The Cinterion BGS2 module is the most successful 2G LGA
wireless module in the market offering full voice capabilities,
high speed GPRS data transmission and best-in-class low power
consumption, making it an exceptional choice for all-around
machine-to-machine communications.
The ultra-compact design offers a minimal footprint perfectly
suited to the needs of M2M manufacturers of small, high-volume
devices with a focus on reliable and efficient processes.
With BGS2 Release 2, the module adds Quad-Band GSM/
GPRS with advanced SSL encryption for IP-based services,
jamming detection, an analog and digital audio interface and
generic flash access to the internal memory of the module.
The unique multi-design capabilities of the new release allows
seamless migration to the world’s smallest 3G wireless module,
supporting HSPA data transmission within a contiguous design
framework to assure long-lasting, future-proof M2M applications.
BGS2 comes in two flavors as Quad-Band with GPRS class
10 (BGS2-W) and Dual-Band with GPRS class 8 (BGS2-E). As
is true with all Cinterion modules, the BGS2 includes full type
approval (FTA) for global roaming and certification for use with
the largest carriers worldwide.
Perfect M2M at Minimal Footprint
18.8 mm
27.6 mm
Multi Design Capability
The unique BGS2 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 and longevity of M2M applications.
Generic Flash Access
The BGS2 module enables the application processor to have a
generic access to the internal memory of the module, allowing it to
be used either to store voice prompts or to 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.
