0 INTRODUCTION
0.1 General
This description is focused on the GSM/GPRS and GPS unit Phantom from FALCOM
GmbH. It contains short information about purpose and use of the Phantom
concept. This guide completes information needed to prepare and build
applications incorporating the Phantom unit.
The Phantom unit is a Tri-band GSM/GPRS engine that works on the three
frequencies GSM 850/1800/1900 MHz. The integrated GPS receiver architecture
based on the SiRFstarIII chipset provides more then enough precise location
information using satellite signals to enable to track objects where the Phantom unit
is installed anywhere in the United States, Canada and Mexico. With its integral
housing, compact design and ultra-low power consumption, powered by a
rechargeable (3.7V/850 mAh) battery it is an outstanding quality, highperformance, operating as a stand alone unit. The configurable internal firmware is a
fundamental component which in combination with the excellent hardware
performance makes the Phantom unit to be on the top of applications where the
fleet management and objects safety and security today are required. The Phantom
unit consists of the GSM/GPRS engine, 20-chanel GPS receiver, IEEE 802.15.4,
Bluetooth™ class 2 and a 3-D motion detector (allowing it to run in low power and
Alarm mode) as an all-in-one solution.
Figure 1: View of PHANTOM unit
The embedded Class 2 Bluetooth™ transceiver is capable of communicating with
any Serial Port Profile Bluetooth™ device, within a 10m radius. The Phantom in
communication with your installed GPS Mapping software on the Bluetooth™enabled device points you the way comfortably and reliably from the current
location A to your desired destination B. The phantom allows you to navigate freely
without the hassle of messy wire connections.
A compact “stacked FLASH/SRAM” device stores the PHANTOM software in the flash
memory section of the GSM/GPRS part, and the static RAM section provides the
additional storage capacity required by GPRS connectivity.
