M10 Hardware Design
M10_HD_V3.0 - 15 -
2. Product concept
The M10 is a Quad-band GSM/GPRS engine that works at frequencies GSM850MHz,
GSM900MHz, DCS1800MHz and PCS1900MHz. The M10 features GPRS multi-slot class 12
and supports the GPRS coding schemes CS-1, CS-2, CS-3 and CS-4. For more details about
GPRS multi-slot classes and coding schemes, please refer to Appendix A and Appendix B.
With a tiny profile of 29mm×29mm ×3.6 mm, the module can meet almost all the requirements
for M2M applications, including Tracking and Tracing, Intelligent Instrument, Wireless POS,
Security, Telematics, Remote Controlling, etc.
M10 is an SMD type module, which can be embedded in customer application through its 64-pin
pads. It provides all hardware interfaces between the module and customer’s host board.
Designed with power saving technique, current consumption of M10 is as low as 1.1 mA in
SLEEP mode when DRX is 5.
M10 is integrated with Internet service protocols, which are TCP/IP, PPP. Extended AT
commands have been developed for customer to use these Internet service protocols easily.
The modules are fully RoHS compliant to EU regulation.
