The Eurotech COM-1288 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-1288 are available from Eurotech, one with support for the standard GPRS bands and a version supporting GSM-R frequency band. GSM-R is widely
used in Rail 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 altogether two ports are reserved for the cellular GPRS modem and one for the GPS-receiver.
Board configuration is easy using the FlexiSet EEPROM board settings eliminating banks of interrupt
and base address jumpers. Reconfiguring your COM-1288 is easy even after the system is completely assembled.
The board supports full interrupt sharing for all the serial ports. 16 bit wise programmable digital I/O can
be used to interface to other low power digital devices, whereas the two automotive level digital
inputs can be used to connect to any +12V or 24V digital signals. System expansion is easy using the
onboard I2C-bus.
