03 Apr 2009

AC65i and AC75i are the sixth generation of automotive grade modules released by Cinterion Wireless. Designed to meet the specific requirements of the European eCall initiative, the new modules add advanced telematics features.

Fully type approved for worldwide GSM networks, both modules are ideal for automotive applications such as toll collect solutions, telematics applications, fleet management, emergency call and roadside assistance solutions that must operate seamlessly across country and network borders.

Equipped with Cinterion's standard automotive module features including antenna diagnostics, remote SIM access profile, Radio Link Stability (RLS) monitoring, RIL software for Microsoft® Windows MobileTM 6.1 based devices and advanced temperature management, the new modules also integrate a powerful ARM9TM processor for embedded onboard processing. In combination with integrated large memory capacity, they form the perfect basis for sophisticated telematics applications.

Prepared in advance to meet the coming requirements of the European eCall initiative, the new modules are compliant with all relevant quality standards including TS 16949 and are listed in the IMDS (International Material Data System).

"Cinterion is and always has been a pioneer in the automotive M2M marketplace, and with each successive product generation, we've been driving innovation to meet expanding market demands," said company CEO Norbert Muhrer.
