Important

Notice Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data

can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be

totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless

devices such as the Sierra Wireless modem are used in a normal manner with a

well-constructed network, the Sierra Wireless modem should not be used in

situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any

kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury,

death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless accepts no responsibility for damages

of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using

the Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless modem to

transmit or receive such data.

Safety and

Hazards Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in areas where blasting is in progress,

where explosive atmospheres may be present, near medical equipment, near life

support equipment, or any equipment which may be susceptible to any form of

radio interference. In such areas, the Sierra Wireless modem MUST BE

POWERED OFF. The Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that could

interfere with this equipment.

Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is

on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the Sierra Wireless modem MUST BE

POWERED OFF. When operating, the Sierra Wireless modem can transmit

signals that could interfere with various onboard systems.

Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the

ground and the door is open. Sierra Wireless modems may be used at this time.

The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the Sierra Wireless

modem while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or

operator's control and operation of that vehicle. In some states and provinces,

operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.

Limitation of

Liability The information in this manual is subject to change without notice and does not

represent a commitment on the part of Sierra Wireless. SIERRA WIRELESS AND

ITS AFFILIATES SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL

DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, GENERAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,

PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,

LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR REVENUE

ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY SIERRA WIRELESS

PRODUCT, EVEN IF SIERRA WIRELESS AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES HAS BEEN

ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR THEY ARE

FORESEEABLE OR FOR CLAIMS BY ANY THIRD PARTY.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Sierra Wireless and/or its

affiliates aggregate liability arising under or in connection with the Sierra Wireless

product, regardless of the number of events, occurrences, or claims giving rise to

liability, be in excess of the price paid by the purchaser for the Sierra Wireless

product.

AirPrime Embedded Module Hardware Integration Guide

8 Proprietary and Confidential 2130114

Note: An understanding of

network technology, and

experience in integrating

hardware components into

electronic equipment is

assumed.

Purpose of this guide

This guide addresses issues that affect the integration of AirPrime embedded

modules into host products, and includes design recommendations for the host

products.

The Universal Development Kit

Sierra Wireless manufactures a Universal Development Kit (UDK) that facilitates

all phases of the integration process.

This kit is a hardware development platform that is designed to support the

AirPrime embedded modules listed in Ta bl e 1 - 1 on page 7. It contains the

hardware components that are typically necessary for evaluating and developing

with the module, including:

•Development board

•Cables

•Antennas

•Other accessories

For instructions on setting up the UDK, see PCI Express Mini Card Dev Kit Quick

Start Guide (Document 2130705).

Required connectors

Note: Contact vendors

before choosing your

connectors—the numbers

included here are for

reference only. Choose

connectors that are appro-

priate to your design.

When integrating AirPrime embedded modules into your host device, you need

the following connector types:

•RF cables that mate with Hirose U.FL connectors (model

U.FL #CL331-0471-0-10). Modules include one to three connector jacks

depending on individual module support for diversity or GPS functionality.

•Industry-standard mating connector for 52-pin EDGE—some manufacturers

include Tyco, Foxconn, and Molex. For example, the connector used on the

Mini Card Dev Kit board is a Molex 67910-0001.

•Industry-standard USIM connector (MC8xxx only)—the actual connector you

use depends on how your device exposes the USIM socket. For example, the

USIM connector used on the Mini Card Dev Kit board is an ITT CCM03-3518.

Guide organization

This guide includes the following sections:

1. Introduction (this section)

2. Power Interface on page 13

Describes power control signals used by the module and discusses design

issues related to power supply integration.

3. RF Integration on page 17

Describes antenna connection methods and grounding issues, RF inter-

ference and desense issues.

Introduction

Rev 2.02 Sep.10 Proprietary and Confidential 9

4. Host/Module Interfaces on page 21

Describes the USB interface for host/module communication, and the USIM

interface for host/module integration.

5. Regulatory Information on page 21

Describes regulatory approvals and regulatory information requirements.

6. Acronyms and Definitions on page 25

Lists acronyms and definitions used throughout this guide.

7. Index on page 27

Note: The term "host" always refers to the host device.
