2. Product concept
M50 is a Quad-band GSM/GPRS engine that works at frequencies of GSM850MHz,
GSM900MHz, DCS1800MHz and PCS1900MHz. The M50 features GPRS multi-slot class 12
and supports the GPRS coding schemes CS-1, CS-2, CS-3 and CS-4. For more details about
GPRS multi-slot classes and coding schemes, please refer to the
Appendix A and Appendix B
.
With a tiny profile of 24.5mm

2.6mm, the module can meet almost all the requirements
for M2M applications, including Vehicles and Personal Tracking, Security System, Wireless POS,
Industrial PDA, Smart Metering, and Remote Maintenance & Control etc.
M50 is an SMD type module with LCC package, which can be embedded in customer’s
applications. It provides abundant hardware interfaces between the module and customer’s host
board.
Designed with power saving technique, the current consumption of M50 is as low as 1.3 mA in
SLEEP mode when DRX is 5.
M50 is integrated with Internet service protocols, such as TCP, UDP, FTP and PPP. Extended AT
commands have been developed for customer to use these Internet service protocols easily.
The module fully complies with the RoHS directive of the European Union.
