PHS8 Wireless Module
The Thinnest 3G LGA Module in the Market
The new Cinterion PHS8 HSPA+ cellular machine-to-machine
(M2M) module offers a smart solution for wireless connectivity
today and in the future. With the latest HSPA+ technology,
PHS8 is optimized for high bandwidth and allows speeds up to
14.4 Mbps for downlink and 5.7 Mbps for uplink. PHS8 is avail-
able in different versions, the PHS8-P, PHS8-J and PHS8-K
with fi ve bands UMTS for true global roaming and local dual
band variants, the PHS8-US / PHS8-USA (United States) and
PHS8-E (Europe), for improved TCO. PHS8 provides true
worldwide coverage and reliability even while roaming across
different wireless network technologies. By enabling a full
range of M2M functions and features, PHS8 protects your
technology investment by ensuring reliable communications
today while allowing room for growth to 4G cellular technology
on evolving GSM networks for many years to come.
PHS8 with its variants offers an ideal communication solution
for the challenging requirements of a variety of M2M
applications such as ruggedized mobile computing, security
solutions, medical equipment, payment systems and gateway
routers.
Two antenna pads enable diversity support allowing PHS8 to
provide improved data speeds even under fl uctuating 3G
network conditions. The GPS antenna path is optimized for
elimination of blanking on GPS for consistent performance.
The unique type of LGA technology enables optimized heat
dissipation that prevents warpage. It gives our customers the
freedom to select the most benefi cial soldering paste for
each individual application.

Future Proof Design
At just 2 mm in height, PHS8 is ideal for integration in the slimmest and
most size constraint M2M solutions. With the latest long-life chipset and a
footprint prepared for forthcoming LTE modules, PHS8 provides longevity
and a reliable path to the future for any high-bandwidth M2M applications.
Full Voice Support
PHS8 includes best-in-class analog audio processing which allows quick
& easy audio implementation.
Improved Power Management
PHS8 improved power management features preserve the battery power
necessary for remote M2M devices and reduce heat generation. Combined
with its intelligent design for superior heat dissipation, PHS8 is the fi rst
choice for temperature critical M2M applications.
