Overview
Ericsson’s C3607w is a high performance Mobile Broadband Module capable of
providing wide area wireless data access at speeds up to 7.2 Mbps downlink and up
to 2.0 Mbps uplink in a 192-lead LGA package. It offers both triple band
WCDMA/HSPA and quad-band EDGE/GPRS/GSM mobile access to the internet or
corporate networks worldwide with flexibility including “always online” capability.
C3607w uses USB as the main system interface for data and control
communication. In addition, it is capable of providing a 26MHz system clock signal
to be used by an external GPS receiver residing on the host platform.
The module is hardware prepared for voice functionality. Later on when voice is
supported SPI will be used as main system interface. The voice data communication
will be done through the PCM interface.
The hardware is also prepared to support HSUPA category 6, which can deliver
uplink data rates up to 5.76 Mbps.
