Thales M2M is proud to introduce the Cinterion BGS5: the next
step in advanced 2G machine-to-machine (M2M) processing
and communications. BGS5 provides advanced processing and
an embedded Java virtual machine to offload the application,
or even remove the microprocessor, significantly reducing the
device complexity and Bill of Material (BOM) cost. With a small
footprint compatible with the Cinterion Industrial platform, it offers
the perfect complement to 3G solutions when the application
processing power is required, but the high throughput is not.
At only 27.6 mm x 18.8 mm x 2.7 mm, BGS5 is the smallest
module to offer advanced application processing power. It
is a full Quad-Band GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
module with GPRS class 12 support. Designed to deal with
harsh environments, BGS5 supports M2M-grade extended
temperature ranges.
The application processor makes BGS5 the perfect fit for
applications like track and trace or Automatic Meter Reading
(AMR), remote maintenance and control, and aftermarket
telematics. In such applications, the module itself can be
programmed to collect specific information, process it via
embedded business logic, and send the results at a scheduled
time. Device makers can program and add applets to fit their
needs, or use existing JSRs which are publically available. As the
Java platform is open, this code can then be ported to other Java
enabled devices later without requiring additional modifications.
As part of our Edge-to-Enterprise concept, the embedded Java
allows seamless integration between your application and
the backend server – optimizing information collection and
processing while ensuring you a future-proof infrastructure.
In addition any infrastructure developed on this platform can
easily be migrated to any other Java enabled Cinterion module.
BGS5 is a key product for the Industrial platform which embeds
intelligence directly in the module, saving you cost and design
complexity!
Perfect M2M at
Minimal Footprint
27.6 mm
LGA technology
Land grid array, or LGA, is a surface-mount technology for fully
automated manufacturing allowing to benefit from efficiency and
process consistency. Cinterion’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.
18.8 mm
Multi Design Capability
The unique BGS5 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.
