Important Notes
1. Please handle the connectors with care as to not damage them.
2. LTE-A (CAT-6) and LTE-A Pro (CAT-12) FlexModule Minis have 2x cellular antenna
connectors while LTE-A Pro (CAT-18) and 5G have 4x cellular antenna connectors. So if
you are upgrading from LTE-A (CAT-6) or LTE-A Pro (CAT-12) to either LTE-A Pro
(CAT-18) or 5G, you will require additional antennas.
3. FlexModule Minis are fully interchangeable with other FlexModule Minis, e.g. Ethernet,
and cellular.
