SIMCOM5210 | All docs can be opened under the letter of authorization Aug 8.13 | Teenie says it's OK. | Good (Shawn Aug.7.2008) | [1] |
WiFi and BT Combo Module (AR6002+BC6) | Not Checked | Not Checked | Good (Shawn Aug.7.2008) | [2]WIFI[3]Bluetooth |
Wavecom WMP100 | AT docs open, ability to program new AT commands for everyone with a "free"(ly available) SDK. | Order quantity? | Component is fine, but only supports Class10 GPRS unfortunately (Shawn Aug.11.2008) | No idea, see wavecom.com (sort of) |
Wavecom Q26 Ultra | same as wmp100 | Order quantity? | GPRS cl10, EDGE cl10, WCDMA, but thick (40x32x6.55mm) | No idea, see wavecom's website |
UC864 (3.5G modem) | Detailed documentation on Web. Can get even for more documentation from reseller. | Any Qty is good. Price depends strongly on the qty. | First impression is good. UC864G includes all known bands and GPS receiver (saves more space & complications) | UMTS/HSDPA |
