The Sierra Wireless AirPrime SL6087 intelligent embedded module is now available.

The module offers GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity in a compact and lightweight form based on standard 25x30 mm LGA and is designed to suit the needs of manufacturers of small host devices in high-volume production.

The device offers a migration path to the footprint compatible 3G/HSDPA (SL808x) versions due for release late in 2010. The LGA surface-mount technology and the standardised form enable device manufacturers to place the modules into the final product using automated manufacturing equipment.

The module features quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) EDGE connectivity and an extended temperature range (Class A: -30 to +70°C and Class B: -40 to +85°C). It can be used as a simple modem, controlled via AT commands, or it can host and natively execute the user’s standard ANSI C/C++ application in addition to the communications function, eliminating the need for an additional processor.

The device is also delivered with the full set of plug-ins for Open AT OS, enabling users to add TCP/IP and internet, security, Lua scripting language and companion GPS capabilities.

In remote device management, the modules can be managed with Sierra Wireless AirVantage management services that enable manufacturers or service provider users to remotely monitor and upgrade AirPrime devices in the field through a web portal, saving considerable operating costs.
