MC55IW-Quad-band GSM/GPRS module

MC55i-W offers improved features such as a significantly 
reduced power consumption, an extended temperature range 
and the new tunneling mode. This mode allows to simplify 
the direct link of Near Field Communication (NFC) devices, 
sensors or GPS receivers to the micro controller of the host 
application, helping to lower the total cost of ownership for 
implementers.

Like all Cinterion modules it comes with full type approval 
(FTA) enabling use across the globe. It has even been 
certified by the largest carriers worldwide, including US 
operators.

It’s just 35 * 32.5 * 2.95 mm, but packed with impressive features: Quad-Band GPRS class 10, a TCP/IP stack, a RIL driver. The MC55i comes as all-round module suitable for a host of fields: security, vending, metering, gateways, remote maintenance and control, routers and a great deal more. The Quad-Band technology allows the module to be used anywhere in the world.

The RIL driver for Microsoft© Windows Mobile™ 6-based devices comes free of charge and simplifies the development of smart phones, PDAs and industrial handhelds.
