The Cinterion EHS5 module represents a milestone in embedded
Java machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, offering smart
connectivity for industrial applications.
mobile network operator approvals from application code
development, allowing simultaneous progress of both phases for
a shorter time to market.
EHS5 delivers highly efficient 3G communication in an
ultra-compact footprint. EHS5 is an ideal solution for M2M
applications moving to 3G technology with a focus on longlasting, futureproof and cost efficient M2M applications. Offering
a backward and forward compatible footprint, its multi design
capability offers seamless migration and unmatched flexibility to
choose frequency bands and global roaming whenever needed.
Powered by Intel’s latest HSPA baseband, the next generation of
the award-winning Industrial platform features high speed data
communication with 7.2 Mbps (max) in the downlink and 5.76
Mbps (max) in the uplink.
The platform incorporates an improved Java concept using Multi
MIDlet Java execution to simultaneously host and run multiple
applications and protocols. An extended security concept
with the latest TLS/DTLS engine provides secure and reliable
TCP/IP connectivity while an enriched internal flash file system
enables free of charge firmware updates over-the-air (FOTA)
when required. Sophisticated sandbox modeling and layered
architectures simplify device management (DM) and separate
The tiny EHS5 comes in Thales M2M’s unique LGA (Land Grid
Array) package perfectly suited to the manufacturing needs of
small, high-volume M2M devices with a focus on reliable and
efficient processes. EHS5 supports voice and data communication
and best in class low power consumption incorporated with
common industrial interfaces such as USB and serial interfaces.
EHS5 is available in two variants: EHS5-US (850/1900 MHz)
for North America, and EHS5-E (900/2100 MHz) for the rest
of the world.

BIP (Bearer Independent Protocol)
BIP secures broadband speed to eUICC (MIM / classic)
to enable On-Demand Provision Service (OPS) and Remote
Application Management by direct communication between
eUICC and network based on internal TCP/IP stack. As a result it
enables instant data connectivity on 1st use of a device, as well
as a flexible mobile subscription throughout the lifecycle and a
reduced number of customer device variants.

eCall/ ERA glonass
Equipped with high performance e-call/GLONASS, the EHS5
platform is already prepared to meet the comprehensive
requirements of the European eCall and ERA-GLONASS initiatives
to bring rapid assistance to motorists involved in a collision.
JavaTM
Java offers easy and fast application development, a broad
choice of tools, high code reusability, easy maintenance, a
proven security concept, on-device debugging as well as multithreading programming and program execution.
