PC/104 CPU Board with GPRS modem?

Jan 22, 2007 3 Replies

I searched some hours with Google, but could not find much for my needs.



Anybody knows if there is a PC/104 CPU board with a GSM GPRS modem on the same single board? I know there are GPRS extension modues but I'm looking for a single module solution.



Probably I'm demanding too much, but maybe I have luck and some company builds such boards?... ;)



No much CPU power required, 100 MIPS would be fine.



Thanks for any hints, Udo



The only onboard solutions I have so far seen were extra PC104 cards just with either GSM/GPRS module or PCMCIA slot for a card. There may be one but not very likely. Even these PC/104 modules were much more expensive than a standalone module.

You will find it a lot cheaper and easier to find the PC/104 CPU of your choice and a standalone module.

Thanks for your reply. I'm not very suprised that there are no combined modules. At the moment the only possibility would probably be a CPU board with CompactFlash slot and a CF modem. Not sure if that's expensive.

So far I found these GSM modules (with GPS options):

EuroTech COM-1289:

Emac PCM-36E06:

FNM UMTS modem:

(have no pricing details of these)

Do you know about others modules?

You could try a German company

They have Telit modules and others, on site various documents and their euro price list.

PC104 module but expensive

Search for GSM or GPRS modems shoul reveal a few others. Siemens and others make these modules, sometimes refered to as Machine to Machine comms or M2M phone/data services.
