The Cinterion BGS2 module is the most successful 2G LGA  

wireless module in the market offering full voice capabilities,  

high speed GPRS data transmission and best-in-class low power  

consumption, making it an exceptional choice for all-around  

machine-to-machine communications.  

The unique multi-design capabilities of the new release allows  

seamless migration to the world

mallest 3G wireless module,  

supporting HSPA data transmission within a contiguous design  

framework to assure long-lasting, future-proof M2M applications.  

BGS2 comes in two flavors as Quad-Band with GPRS class  

10 (BGS2-W) and Dual-Band with GPRS class 8 (BGS2-E). As  

is true with all Cinterion modules, the BGS2 includes full type  

approval (FTA) for global roaming and certification for use with  

the largest carriers worldwide.  

The ultra-compact design offers a minimal footprint perfectly  

suited to the needs of M2M manufacturers of small, high-volume  

devices with a focus on reliable and efficient processes.  

With BGS2 Release 2, the module adds Quad-Band GSM/  

GPRS with advanced SSL encryption for IP-based services,  

jamming detection, an analog and digital audio interface and  

generic flash access to the internal memory of the module.  

Multi Design Capability

Generic Flash Access  

27.6 mm  

The BGS2 module enables the application processor to have a  

generic access to the internal memory of the module, allowing it to  

be used either to store voice prompts or to download application  

software for upgrades.  

RLS Monitoring  

Radio link stability (RLS) monitoring enables the application to detect  

jamming attacks, triggering preventive actions to secure the device.
