The GE865 GSM/GPRS Cellular Module extends Telit’s range
of BGA products, incorporating a single-chip solution built on
0.13 µm CMOS technology into a 22 mm x 22 mm x 3 mm
block. The GE865 offers voice, SMS, and data features with
QUAD band support for global deployments.
The low profile and small size of the BGA package for the
GE865-QUAD enable the design of extremely compact
applications. Since connectors are eliminated, the solution cost
is significantly reduced compared to conventional mounting.
With its ultra-compact design and extended temperature range,
the Telit GE865-QUAD product is a flexible platform for high-
volume m2m applications and mobile data devices. Additional
features such as integrated TCP/IP protocol stack and serial
multiplexer extend functionality of the application.
The GE865-QUAD module, supports Over-the-Air firmware
update by means Premium FOTA Management. By embedding
the RedBend’s vCurrent Mobile®agent, a proven and battle-
tested technology powering hundreds of millions of cellular
handsets world-wide, Telit is able to update its products by
transmitting only a delta file, which represents the difference
between one firmware version and another.

Evaluation Kit for All Telit Modules
The motherboard includes the basic interfaces, such as power
input, SIM card holder, audio monitor outputs, RS-232, and
USB 1.1, as well as a Reset button and power switch. The
motherboard represents the recommended reference design
for the module’s peripheral circuitry. Jumper blocks on the
motherboard define the routing of the serial interfaces, audio
signals, and power supply. The PC or DTE controlling the module
over the AT-command interface can be connected via USB or
RS-232. Adapter boards are available in different models to
allow development for the desired module family (board-to-board
or BGA solder). The set of basic interfaces found on by the
motherboard. The set of interfaces specific to the module
(e.g. antenna, General Purpose Inputs/Outputs (GPIO), A/D
converter/D/A converter, UART etc.) is found on the adapter
board for connection to the user’s application, extension boards,
or other development tools and measuring equipment.
