1 Introduction
The Mini PCIe (referred hereafter as MPCI) module has been designed to
allow the user ease of use with plug & play options available for all current
cellular technologies, including, LTE, GSM, UMTS, HSPA, and CDMA.
With plug & play options via the MPCI carrier board, the entire range of
Telit xE910 family is supported. Options such as GPS and Voice can easily
be fulfilled on supported modules without the need for you to re-work or
re-design your board.
In most cases, your design needs to provide flexibility depending on which
region the product is to be deployed and/or certified. The MPCI carrier
board takes the guess work out of this decision.
The MPCI board has been designed to allow for multiple options that
can be loaded depending on the target application. Options include, Active
GPS, Diversity antenna, 3 x GPIO, Analog Voice and SIM holder that are
available if required.
By providing this pluggable board on a popular interface, the MPCI board
allows the user the option to mount the module which best fits each and ev-
ery application of their product, no matter where it is rolled out world wide.
Full electrical and software (AT Command) compatibility is maintained
between each module type, be it, LTE Cat-1(LE910C1-AP), Cat-M1(ME910C1-
AU), HSPA+(HE910-DG), or GSM(GE910-QUAD).
