2.1 Overview

The Telit GG863-SR Gateway is an all-in-one gateway solution with a completely innovative
approach focusing on data transmission and routing between short range devices and IP networks.

Equipped with GSM/GPRS cellular and short range technology, GG863-SR provides gateway
functionalities to short range networks allowing remote access to each device connected to the
network.

Thanks to the modular design of GG863-SR Gateway, customers have great flexibility in designing
the short range network by choosing among:

1. different ISM bands (433, 868, 915 MHz and 2,4 GHz),

2. different protocol stacks (ZigBee, M-bus or Telit proprietary),

3. various network topologies (Star, Mesh, Cluster Tree),

4. wide coverage ranges (from 70m to 4km open air),

5. flexible transmission power specifications (from 1 to 500 mW).

Telit GG863-SR Gateway comes with a gateway application that dramatically reduces time to

market, and a user friendly web management console that allows easy maintenance of installed
devices.
