Advantech is happy to announce the official release of the industrial grade 3.75G HSPA and standalone GPS combo mini PCIe module – EWM-C109F6G1E, which is an ideal solution for in-vehicle telematics and eCall applications in: emergency services, driving assistance, road charging, fleet management, and motor insurance. The telematics market is expected to explode by 2015 with the introduction of eCall services by European Commission.

Advantech Embedded Cellular and GPS Combo Module is Perfect Fit for eCall Requirements
eCall is a public pan-European emergency service initiative by the European Commission. It is designed to help save lives and increase road safety by promptly alerting emergency services when an accident occurs. It combines mobile communications and satellite positioning to provide rapid assistance to motorists in accidents anywhere in the European Union. The system will automatically make an emergency call if in-vehicle sensors detect an accident. All new cars must be fitted with eCall devices by 2015 to enable rescue services to quickly respond to road collisions.
Advantech is pleased to partner with u-blox, a leading semiconductor provider of embedded positioning and wireless communication solutions to design and deliver an ideal solution to meet this telematics demand. EWM-C109F6G1E is a full-size miniPCIe card combined with standalone GPS and 3.75G HSPA, and capable of -40 to +85 ° C operation, making it perfect for in-vehicle eCall products.

Key features include:
GPS subsystem: with u-blox hardware standalone industrial grade Max-6 GPS module, providing high reliability and accurate positioning information for in-vehicle eCall devices.
Cellular subsystem: industrial grade 3.75G HSPA cellular module providing an in-band modem to support eCall data transmission over voice channel (a mandatory requirement for eCall).
API / AT commands for managing eCall: the proprietary API/ AT commands are ready to create an MSD (Minimum Set of Data) to manage eCalls.
