2 Overview

This chapter gives a general description of the G510 module.

2.1 Description

The G510 GPRS Module supports GSM Quad Band 850/900/1800/1900 MHz., GPRS supports class 10.
G510 can operate on any GSM/GPRS network to provide data communications. The G510 is similar to a
condensed cellular phone core, which can be integrated into any system or product that needs to transfer
voice or data information over a cellular network. Thus, it significantly enhances the system's capabilities,
transforming it from a standalone, isolated product to a powerful high-performance system with global
communications capabilities.
The built around a cost effective 32-bit XCPU RISC core running at up to 312MHz with 4k of
Instruction cache and 4k of Data cache, RDA8851BL offers plenty of processing power for multimedia
applications. A high performance proprietary 16/32-bit digital signal processing engine can further
improve overall performance and user experience when performing complex multimedia tasks.
The G510 is designed as a perfect GSM/GPRS communications solution with all the controls, interfaces
and features to support a broad range of applications:
 Low cost
 Mini size
 More settings and control signals
Low power consumption

All these features and interfaces are easily controlled and configured using a versatile AT command
interface that provides full control over the G510 operation. The G510 control and indication interface
extends its capabilities beyond GSM communications. This includes a regulated output voltage for
supplying external circuits. With these interfaces, the G510 can operate and control external applications
and receive feedback from external environment and circuits.
The G510 interface design, using a single 42 pin SMT, through which all application interfaces are
managed, facilitates fast and easy integration. It significantly shortens the development process, and
minimizes the product's time to market.
