add-in option for integrators of host devices and comprises the following
component parts:
• HSPA wireless network adapter with GPS, which is the wireless enabler
and GPS circuitry integrated onto the Mini Card PCB together with its
mechanical RF shielding.
• RF connectors, which provide physical connectivity to the antennas
integrated into the host device´s mechanical housing.
• System connector, which provides the data, control, power, status and
UICC interface between the host computer and the wireless network
adapter.
Below, the primary and secondary sides of the module are depicted.
All components except the two antenna connectors are covered by EMC
