Telit has released the GE863-PRO³ that includes a quad-band GSM/GPRS class 10 engine as well as a dedicated ARM9 application processor (the ATMEL standard microcontroller AT91SAM9260) and Flash & RAM memories.

The ball-grid-array package concept enables a low profile and a small product size to design extremely compact applications. Since all connectors are eliminated, the solution cost is reduced compared with conventional mounting concepts.

The dimensions of the ARM package have also been decreased so that users can reduce the dimensions of the entire system that integrates GPRS, the additional processor and the memories.

With its low-profile design and extended programming capabilities in C++ and/or Python, fast ROM and RAM plus power management, 4 MB serial flash (expandable) and 8 MB SDRAM (standard) expandable up to 64 MB for custom designs, the device is suitable for all compact solutions.

Interfaces such as SPI, IIC, SD/MMC and USB give connectivity to external peripherals (camera, keyboard, display), complementary short-range wireless technologies (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee) and position location technology (GPS).

The ARM core also includes real-time OS (Linux), multitasking and fully available 200 MIPS, fundamental for complex real-time applications.
