Internet access as simple as dialling a phone number

The new feature Easy GPRS inside the GPRS module relieves you from writing the TCP/IP code and making your Internet access as simple as dialling a phone number.

The module allows your machine to machine communication to be delivered through the Internet and allowing access to the remote resources in the same manner as you would open a web site.

In the past your application required the PPP/TCP/IP stack in order to get access to the Internet through a GPRS module. This resulted in drawbacks like increased processing power, code size, memory costs and increased developing complexity. It was necessary to have PPP/TCP/IP protocol and Internet background knowledge.

To overcome this limitation the TCP/IP protocol stack is implemented inside the GPRS module. Easy GPRS automates your TCP/IP management, by providing an "Internet dial" command that makes the GPRS module do all the work and provide a virtual serial link with the application layer of the other peer entity, as if your Internet application is directly exchanging data on the serial port.

Easy GPRS allows your application, even the smallest one, to connect to the Internet easy. The advantages are:

  • Reduced complexity of applications
  • Faster time to market
  • Lower memory costs
  • Reduced developing costs
  • Increased reliability of the Internet application
  • Internet access also for low complex applications

You can order the GM862-GPRS with the Easy GPRS inside  or can get this feature by firmware upgrade.
