The new GE865 product family introduces the smallest GSM/GPRS Ball-Grid-Array (BGA) modules in the market.

The low profile and small size of the unique BGA package for the GE865-QUAD enable the design of extremely compact applications. Since connectors are eliminated, the solution cost is significantly reduced compared to conventional mounting.

With its ultra-compact design and extended temperature range, the Telit GE865 product line is the perfect platform for high-volume m2m applications and mobile data devices. Additional features such as integrated TCP/IP protocol stack and serial multiplexer extend functionality of the application at no additional cost.

The GE865 makes it possible to run the customer's application inside the module using Python Script Interpreter, thus making it the smallest, complete platform for m2m solutions. State-of-the-art SPI interfaces provide connectivity to external peripherals such as sensors and displays.
