The Eurotech COM-1289 combines GSM/GPRS or GSM-R wireless cellular connectivity and a low power GPS receiver into embedded PC/104 systems. This low power integrated telematics board is the ideal choice for onboard computing applications requiring GPRS roaming across three continents and precise GPS positioning. A standard SIM-card can be installed onboard into a locking card holder, or onto an external SIM card carrier. Two versions of the COM-1289 are available from Eurotech, one with the Siemens MC55 GSM/GPRS modem or one with the Selex Communications RGM100 full-functionality GSM-R modem. GSM-R is widely used in rail and rolling stock system devices throughout Europe and Asia.

Onboard features include a 4-channel 16C550 compatible UART with two RS-232 serial ports are free for other devices, while two ports are reserved for the onboard cellular GPRS modem and GPS receiver. Board configuration is performed in software eliminating banks of configuration, interrupt and base address jumpers. The setup information is stored in a non voltaile EEPROM that is loaded upon power-up. Reconfiguring your COM-1289 is easy even after the system is completely assembled. The board supports full interrupt sharing for all the serial ports.
