The GE863-PY module, formerly known as Trizium, is the latest generation of the Trizium product family, adding Quad-band functionality and RoHS compliance as well as additional new features. This allows one consistent product for all global GSM networks and gives a significant cost advantage by saving approval and logistic costs.

The unique Ball-Grid-Array (BGA) package enables a very low profile and small product size to design extremely compact applications using location technology. Since all connectors are eliminated, the solution cost is significantly reduced compared to conventional mounting concepts.

With its low profile design and extended temperature range, the Telit GE863-PY is the perfect platform for all compact, medium- and high-volume m2m applications, additional features like Jamming Detection, integrated TCP/IP protocol stack, Easy Scan functionality give extended functionality to the application at no additional cost.

The GE863-PY offers the possibility to run a customer code inside the module, thus making the module a complete hardware platform for individual customer solutions. State of the art SPI and IIC interfaces give connectivity to external peripherals like sensors, cameras and displays.

As a part of Telit's corporate policy of environmental protection, all products comply to the RoHS directive of the EU.
