3 Evaluation Kit

In order to assist you in the development of your

Telit GE864 / GC864 module

based application, Telit can

supply the

EVK2 Evaluation Kit

with appropriate power supply, SIM card housing, RS 232 serial port

level translator, direct UART connection, Handset, Headset and Hands-free (car kit) audio, antenna.
The

EVK2

provides a fully functional solution for a complete data/phone application.

The standard serial RS232 9 pin connector placed on the

Evaluation Kit

allows the connection of the

EVK2

system with a PC or other DTE.

The development of the applications utilizing the

Telit GE864 / GC864 module

must present a proper

design of all the interfaces towards and from the module (e.g. power supply, audio paths, level
translators), otherwise a decrease in the performances will be introduced or, in the worst case, a
wrong design can even lead to an operating failure of the module.
In order to assist the hardware designer in his project phase, the

EVK2

board presents a series of

different solutions, which will cover the most common design requirements on the market, and which
can be easily integrated in the OEM design as building blocks or can be taken as starting points to
develop a specific one.
