GL1280 V5

OEM Hybrid Transceiver and Data logger

Introduction
The GL1280 series provides a highly integrated
solution for hybrid Satellite + 3G solutions and is
ideal for anyone wishing to develop and customise
their own communication solutions. A-Tick approved
out of the box allows the GL1280 to be integrated
into a custom OEM end product.
Based around the Atmel ATMEGA1280 AVR the
GL1280 provides a reliable platform for developing
applications based on the latest 2G, 3G and LTE
modules from Telit as well as to provide options for
Satellite (Iridium), GPS (GNSS), Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Applications

The compact 80 x 100mm board mounts into

existing extruded aluminium cases or for outdoor
applications can be mounted into an IP rated
enclosure.
The GL1280 provides options for Penta Band 3G
HSPA+ (GFF910-G), Quad band 2G (GC864-QUAD)
as well it provides GPS mouse options with SiRF,
Mediatek and ST Micro receiver engines supporting
GPS, Glonass and QZSS. There is a built in relay,
uSD , external RAM, accelerometer and optocoupled GPIO and iButton support.
Basic tracking application posting position, time
and speed data to Open GTS mapping server is
available for evaluation, as well the option to
provide API to update the application over the air
and there is the ability to embed Python script on
the Telit 2G and 3G modules also.

Vehicle tracking with Alarm and diagnostics.

Programming

Expansion Port

Options to program and embed your application

in C, C++ or Arduino are supported as well many
basic applications are available running within
Free RTOS and compiled within the free GCC
compiler.
Coding and compiling via the free AVR-Studio
and either using the AVRISP2 or the DragonICE
for programming and debugging over the JTAG
connector.
Alternatively Arduino code can be written and
compiled and downloaded via the serial port
with the Arduino bootloader.

To further enhance the capabilities the expansion

port provides power and communications via
UART3 as well GPIO from the AVR.

Iridium 9602 Low Earth Orbit

Satellite Transceiver module.

Custom daughter cards can be fitted with the

Iridium Satellite transceiver, Long Range
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

BT modules with integrated iWrap BT stack, UART, internal

or external antenna options.
IWRAP5 Overview
iWRAP5 firmware is an embedded
software that runs in the internal RISC
processor of WT32, WT12 and WT11 and
WT41 modules.

WT12 Short Range <10m

Iridiums Short Burst Data Service

(SBD) is a simple and efficient
satellite network transport. The
interface between the Vendor
Application and the Iridium Gateway
uses either standard Internet mail
protocols or an IP Socket type
interface to send and receive
messages.

Features:
Bluetooth v. 2.1 + EDR
Bluetooth class 2 radio
Transmit power: +3 dBm
Receiver sensitivity: -86 dBm
Range: 30 meters line-of-sight

WT41 Long range <1km

Features:
Bluetooth v. 2.1 + EDR compatible
Bluetooth class 1 radio
Transmit power: +20 dBm
Receiver sensitivity: -90 dBm
Range: 1000 meters line-of-sight

iWRAP4 implements the full Bluetooth

protocol stack and a set of Bluetooth
profiles,
Serial Port Profile (SPP)
Hands Free Profile (HFP)
Headset Profile (HSP)
Object Push Profile (OPP)
File Transfer Profile (FTP)
Dial-up Networking Profile (DUN)
Human Interface Device (HID)
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile
(A2DP)
A/V Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)
Device Identification Profile (DI)
Health Device Profile (HDP)
Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP)
iWRAP4 also implements two Bluegiga
proprietary profiles,
Bluegiga IO profile (BGIO) and
Over-the-Air Configuration Profile (OTA)

Global Form Factor

Developed by Telit the 80way Global Form Factor interface provides
option to fit 2G, 3G and 4G modules by way of an 80 pin Molex
interface.
This interface provides commands and data along with GPS NMEA back
to the ATmega1280 host MCU.
All modules support Python code programming and there is option to
provide connection to the USB port back to a dedicated daughter board.

GFF910 Series
Based on the Telit Global Form Factor concept the GFF910 series
provides option to add the latest HE910 series of Telit HSPA
modules. This unique concept provides for easy migration path to
4G and future technologies.

GPS Mouse options and accessories

Different options are available for adding GPS, the lowest
cost option is to connect Active GPS antenna this can be
achieved either with a combo, GSM+GPS antenna or with
a standard model with 2meter cable and male SMA.
