The FALCOM XT55-GSC3<br />
The XT55-GSC3 based on the XT55-<br />
GPS module, is designed to be used<br />
on any GSM network. This single and<br />
very small (35 x 53 x 5 mm) compact<br />
device, maintained features from the<br />
predecessor XT55-GPS module from<br />
Siemens, is a Tri-band GSM/GPRS engine<br />
that works on the three frequencies<br />
GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz, it also supports<br />
state-of-art GPS technology for satellite<br />
navigation.<br />
The XT55-GSC3 is a combined GSM/<br />
GPRS/GPS device that allows easy<br />
upgrade of the performance of existing<br />
XT55-GPS system solutions. The XT55-<br />
GSC3 is designed for application<br />
that prefers to use board-to-board<br />
connection to the main PCB application<br />
platform. The combination of these<br />
three technologies in such a small formfactor<br />
device will make many new<br />
asset-tracking applications possible,<br />
particularly in the fields of transportation,<br />
logistics and security. This combination<br />
concept builds the perfect basis for the<br />
design tracking solutions for applications<br />
such as fleet management, vehicle<br />
tracking, navigation, emergency calling,<br />
location-based services and others. It<br />
saves significantly both time and cost<br />
for integration of additional hardware<br />
components.<br />
The XT55-GSC3 incorporates 8 Mb of<br />
FLASH memory.<br />

XT55-GSC3<br />
Applications<br />
The integrated GPS<br />
module provides more<br />
than enough precise<br />
location information using<br />
satellite signals to enable<br />
users to determine where<br />
they are anywhere in<br />
the world. For battery<br />
powered applications,<br />
XT55-GSC3 features a<br />
charging control that<br />
can be used to charge<br />
a Li-Ion battery. The<br />
charging circuit must be<br />
implemented external<br />
the module on your<br />
application platform.<br />
