Ethernet (the PHY is external to the module). See section 4.5.

•

SDCard interface for logging to an external SD card. See section 4.6.

•

GPIO and LEDs output. See section 4.10.

The table below summarizes the main differences between the mosaic models in terms
of hardware features. The frequency bands in blue are supported.

CLAS

mosaic-H

mosaic-H can be configured in two different band plans,
applicable to both antennas:

By default, mosaic-H operates in band plan #1, with the
E5b/B2b/B2I band enabled. Band plan #2, with B3 enabled
instead of E5b/B2b/B2I, is selected when the BDSB3I signal is
enabled with the
