INTRODUCTION

1. Description

The MTX-Java-IoT devices are an innovative and powerful all-in-one solution for the most demanding
M2M and Internet of Things applications, enabling GSM data & voice communication, SMS, fax and
2G/3G/4G high speed cellular data transmission.

The MTX-Java-IoT modems are Java J2ME programmable and have a complete set of interfaces (RS232,
RS485, USB, I2C, optoisolated IOs and Analog-to-Digital converter) avoiding need for further hardware
components, shortening time to market and reducing costs. It also has a modular architecture allowing
a series of optional features:

• GPS module inside: allows track & location applications

• RF card: up to 2x wireless modules (Wavenis, Bluetooth, ZigBee, ISM 868/915, LORA, Sigfox,…)

• Internal Li-Po Battery

• Ultra Low Power: 2.5µA power consumption in sleep mode. Ideal in remote-battery operated
systems

• Relay: latch relay or 220VAC/6A relay options are available

• Analog audio: enabling voice applications

Please read section Introduction 3 (Features by Model) to view the specic features of each device.

The MTX-Java-IoT family is industrially featured: the unit can be used in industrial environments due to its
extended operating temperature range. It also features an automatic restart after shutdown function in
case of power glitches or faulty conditions.

The MTX-Java-IoT are a self-contained modems with its own SIM card holder, USB 2.0 High Speed and
RS232/485 interfaces (among others), which minimize the need for further hardware development. This

device can be used as a powerful and exible device that can be integrated in a wide range of telemetry

applications that rely on the remote exchange of data, SMS or faxes via the GSM cellular network.

The ve-band functionality allows for operation in all relevant GSM frequencies across the world. Local

European and America economic variants are available. When UMTS/3G network operation is not
present, the MTX-Java-IoT can operate in lower speed modes such EDGE Class 12 (max. 237kbps DL,
max. 237kbps UL) or GPRS Class 12 (max. 85.6kbps DL, max. 85.6kbps).

The MTX-Java-IoT devices can also be controlled via AT commands and standard interfaces such us USB

2.0 High Speed or RS232 with Linux and Windows® drivers.

The MTX-Java-IoT family is RoHS & WEEE compliant and it is manufactured following the ISO 9001 & IS0

14001 Quality certications.

A full list of antennas, cables and accessory supplies are available.

The MTX-Java-IoT modems are powered by an internal EHS6/8/BGS5/ELS6/5 modules.

7.2 Operating modes

The table below briey summarizes the MTX-3G-Java operating modes referred to in the next chapters.

LIMITS FUNCTION

Normal
operation

GSM/GPRS/UMTS/
HSPA SLEEP

Power saving automatically activated when no calls
are in progress, the USB connection is suspended
by the host or not present, and there is no active
communication via ASC0.

GSM/GPRS/
UMTS/HSPA IDLE

Power saving is disabled if a USB connection is not
suspended, but no call is in progress.

GSM TALK/GSM
DATA

Connection between 2 subscribers in progress. Power
consumption depends on the GSM network coverage
and several connection settings (e.g. DTX off/on, FR/
EFR/HR, hopping sequences and antenna connection).
The following applies when power is to be measured in
TALK_GSM mode: DTX off, FR and no frequency hopping.

GPRS DATA GPRS data transfer in progress. Power consumption

depends on network settings (e.g. power control level),

uplink/downlink data rates and GPRS conguration (e.g.

used multislot settings).

EGPRS DATA EGPRS data transfer in progress. Power consumption

depends on network settings (e.g. power control level),

uplink/downlink data rates and EGPRS conguration

(e.g. used multislot settings).

UMTS TALK/UMTS
DATA

UMTS data transfer in progress. Power consumption
depends on network settings and data transfer rate.

HSPA DATA HSPA DATA

Low Power
mode

Available in “L” option devices. All the electronics systems remain disconnected
from the power supply input, with the exception of RS232/RS485 interfaces and
its controller. This allows to wake up the unit from those interfaces.

Ultra Low
Power mode

Available in “U” option devices. All the electronic systems remain disconnected
from the power supply input, with the exception of a little piece of logic which

allows for waking up the unit again from a tamper input or after a specied time.

Airplane
mode

Airplane mode shuts down the radio, causes the modem to log off from the
GSM/GPRS network, and disables all AT commands whose execution requires
radio connection. Airplane mode can be controlled by AT command.

SLEEP

Power saving set automatically when no call is in
progress and the USB connection is suspended by host
or not present and no active communication via ASC0.

GSM/GPRS/LTE

Power saving disabled or an USB connection not
suspended, but no call in progress.

GSM TALK/GSM

Power consumption depends on the GSM network
coverage and several connection settings (e.g. DTX
off/on, FR/EFR/HR, hopping sequences and antenna
connection). The following applies when power is to

frequency hopping.

GPRS DATA GPRS data transfer in progress. Power consumption

depends on network settings (e.g. power control level),

uplink / downlink data rates and GPRS conguration

(e.g. used multislot settings).

EGPRS DATA EGPRS data transfer in progress. Power consumption

depends on network settings (e.g. power control level),

uplink / downlink data rates and EGPRS conguration

(e.g. used multislot settings).

LTE DATA LTE data transfer in progress. Power consumption

depends on network settings (e.g. TPC Pattern) and data
transfer rate.

Power Down Normal shutdown after sending the power down command. Only a voltage

regulator is active for powering the RTC. Software is not active. Interfaces are not
accessible. Operating voltage remains applied.

Airplane
mode

Airplane mode shuts down the radio part of the module, causes the module to
log off from the network and disables all AT commands whose execution requires
a radio connection. Airplane mode can be controlled by AT command.
