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.
Thales M2M Support includes:
- Personal design-in consulting for hardware and software
- Extensive RF test capabilities
- GCF/PTCRB conform pretests to validate approval readiness
- Regular training workshops
Local engineers, a competent helpdesk, a dedicated team of R&D specialists, and an advanced development center are the hallmarks of our leading support offer.
