Telit GE864-QUAD Atex

Click2Contact

Telit has released the GE864-QUAD Atex, the extra-rugged member of the GE864 product family incorporating quad-band functionality, RoHS compliance, as well as featuring low power consumption.

The module has been designed for critical applications working in explosive environments and, as such, it’s architectural and engineering specifications followed the strict requirements of the ATEX directive. This means, for example, that every critical component in the whole production cycle is traceable and features specific ATEX rates.

The highest level of intrinsic safety (ia) for this module makes its use suitable in the most critical environments (Group II, Category 1), and allows its integration into equipment to be used in potentially explosive atmospheres and/or in apparatus electrically connected to others located in such atmospheres.

The ball-grid-array (BGA) package provides for a very low profile in the integrated solution while at the same time enhancing the performance of mechanical resistance to shock and vibration increasing the safety of these applications. The elimination of connectors afforded by the BGA concept also brings down the solution cost compared to conventional mounting methods.

With its low-profile design, extended temperature range, and ESD and EMC compliance, the device is a suitable hardware platform for all atex m2m markets, both OEM and aftermarket.

All modules support over-the-air firmware updating by means of Premium FOTA management. By embedding RedBend’s vCurrent agent, the company is able to update its products by transmitting only a delta file, which represents the difference between one firmware version and another.

All products comply to the RoHS of EU Directive 2002/95/EG.
