1 Introduction

The TALON-LTE is a self-Contained vehicle tracking device that combines GPS location with

LTE connectivity.

The TALON-LTE appears to a user or a server application as a single endpoint device. It can

be queried, updated and configured either through a serial connection, or an over the air IP

connection, or through SMS messaging. The TALON-LTE presents itself over these

connections as an enhanced cellular modem with attached functional elements. These elements

include:

 GPS location engine  2 General Purpose Bidirectional I/O (GPIO) pins  1 Relay drive pin output  Serial UART port  Input voltage monitor (optional)  Timers  Watchdog lockup protection (Dedicated watchdog circuit is optional)  Factory load option for motion detection

Access to these elements and general purpose interfaces is done through an extended AT

command set as defined herein.

Application scene:

This product will be designed based on the 4G wireless data/SQN3223 Baseband chipset, which

includes ARM CPU and LTE_CAT1 protocol. This baseband internal connection 4M serial

flash, LTE_B4&B13 RF Transceiver, and RF Front end circuit.

The device will use one dual band antenna（LTE_B13&B4）and one dedicated GPS antenna.

2.1 Basic Hardware

The TALON-LTE provides support for specialized hardware features through extended AT

commands. The features supported include the following.

GPS

The major functionality of the GPS module is to compute the correlation results between the

incoming signal and the selected PRN code based on certain Carrier Doppler Frequency, Code

Doppler Frequency, code phase, carrier phase, and the particular satellite the module is tracking

or acquiring.

LED

Function

Status

Red

GPS

On: GPS satellites acquired and Locked

Flash Slow: GPS satellite search is in progress

Off: No power or GPS subsystem fault

Green

Cellular

GPIO

Two GPIO pins, GP1 and GP2, are presented to the external environment on the main connector.

They are general purpose bidirectional lines capable of providing system interrupts to generate

a report or drive logic levels to external devices. These lines are 2.8V logic level and are 16V

tolerant. These pins default to input. GP1 is pulled down representing 0 when disconnected;

GP2 is pulled up representing logical 1 when disconnected. They should be asserted to a known

value if used. GP1 is intended to use for Ignition Sensing.

LED’s

Two LED status indicators are provided to verify correct installation and operation. The status

LEDs are color coded and directly convey the status of the cellular and GPS subsystems as

described in the table below. Their valid operation also indicates operational status and power.

On: Indicates WWAN connection is made

Connection

The TALON-LTE provides user control allowing the LEDs to be extinguished once installation

is verified. This feature reduces power and further conceals the TALON-LTE Tracker from

untrained parties wishing to defeat its operation.

Flash Slow: WWAN subsystem initialized but no connection

Flash Fast: WWAN initialization in process

Off: No power or WWAN subsystem fault

UART

A UART port is provided for AT command and data interaction and optionally for application

specific control. The UART can also be used as an expansion port for sensors and other

peripherals

Relay Driver

A 500mA sink capable output pin is provided. This pin is meant to drive a relay coil indented

to interrupt the starter solenoid relay for the ignition circuit to a car.

Battery Monitor

The battery monitor is internal analog input scaled such that the DC value of the power input

pin to the TALON-LTE system is measured. This value is scaled to span the most significant 8

bits of the A/D and consequently covers a scale from 0 to 25.5 Volts.

Timers

Timers resident on the baseband chip generate periodic interrupts for power down wakeup,

watchdog support, report generation and other timer related functions. Report timers are

supported by related AT command and cause generation of periodic reports.
