Sierra Wireless AirPrime HL Series modules

Click2Contact

The Sierra Wireless AirPrime HL Series are small embedded wireless modules which offer complete pin compatibility and are interchangeable across 2G, 3G and 4G technologies. The modules include satellite navigation support with GNSS (GPS and GLONASS) and provide device manufacturers with the ability to serve different regions, across multiple network technologies, with one device design.

The flexible hardware design of the modules is showcased in the snap-in socket or solder-down options. Using the snap-in socket, device manufacturers can quickly place the module in the device any time in the production cycle and swap 2G modules for 3G or 4G modules in the future, even in completed and field-deployed devices. Both the snap-in and solder-down options enable manufacturers to leverage one design for their 2G, 3G and 4G deployments, simply by changing the module installed in production.

The series is also designed to be futureproof. With AirVantage Management Service, an off-the-shelf, cloud-based M2M platform from Sierra Wireless, users can upgrade device firmware over the air for thousands or even millions of deployed devices at a time, ensuring they can stay in service for many years while lowering maintenance time and operating costs.

The HL6528 supports quad-band GSM/GPRS and provides enhanced multi-network coverage with Dual SIM Dual Standby technology, which allows continuous operations. The HL8548 additionally supports penta-band HSDPA/HSUPA and quad-band EDGE for global coverage. Both offer low power consumption and an extended power supply range.

The series is suitable for M2M communications applications in point-of-sale, smart grid, fleet management and tracking.
