Wireless Module MC55/56

The MC55 and MC56 wireless modules are the smallest double tri-band modules on the market today. Being extremely compact in size, they are especially suitable for use in mass-produced consumer goods like mobile phones, smart phones, PDAs and other portable devices. Together, the two models of the tri-band module that are now available cover all of the GSM/GPRS networks that exist across the world - and subsequently enable you to develop products for the global market.

Next-generation cell phones, smart phones and PDAs are continually getting smaller and more compact. Weighing only 5.5 grams and with dimensions of 35 x 32.5 x 2.95 mm, the MC55/56 modules give you the highest degree of flexibility possible when it comes to integrating voice and data communication in your own products.

When combined, the two module variants constitute a double tri-band solution: while the MC55 supports the radio frequencies commonly used in Asia and Europe (900, 1800 and 1900 MHz), the MC56 supports 850, 1800 and 1900 MHz, which makes the latter particularly suitable for use in devices destined for the North American market. By using both, you can develop your products for use throughout the world.

The modules are designed for Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ 5.0-based devices (Smartphones and Pocket PCs). The required RIL/MUX software is enclosed in the scope of delivery.

The support team at Cinterion Wireless Modules will assist you in integrating the modules, and offers a full range of services from product design to product certification.
