Telit, has announced global commercial availability of hybrid IoT modules that combine 3G Cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GNSS into a single package. The new HE922-3GR and WE922-3GR smart module series in the xE922 family are also the first to use the Intel Atom x3 SoC Processor technology with a self-contained quad-core processing engine and comprehensive I/O resources. Combined with the company IoT Portal and IoT Connectivity services, these modules deliver a complete end-to-end solution ideal for providers in a broad range of application areas including healthcare, vending, POS, public parking, smart buildings, smart grid and the industrial internet of things.
With a 34 x 40 mm LGA footprint, the WE922-3GR and HE922-3GR deliver unparalleled features for their size. Both modules include 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 LE support. The embedded global positioning receiver in the modules is compatible with GPS and GNSS constellations. Both of them integrate the functionality of an entire processor board inside the 441-pin package based on the 1.2 GHz, 64-bit, quad-core Intel Atom x3 processor series and include 8 GB memory, sensor inputs, battery charger logic, analog speaker and microphone audio connections, interface for primary and secondary cameras and direct support for high-resolution display with touch screen and/or keyboard. The application development environment is based on Android and Yocto Linux enabling access and reuse of vast libraries of functions and applications across all industries and segments. In addition to all of the above features, the HE922-3GR includes quad-band HSPA+ cellular connectivity delivering 21 Mbps download data rate with fallback to 2G. The 3GPP Release 7 compliant HE922-3GR module supports 850/900/1900/2100MHz 3G HSPA+ bands with 850/900/1800/1900MHz 2G. The upload data rate is 5.76 Mbps.
Both the WE922-3GR and HE922-3GR modules are available in two environmental grade variants. The commercial grade has an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C; the extended grade has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The modules can be connected to an SD card and provide connections for a USB 2.0 port with OTG, two UART and SPI ports and I2C support.
A developers kit is also available for the modules which includes a high-resolution touch screen with embedded cameras and audio, all the necessary antennas and a power supply.
