Background information

The NXP Nexperia cellular system solution 5209 is a complete hardware/software design for entry-level EDGE modem applications. Supplied with all the pre-validated hardware and software for a finished design, it enables rapid capitalization in today’s fast-growing markets.

Offering full quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE operation, it is a cost-effective solution that addresses the full EDGE modem market, including GPRS/EDGE class 10, for use with PCMCIA cards, USB dongles, PDAs, M2M, and more.

The core components include a high-performance baseband, a power management unit (PMU) with fully integrated battery charger, and a complete four-band transceiver. High integration, along with optimized processing power, keeps power consumption and delivers industry-leading standby and talk times.

The design is fully GCF/PTCRB tested and pre-validated, so you can bring new solutions to market quickly, with a high level of maturity and easy customization.

More than 250 million Nexperia-based systems have been brought to market, making these some of the most extensively proven designs available. NXP deployed the world’s first EDGE solution (the Nexperia cellular system solution 6120), and now offers EDGE for the mass market on top of a market-competitive GPRS platform. By using mature technology available in production volumes, the system solution 5209 ensures reliability and the fastest possible time-to-market for handset makers.

The system solution 5209 comes with a set of tools, so you can modify the PCB layout. The result is a development cycle that moves from prototype to mass production in record time, with dedicated support for industrial partners.
