Physical Characteristics
Size: (32.0±0.15) × (29.0±0.15) × (2.4±0.2)mm
Weight: approx. 4.9g
Temperature Range
Operation temperature range: -35°C ~ +75°C
1)
Extended temperature range: -40°C ~ +85°C
2)
Firmware Upgrade
USB interface and DFOTA*
RoHS
All hardware components are fully compliant with EU RoHS directive
1.
1)
Within operating temperature range, the module is 3GPP compliant.
2.
2)
Within extended temperature range, the module remains the ability to establish and maintain a
voice, SMS, data transmission, emergency call, etc. There is no unrecoverable malfunction. There
are also no effects on radio spectrum and no harm to radio network. Only one or more parameters
like P
out
might reduce in their value and exceed the specified tolerances. When the temperature
returns to normal operating temperature levels, the module will meet 3GPP specifications again.
3.
“*” means under development.
