Product Concept
2.1. General Description
GC10 is a Quad-band GSM/GPRS engine that works at frequencies of GSM850MHz, GSM900MHz,
DCS1800MHz and PCS1900MHz. The GC10 features GPRS multi-slot class 10 and supports the GPRS
coding schemes CS-1, CS-2, CS-3 and CS-4. For more details about GPRS multi-slot classes and coding
schemes, please refer to the Appendix B&C.
With a tiny profile of 19mm×16.9mm×2.35mm, the module can meet almost all the requirements for M2M
applications, including Vehicles and Personal Tracking, Security System, Wireless POS, Industrial PDA,
Smart Metering, and Remote Maintenance & Control, etc.
GC10 is an SMD type module, which can be easily embedded into applications through its 44-pin pads. It
provides abundant hardware interfaces like Audio and UART Interface.
Designed with power saving technique, the current consumption of GC10 is as low as 1.3mA in sleep
mode when DRX is 5.
GC10 is integrated with Internet service protocols, such as TCP/UDP, HTTP and PPP. Extended AT
commands have been developed for you to use these Internet service protocols easily.
The module fully complies with the RoHS directive of the European Union.
