4. Product Introduction The Linkwave LTE Modem Board is a board-level product aimed at system integrators requiring LTE wireless communications. It is compatible with an extended set of LTE bands covering worldwide operators, with high speed connectivity of up to 100Mbps downlink and 50Mbps uplink. Both GPS and GLONASS location services are available. The product is intended for integration into OEM equipment which has host processor with available USB interface. The available frequency bands for this product are as follows: 2100 (B1)/ 1800 (B3)/ 2600 (B7)/ 900 (B8)/ 800 (B20) (LTE) 2100 (B1)/ 1900 (B2)/ 850 (B5)/ 900 (B8) (WCDMA) Quad-Band (GSM/GPRS/EDGE) The product has a mini-usb interface for local communications and twin SMA connectors for antennas. A 5.0V DC power source is required for operation. The product does not derive power from the USB connector; a separate power connector is provided. However, the product must be connected to a USB host before it will power up. The product also provides GNSS location data in NMEA format. The GNSS antenna feed uses a separate U.FL connector, and can be configured for active or passive GNSS antennas. 5. Part Number The following part numbers refer to the versions currently available. Linkwave Part Number 9061-02 Product Description LTE Modem Board MC7304 with USB Interface FW 05.05.58.00 5.1 Product Supply The LTE Modem Board is supplied without a power cable. An optional 300mm DC power cable is available. Optional U.FL to SMA cables are also available if a bulkhead antenna mounting is required. LINKWAVE TECHNOLOGIES LTD. Page 4 of 8 08/12/15
6. Product Specification The product is a single PCA with a Sierra Wireless AirPrime MC7304 PCI Express Minicard attached. The board features associated components on the top side and a top entry SIM connector on the reverse side. Antenna 2 x right angled SMA connectors are provided for antenna connection. Alternatively, antenna connections can be made directly to the U.FL connectors on the MC7304. Connections are provided for main antenna, Rx Diversity/ MIMO second antenna and GNSS antenna. The GNSS antenna will be connected to an SMA connector by default. GPS Antenna U.FL connector Power 2 way Microfit 3 power connector SIM Top entry with slide locking mechanism Mounted on PCA reverse side USB For data communications only Mounted on PCA top side Electrical The PCA requires an external power source meeting the following requirements: Voltage: 5VDC ± 0.25VDC Current: 2.5A minimum LINKWAVE TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
