The Telit GE865 breakout board WT25_GE865 makes it easier to get a microcontroller connected to the internet over 2G GSM/GPRS network.
The solder balls of the device can be soldered from behind the thin printed circuit board, as easily as industry standard DIP parts. The ball pitch on the GE865 is 2.4 mm.
Features include: optional RS232 using MAX3232 for easy set-up/debug using USB-to-serial dongle; linear LDO regulator on board, adjustable voltage setpoint and load point sense wire; status LED blinks at different rates to indicate connection status; 10-pin connection to P0-7 and Power on prototype board; MMCX antenna connector, MMCX to SMA cables available.
