[ANN] Freerunner GTA02A7+ on regular sales

[Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller]

Dear all,
to further improve the Freerunner hardware, we have done another  
upgrade and are now the first to sell the new variant GTA02A7+ from  
stock.

The difference to the A7 is that the #1024 rework ("recamping bug")  
has already been applied. Therefore the A7+ device now has a much  
longer standby time in the case that the Calypso GSM modem goes to  
sleep mode (AT%SLEEP=4).

The product link is

If you already own a A5/A6 or A7 device, we offer the rework as well,  
but you have to ship the device to us which needs approx. 2 weeks  
turnaround time:

PS: if you go to FOSDEM next week, please come to my presentation. I  
may give a glimpse what could come after GTA02A7...

PPS: our server may respond a little slow today since it is victim of  
a DoS attack
