The flagship Cinterion® EHS6 is the 5 the generation of Thales’s Java embedded machine-to-machine (M2M) modules, which have simplified highly efficient, end- to-end industrial communication for the last decade. Thales’s Java strategy enables customers and partners to leverage the massive Java ecosystem by offering a powerful ARM11 architecture to reduce complexity and speed application integration. The tiny EHS6 module offers the latest Java ME 3.2 client runtime platform optimized for resource-constrained M2M applications. It significantly reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) and time to market by sharing internal resources such as memory, a large existing codebase, and proven software building blocks.
The improved Java concept uses Multi MIDlet Java execution to simultaneously host and run multiple applications and protocols. An extended security concept with the latest TLS/SSL engine provides secure and reliable TCP/IP connectivity while an enriched internal flash file system enables free-of- charge firmware updates over-the-air (FOTA) when required. Sophisticated sandbox modeling and layered architectures simplify device management (DM) and separate mobile network

operator approvals from application code development, allowing simultaneous progress of both phases for a shorter time to market.
Providing the capability for multiple designs from one solution, the newest addition to Thales’s Industrial platform is an ideal module for M2M applications migrating from 2G to 3G that require cost-efficiency along with global connectivity. EHS6 offers five-band HSPA to support high bandwidth connectivity, enabling speeds up to 7.2 Mbps in downlink and 5.7 Mbps in uplink and rounds out the existing portfolio comprised of the Evolution platform.
EHS6 comes in Thales’s unique Land Grid Array (LGA) package perfectly suited to the manufacturing needs of small, high-volume M2M devices with a focus on reliable and efficient processes.
The ultra-compact hardware design incorporates minimal power consumption, optimized heat dissipation even under harsh operating conditions, and an extended product lifecycle to guarantee long product availability. EHS6 supports common industrial interfaces such as USB, serial interfaces, I²C and various GPIO’s to be connected with the Java engine.

Global 3G with Java™ Embedded

BIP (Bearer Independent Protocol)

BIP secures broadband speed to eUICC (MIM / classic) to enable On-Demand Provision Service (OPS) and Remote Application Management by direct communication between eUICC and network based on internal TCP/IP stack. As a result it enables instant data connectivity on 1st use of a device, as well as a flexible mobile subscription throughout the lifecycle and a reduced number of customer device variants.

Analog Audio

The EHS6 platform incorporates a variant supporting high-quality digital and analog audio, which is often needed in alarm systems or e-call/ERA GLONASS solutions.

Java ™
Java offers easy and fast application development, a broad choice of tools, high code reusability, easy maintenance, a proven security concept, on-device debugging as well as multithreading programming and program execution.
