Expedite G301™ Development Kit
Thank you for your interest in Novatel Wireless Technologies for wireless GPRS
connectivity. When it comes to mobile connectivity, Novatel Wireless offers more freedom
than ever before. Available with a 70-pin interface connector, the G301 GPRS Tri-Band
OEM modem offers ease of integration of GPRS Wireless data and voice.
In order to use your G301, you will require the following items and information:
• A computer with a Windows® 98 SE, ME, NT4 SP6, 2000, or XP operating
system, and a standard RS-232 Communications Port.
• A SIM card activated with GPRS service
• Your GPRS service provider's Access Point Name (APN)

What is a SIM Card?
A SIM card is a component of the GSM™/GPRS network that contains your subscription
information, and provides storage capacity for text messages and an address book. Your
SIM card must be connected to the G301, with use of the Interface board, in order for it to
operate on the network. The GSM/GPRS network uses your SIM card to authenticate and
register your device. If you lose your SIM card, contact your carrier immediately.
Integration Kit Includes:
• Expedite G301
• Interface PCB
• Power Supply
• Communications Cable
• Antennas
