1System description

1.1 Overview

SARA-G3 series are versatile 2.5G GSM/GPRS wireless modules in a miniature LGA (Land Grid Array)

form factor.

SARA-G350 is a full feature quad-band GSM/GPRS wireless module with a comprehensive feature set

including an extensive set of internet protocols. SARA-G350 also provides fully integrated access to u-blox

GNSS positioning chips and modules, with embedded A-GPS (AssistNow Online and AssistNow Offline)

functionality.

SARA-G310 and SARA-G300 are respectively quad-band and dual-band GSM/GPRS wireless modules

targeted for high volume cost sensitive applications, providing GSM/GPRS functionalities with a reduced set

of additional features to minimize the customer’s total cost of ownership.

SARA-G3 wireless modules are certified and approved by the main regulatory bodies and operators, and

RIL software for Android and Embedded Windows are available free of charge. SARA-G3 modules are

manufactured in ISO/TS 16949 certified sites. Each module is tested and inspected during production. The

modules are qualified according to ISO 16750 –Environmental conditions and electrical testing for electrical

and electronic equipment for road vehicles.

Table 1Table 1 describes a summary of interfaces and features provided by SARA-G3 modules.
