At CeBIT in Hannover, Ericsson presented four new wireless communication modules, the GM25, GM22, DM10 and DM20. These modules function very much like a mobile phone, but without the microphone, earpiece, keypad, or display and they enable wireless communication machine- to-machine. The modules can be built into a wide variety of equipment, including domestic appliances, industrial machinery, metering equipment and vehicles, automating many functions.
The GM22 is a dual band GSM module handling voice, SMS and fax. The GM25 is a dual band GSM module handling voice, SMS, fax and data. The DM10 is a dual band AMPS and TDMA 850 MHz module, handling voice, SMS, fax and data.The DM20 for AMPS 850 MHz and TDMA 850/1900 MHz module, handling voice, SMS, fax and data.
"The routine integration of a wireless module into a wide range of manufactured products is already beginning and will soon be taken for granted, much as the integration of the microchip is today," says Jan Ahrenbring, Vice President Marketing and Communication at Ericsson Mobile Communications. "We believe that the market will expand most rapidly in the following areas; automotive industry, fleet management/vehicle positioning and utilities."
The modules are intended for use in both man-to-machine and machine-to-machine applications where there is a need to send and receive data or SMS, as well as in telephony applications with full voice func- tionality. These modules can be used in applications including telemetry, intelligent transport systems, wireless and the automotive industry, as well as many telephony applications. A developer's kit consisting of three units, integration manual, cables, test adapters and software will be available.
Examples of applications where wireless communication modules find use are water, electricity and gas meters that are read digitally and reported automatically by wireless communication. A burglar alarm in a house could report to the authorities without human intervention. A car that has been in an accident could not only call for help automatically, but could also identify exactly where it is.
