1. INTRODUCTION

Scope

This document introduces the Telit LE915Ax-P family and presents possible and

recommended hardware solutions for the development of a product based on the

LE915Ax-P modules.

In this document all the basic functions of the module will be considered; for each of them

a suitable hardware solution will be suggested and eventually the wrong solutions and

common errors to be avoided will be evidenced. This document cannot embrace all

hardware solutions and products that may be designed. The information provided should

be used as a guide and starting point to successfully develop your product with the Telit

LE915Ax-P modules.

Information: The Integration of LTE/CBRS LE915Ax-P cellular

modules in single mode within a user application must be performed

according to the design rules described in this manual.

The information presented in this document is believed to be accurate and reliable.
