R&S®GC128 GSM Communication Unit

GSM-based data and voice communications

Overview

The GSM Communication Unit R&S® GC128 is designed to enable efficient wireless connections between computer networks via GSM. The standard model is equipped with one GSM module for data transfer. Three more optional modules can be integrated. Two additional modules for multi link (to increase the data rate) and/or one module for audio transmission are possible. When an audio transmission module is included, the R&S® GC128 can be used as a “normal” mobile phone.

It is also possible to use the three added modules for independent data links. Both the GSM 900 and the GSM 1800 bands are supported. Built as a 19-inch, one-height-unit rackmount model, it can be easily integrated into standard racks for indoor use. When integrated into the Rohde & Schwarz Transportable Communication System R&S® TMS-C, where it is protected by the transit case, it can also be used outdoors.

The device provides various interfaces to GSM antennas, network equipment such as routers, and RS-232-C and USB interfaces for remote control via a process controller.
