The Cinterion EU3-E UMTS (3G) wireless module provides a full range of M2M functions and features. EU3-E offers the perfect solution for the challenging long term requirements of industrial applications such as automatic meter reading (AMR) solutions.
Dual band frequencies including newly added UMTS900 means EU3 can support applications designed for use on evolving GSM networks. UMTS 900 – is the frequency of future. By enabling UMTS functionality on the 900 MHz band, EU3-E offers increased coverage area for high speed communications even in very remote locations.
EU3 offers GPRS/EDGE functionality to support portable, mobile and fixed applications where 3G coverage is not available. Specifically designed for M2M applications, Cinterion’s EU3-E offers extremely fast data speeds on serial and USB interfaces for quick and easy data transfer. The 10GPIO pins guarantee the highest possible flexibility to connect customer application sensors.
