Easily integrate HSPA/GSM connectivity with 3G global embedded modems

Now stocked by Mouser, is the Digi XBee Cellular 3G global embedded modem. The device is designed to help OEMs avoid time-consuming and expensive FCC and PTCRB end-device certifications, the modem enables engineers to quickly and easily integrate 3G (HSPA/GSM) with 2G fallback connectivity into their M2M and IoT designs. The modem operates at 2.7V to 5.5V supply voltage and offers low-power listening and deep-sleep modes optimized for battery-powered applications. The modem utilizes the company’s TrustFence security framework, which includes Secure Boot, encrypted security keys, secure JTAG, and SSL/TLS 1.2 cryptographic protocols. All security and feature updates are performed using over-the-air (OTA) firmware for added manageability and convenience. All of the company’s products share the same footprint and software interface, so the modems offer a cost-effective, longer-range solution with a standardized footprint that allows designers to easily upgrade to new technologies. Customers can seamlessly transition from their existing modems to this new device with only minor software adjustments.
