1 Generalities
1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 Overview
The main objectives for this board, discussed also with the marketing are:

Get lowest cost solution to enable BT and WLAN for a maximum of IP terminals

Enable new usages like
o
The phone is seen as a carkit for a smartphone
o
The phone can exchange phonebook with a smartphone
o
The phone can support tags through BT Low Energy
o
The phone can support WLAN

From R&D point of view:
o
The board must be small enough to be integrated easily into our ID.
o
The board must integrate the antenna to avoid a re-certification for each phone
which would use it.
For this project, a pre-study has been done.
The choice is to do a daughter board with the module from AMPAK, with an integrated antenna on
the layout (Printed antenna).
1.1.2 Aim of the document
A pre-study has been done, in order to define the best choices for the whole solution, going from
antenna to the BT and WLAN management software in the phone.
This document is intended to give all the technical inputs in order to make a BTWDB daughter
board which will be used on the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise IP Phones.
A first step will be to use it on Pleiades phone, but we should care to make it possible to be used
also on nextgen phones.
1.2 Services provided by the feature or equipment
The BTWDB will give a BT5.0 and WIFI connectivity to the product where it is mounted into. The
main reasons of this daughter board are to have:

A common function usable on several phones without the need of RF expertise and full
Blu WLAN qualification

A cost-effective solution
