Optimized for the Japanese market, the module nonetheless offers full roaming capabilities for the rest of the world. With a rich set of cutting-edge communication features such as HSDPA 3.6 Mbit/s, Tri-Band UMTS/HSDPA, and Quad-Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, the all-new HC28 raises the technology bar.

Like all other Cinteiron modules, the HC28 is engineered to speed time to market and cut development costs. It offers a gratifying combination of top-drawer communication capabilities and platform features such as RIL/NDIS/USB and Multiplex drivers for Microsoft®-based devices, paired with a robust mounting and interface concept. These interfaces, among them the module’s USB and Serial ports, readily connect to your application.
