Hardware design is your responsibility, though U.S. Wireless Data can provide
recommendations where applicable.
Power Supply Considerations
The type of power supply and other specifications are determined according to the
needs you defined in Chapter 3, “Installation and Setup.” As with hardware design
in general, designing an appropriate power supply is your responsibility.
Identifying the Source Antenna
A typical interface to the USWD500 Modem’s antenna connector (MMCX) would
consist of RG-178 coax cable attached to a TNC, SMA, multi-UHF type antenna
connector. The USWD500 Modem operates using standard mobile cellular radio
signals (825 – 900mhz) and any standard cellular antenna of good quality, and
compliant with FCC requirements.
Setting Up a Development Test Environment
To facilitate hardware and applications development, a field test should be run.
Supplementing the test environment supported by U.S. Wireless Data, your
network carrier sometimes provides a live development network (separate from
the production network) on which you can develop and test your application. You
are responsible for negotiating with the network carrier for air-time and for building
and maintaining a development test environment at their facility.
Developing Software Applications
Development involves designing, coding, and testing end-to-end applications
between the wireless terminal and host. In addition to your specific software
application, U.S. Wireless Data suggests that you incorporate RF specific
reporting and monitoring features, such as RSSI (Received Signal Strength
Indicator), channel quality, and in-range/out-of-range conditions.
Performing EMI Testing
A proper design requires that you minimize EMI (electromagnetic interference)
radiated from your product’s platform. Excess noise reduces the USWD500
Modem's ability to receive, making the network less likely to be heard. It is your
responsibility to complete the testing.
