1. 
1) 
SIMO is a smart antenna technology that uses a single antenna at the transmitter side and two 
antennas at the receiver side to improve Rx performance. 
2. 
2) 
As per 3GPP specification. 
 
6.5. Operating and Storage Temperatures 
 
Table 26: Operating and Storage Temperatures 
 
 
 
1. 
1) 
Within the operating temperature range, the module meets 3GPP specifications.. 
2. 
2) 
Within the extended temperature range, the module remains the ability to establish and maintain a 
voice, SMS, data transmission, emergency call, etc. without any unrecoverable malfunction. Radio 
spectrum and radio network will not be influenced, while one or more specifications, such as P
out
, 
may  undergo  a  reduction  in  value,  exceeding  the  specified  tolerances  of  3GPP.  When  the 
temperature  returns  to  the  normal  operating  temperature  level,  the  module  meets  3GPP 
specifications again.   
 
6.6. Electrostatic Discharge 
 
The module is not protected against electrostatics discharge (ESD) in general. Consequently, it is subject 
to ESD handling precautions that typically apply to ESD sensitive components. Proper ESD handling and 
packaging  procedures  must  be  applied  throughout  the  processing,  handling  and  operation  of  any 
application that incorporates the module. 
 
The following table shows the module electrostatic discharge characteristics.
