THALES EHS5-E REL.4

The Cinterion EHS5 module represents a milestone in embedded Java machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, offering smart connectivity for industrial applications. EHS5 delivers highly efficient 3G communication in an ultra-compact footprint. EHS5 is an ideal solution for M2M applications moving to 3G technology with a focus on longlasting, futureproof and cost efficient M2M applications. Offering a backward and forward compatible footprint, its multi design capability offers seamless migration and unmatched flexibility to choose frequency bands and global roaming whenever needed. The platform incorporates an improved Java concept using Multi MIDlet Java execution to simultaneously host and run multiple applications and protocols. An extended security concept with the latest TLS/DTLS engine provides secure and reliable TCP/IP connectivity while an enriched internal flash file system enables free of charge firmware updates over-the-air (FOTA) when required. Sophisticated sandbox modeling and layered architectures simplify device management (DM) and separate mobile network operator approvals from application code development, allowing simultaneous progress of both phases for a shorter time to market. Powered by Intel’s latest HSPA baseband, the next generation of the award-winning Industrial platform features high speed data communication with 7.2 Mbps (max) in the downlink and 5.76 Mbps (max) in the uplink. The tiny EHS5 comes in Thales M2M’s unique LGA (Land Grid Array) package perfectly suited to the manufacturing needs of small, high-volume M2M devices with a focus on reliable and efficient processes. EHS5 supports voice and data communication and best in class low power consumption incorporated with common industrial interfaces such as USB and serial interfaces. EHS5 is available in two variants: EHS5-US (850/1900 MHz) for North America, and EHS5-E (900/2100 MHz) for the rest of the world.

• BIP secures broadband speed to eUICC (MIM / classic) to enable On-Demand Provision Service (OPS) and Remote Application Management by direct communication between eUICC and network based on internal TCP/IP stack. As a result it enables instant data connectivity on 1st use of a device, as well as a flexible mobile subscription throughout the lifecycle and a reduced number of customer device variants.
