AT commands Hayes 3GPP TS 27.007, TS 27.005, Gemalto M2M

Java™ Open Platform Java™ Open Platform with

EHS8 Hardware Interface Overview Page 10 of 43

AT commands for RIL compatibility

• Java™ profile IMP-NG & CLDC 1.1 HI

• Secure data transmission via HTTPS/SSL

• Multi-threading programming and multi-application execution

Major benefits: seamless integration into Java applications, ease of programming, no need for application microcontroller, extremely costefficient hardware and software design – ideal platform for industrial GSM applications.

The memory space available for Java programs is around 8 MB in the flash file system and around 6MB RAM. Application code and data share the space in the flash file system and in RAM.
