GSM/GPRS cell phone manufactures now have the option to use the Wavecom WISMO Pac, an integrated GSM/GPRS device, including a full set of options.

WISMO Pac measures 45 mm x 32.5 mm x 5 mm and weighs 11 grams. The first WISMO Pac series announced, named P3100, includes dual band 900/1800 MHz and 900/1900 MHz versions, meaning WISMO Pac applications can operate on GSM/GPRS networks worldwide.

The WISMO Pac P3100 series includes two product models, the P3103 (the 900/1800 MHz version) and the P3113 (the 900/1900 MHz version), each available with either 16/2 Mb or 32/4 Mb of memory.

Wavecom's Chip-Pac technology lies behind the unique WISMO Pac advantages in terms of manufacturing and size. Wavecom uses the Column Grid Array (CGA) design, which provides shielding, as well as connectivity, so the WISMO Pac can be automatically positioned and soldered onto a circuit board like any regular IC. By combining shielding, mounting, and connectivity in a single element, Chip-Pac technology allows Wavecom engineers to develop the world's most compact fully integrated GSM/GPRS solution.
