Important Notice
Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be
guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant
delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the Sierra Wireless modem are used
in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the Sierra Wireless modem should not be used
in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or
any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless
accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or
received using the Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless modem to transmit or
receive such data.
Safety and Hazards
Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in areas where cellular modems are not advised without
proper device certifications. These areas include environments where cellular radio can interfere such
as explosive atmospheres, medical equipment, or any other equipment which may be susceptible to
any form of radio interference. The Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that could interfere
with this equipment. Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is
on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the Sierra Wireless modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. When
operating, the Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard
systems.
Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground and the door
is open. Sierra Wireless modems may be used at this time.
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the Sierra Wireless modem while in control of
a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or operator’s control and operation of that vehicle. In
some states and provinces, operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an
offence.

PRODUCT, EVEN IF SIERRA WIRELESS AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR THEY ARE FORESEEABLE OR FOR CLAIMS BY ANY
THIRD PARTY.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Sierra Wireless and/or its affiliates aggregate liability
arising under or in connection with the Sierra Wireless product, regardless of the number of events,

1. Introduction
This document is the Product Technical Specification for the AirPrime HL7519 Embedded Module. It
defines the high level product features and illustrates the interfaces for these features. This document
is intended to cover the hardware aspects of the product, including electrical and mechanical.
The AirPrime HL7519 belongs to the AirPrime HL Series from Essential Connectivity Module family.
These are industrial grade Embedded Wireless Modules that provide data connectivity on wireless
networks (as listed in Table 1 Supported Bands/Connectivity).
The HL7519 supports a large variety of interfaces such as USB 2.0, UART, GPIOs, and dual SIM to
provide customers with the highest level of flexibility in implementing high-end solutions.
Table 1. Supported Bands/Connectivity
RF Band Transmit band (Tx) Receive band (Rx)

LTE B13 777 to 787 MHz 746 to 756 MHz
1.1. Common Flexible Form Factor (CF3)
The AirPrime HL7519 belongs to the Common Flexible Form Factor (CF3) family of modules. This
family consists of a series of WWAN modules that share the same mechanical dimensions (same
width and length with varying thicknesses) and footprint. The CF3 form factor provides a unique
solution to a series of problems faced commonly in the WWAN module space as it:
 Accommodates multiple radio technologies (from 2G to LTE advanced) and band groupings
 Supports bit-pipe (Essential Module Series) and value add (Smart Module Series) solutions
 Offers electrical and functional compatibility
 Provides Direct Mount as well as Socketability depending on customer needs
1.2. Physical Dimensions
AirPrime HL7519 module is a compact, robust, fully shielded module with the following dimensions:
 Length: 23 mm
 Width: 22 mm
 Thickness: 2.5 mm
 Weight: 3.5 g
Note: Dimensions specified above are typical values.
