5.1.1 GSM Antenna
The integrated modem antenna connector is a MMCX connector. The MMCX
connector incorporates a 'Snap On' latching action in order to make the connection
easier with an excellent RF performance. An additional advantage is its small
physical size which is 50% of the standard MCX connector.
This type of connector is suitable for the standard ranges of flexible and semi-rigid
cables. The characteristic impedance of the MMCX coaxial connector is 50 ohm.
The antenna manufacturer must guarantee that the antenna will be working
according to the following radio characteristics:

The WMOi3 integrated modem requires an MMCX (Miniature Micro Connector)
plug to connect an antenna
