This document describes the hardware interface of the Sagemcom HiLo 3G M2M module used to connect the
device application and the air interface.
1.1 PRODUCT CONCEPT
The HiLo 3G module is one of the smallest available UMTS/HSDPA module of the market with an industrial
connector. The target application is the Machine to Machine (M2M) market including automotive, AMM
(Automatic Metering Management), tracking system, Alarm, etc. Despite its small size and cost, it has
comprehensive GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA data services.
In addition to its size it has the following outstanding characteristics:
• Automotive temperature range: -40°C to +85°C
• Minimum low power consumption in idle mode: 1.4mA
• High input voltage range: 3.2 V to 4.4 V
• USB High Speed
• Digital Audio PCM
• Form factor compliant with the HiLo module (thickness is higher)
• Pin to pin compliant with HiLo module for the main mandatory signals (Power, Sim, UART)
There are two variants of the HiLo3G module: HiLo3G-900 and HiLo3G-850. Both are quadband for GSM
(GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900) and triple band for UMTS respectively (Band I – 2100 MHz, Band II –
1900 MHz, Band VIII – 900 MHz) for HiLo3G-900 and (Band I – 2100 MHz, Band II – 1900 MHz, Band V –
850 MHz) for HiLo3G-850
As other Sagemcom GSM/GPRS/EDGE modules, it has a full set of AT commands as well as analogue and
Digital audio interface [1].
In addition to the HiLo 3G module a complete development kit can be provided to customers.
