives demanding
industrial customers the freedom to select the most benefi-
cial soldering paste for each individual application.
Equipped with high performance GPS/GLONASS, the BGS8
module is prepared to meet the comprehensive requirements
of track and trace applications in the mobility aftermarket. It
also features voice prompts, generic flash access, reliable
jamming detection as well as an extensive set of secure
Internet services including:
• TCP
• UDP
• HTTP
• FTP
Like all Cinterion modules, the BGS8 includes full type
approval (FTA) for global roaming and certification for use
with the largest carriers worldwide.
Perfect M2M with
integrated GNSS
Multi Design Capability
BGS8 is ideal for integration in the slimmest and most size constrained
trace and track applications. The successful 2G chipset ensures long
product availability and together with the future proven LGA footprint and
seamless migration to 3G modules with and without GPS functionality.
Generic Flash Access
The BGS8 module enables generic access to the internal memory of the
module by the application processor, allowing it to store voice prompts or
download application software for upgrades.
RLS Monitoring
Radio link stability (RLS) monitoring enables the application to detect
jamming attacks,triggering preventive actions to secure the device.
