Motorola has introduced the H24, an addition to its Machine-to-Machine (M2M) solutions portfolio.
The new HSPA wireless module will cater to M2M industry's need for high-speed 3.5G connectivity. The HSPA series of modules is comprised of the H24-Global, providing tri-band HSPA connectivity (850/1900/2100MHz); H24-Single (2100MHz); and H24-NA (850/1700/1900MHz).
HSPA comprises HSDPA, HSUPA and HSPA Evolved, defining the migration path of 3GSM (News - Alert)/W-CDMA operators worldwide. It is the credible choice for operators wanting to offer mobile broadband services to consumer and enterprise users in both urban and rural areas.
This new solution offers high-speed HSUPA/HSDPA connectivity (5.76 Mbps up / 7.2 Mbps down), enabling true mobile broadband for next generation M2M solutions like automotive infotainment systems, fixed-wireless terminals, telemetry, and advanced security systems featuring real-time video surveillance. It is also robust and has on-board GPS capabilities making it the ideal solution for location-based applications. The H24 includes receiver diversity for optimal performance under difficult network conditions as well as FOTA (firmware over the air), for maximum reliability.
The H24 is built in the compact form factor like its other Motorola (News - Alert) “24” family of wireless modules to provide flexibility with a single design solution. The H24 series includes quad-band GSM/GPRS and EDGE connectivity so that customers are able to add HSPA connectivity to their existing G24 GSM-based solution by integrating the H24.
Shamai Wasserman, vice president, Motorola Israel and director of the Motorola Wireless Modules business unit said in a release that "Motorola's H24 HSPA module enables the M2M industry to take advantage of global 3.5G network deployment."
"The addition of 3.5G HSPA technology to the ‘24’ family of wireless modules expands on Motorola's commitment to supporting all air interfaces with a single form factor," added Wasserman.
