The XT55 and XT56 are the first compact double tri-band GSM/GPRS modules equipped with a GPS receiver for satellite navigation. The combination of these two technologies allows seamless tracking of goods, vehicles, and persons. The tracking modules will make many new applications possible, particularly in the fields of transportation and logistics as well as security. The two models of the tri-band module cover all of the GSM/GPRS networks that exist across the world - and subsequently enable you to develop products for the global market.

The modules can, for instance, make the transportation of valuable freight more secure by continually transmitting positioning data on the location of the freight to the owner and the freight forwarder.

The Siemens modules XT55 and XT56 with GPS are all-in-one solutions that accelerate new products' time-to-market: Pre-configured functions and their compact size make them easy to integrate into new applications. The custom evaluation kit includes various standard settings and protocols for the modules, enabling seamless integration into new applications. R&TTE, GCF, FCC, PTCRB, IC, CE and network operator certification have already been obtained, thereby simplifying the approval process.

The modules are designed for Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ 5. 0 based devices (Smartphones and Pocket PCs). The required RIL/MUX software is enclosed in the scope of delivery.

Key features of the XT55/56 include:

Double tri-band operation: 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz (XT55), and 850, 1800 and 1900 MHz (XT56)
GPRS class 10, PBCCH support
Compact dimensions (53 mm x 34 mm x 5. 1 mm)
TCP/IP via AT commands with: TCP, UDP, HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3
TricklePower (low power consumption in energy-saving mode)
GPRS class 10
More precise positioning thanks to crystal oscillator (TCXO) technology
Designed for Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ 5. 0 based devices (Smartphones and Pocket PCs)
