Cinterion TC65 Terminal

Plug into the wireless M2M market

The quad-band TC65 Terminal is going to revolutionise the machine-to-machine market! With features like the Java™ software development platform and a host of standard industrial interfaces, it's the first choice for product developers looking for an intelligent plug & play solution for m2m applications. Besides these key features, the compact and robust housing of the TC65 Terminal incorporates a SIM card holder and can also be DIN rail-mounted. Siemens mobile's new wireless terminal is perfectly designed for applications in fields such as fleet management, security, vending machines, metering and remote control.

The Java™ environment enables users to run the application software directly via the TC65T's microprocessor. This, in turn, enables the user to control the particular m2m application that is being run. Data from sensors and actors can be transmitted to a server via the Internet by means of the integrated TCP/IP protocol stack, for instance. Working in the convenient and protected software environment offered by Java™ makes it possible for developers to use the resources of the communication part and keep the number of redundant components in the target application down, thereby saving costs. And what's more, your time to market will be cut down dramatically!

IMP Next Generation (NG) lets you update your application software over the air (OTA) in a simple and reliable way, as well as transfer and receive confidential data in a secure environment using HTTPS or PKI encryption. The TC65 Terminal also features an LED that indicates the current operating status of the device.

Just like its variant, the TC65, the TC65 Terminal has FTA (full type approval) plus approvals from the world's largest network operators in accordance with R&TTE, FCC, IC, GCF and PTCRB standards. Thanks to these formal certifications, product developers can gain access to new markets and applications much more easily and shorten the time it takes to create a product that is ready for market launch.

Besides all these top selling points, the TC65 Terminal meets the latest environmental standards, including the EU's RoHS directive on limiting the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic devices.
