PDS5 Wireless Module
Highly Efficient 3G in a 2G Footprint
The Cinterion PDS5 module represents a milestone in
embedded Java machine-to-machine (M2M) communication,
offering smart connectivity for industrial applications.
PDS5 delivers highly efficient 3G communication in an
ultra-compact footprint. PDS5 is an ideal solution for
M2M applications moving to 3G technology with a focus on
long-lasting, futureproof and cost efficient M2M applications.
Offering a backward and forward compatible footprint, its
multi design capability offers seamless migration and
unmatched flexibility to choose frequency bands and global
roaming whenever needed.
The platform incorporates an improved Java concept using
Multi MIDlet Java execution to simultaneously host and run
multiple applications and protocols. An extended security
concept with the latest TLS/SSL engine provides secure and
reliable TCP/IP connectivity while an enriched internal flash
file system enables royalty free firmware updates over-the-
air (FOTA) when required. Sophisticated sandbox modeling
and layered architectures simplify device management (DM)
and separate mobile network operator approvals from
application code development, allowing simultaneous
progress of both phases for a shorter time to market.
Powered by Intel’s latest HSPA baseband, the next generation
of the award-winning Industrial platform features high speed
data communication with 7.2 Mbps (max) in the downlink and
5.76 Mbps (max) in the uplink.
The tiny PDS5 comes in Gemalto M2M’s unique LGA (Land
Grid Array) package perfectly suited to the manufacturing
needs of small, high-volume M2M devices with a focus on
reliable and efficient processes. PDS5 supports voice and
data communication and best in class low power consump-
tion incorporated with common industrial interfaces such as
USB and serial interfaces.
PDS5 is available in two variants: PDS5-US (850/1900 MHz)
for North America, and PDS5-E (900/2100 MHz) for the rest of
the world.
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.
Gemalto M2M’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 PDS5 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.
