2 Introduction
This document describes the method of integrating the IPWireless PCI Express Mini module into an
OEM product.
2.1 Scope of Document
This document applies to the IPWireless PCI Express Mini module only.
2.2 Overview of Module
The IPWireless PCI Express Mini module provides a complete UMTS TDD wireless modem solution
and only requires to be inserted in a PCI Express Mini compliant interface and connection of external
antennas. The module is designed to minimise the time and resource required to integrate.

3 Module Connections
3.1 PCI Express Mini Interface (J1)
The IPWireless PCI Express Mini module is provided with a 52 pin edge connector for connection to
the external application. This connection supports the following interface types and these are
described below. The pinout is shown in Annex 1.
3.1.1 Universal Serial Bus
The PCI Express edge connector provides a USB 2.0 interface, this interface supports low speed
(1.5Mbps), full speed (12Mbps) and High speed (480Mbps) operation.
3.1.2 SIM Interface
The PCI Express edge connector provides a 4 line SIM interface to allow use with Subscriber Identity
Modules if required, this interface supports both 1.8V and 3.0V SIM’s. The SIM interface does not
provide ESD protection and this should be provided by the host device.
3.2 Media Independent Interface (J4)
The IPWireless PCI Express Mini module also provides a Media Independent Interface, this is a
separate interface and is used only with the IPWireless PEM Adapter Boards.

3.3 RF Connections
The IPWireless PCI Express Mini module provides two RF connections for external antennas. The
main port must be connected, the diversity port may or may not be connected depending upon
application. The connector type is the Hirose U.FL series.
Figure 2: RF Connections
3.4 DC Power
The module requires a DC supply of between 3.0V to 3.6VDC with the nominal voltage being
3.3VDC, maximum input current is 950mA at 3.3VDC. DC power is applied to the module via the PCI
Express Mini edge connector.

5 Regulatory Information
5.1 Compliance with FCC Rules and Regulations
The IPWireless PCI Express Mini module is certified against FCC Parts 27 & 90 for operation in the
698-798MHz frequency allocation. The module is certified under FCC ID: PKTPEMAEX and is only
certified for use with external antennas, the maximum antenna gain allowed is 8.6Bi. Please refer to
the FCC Grant of Certification for this device.
If the FCC ID label is not visible from outside of the host device, then an additional label is required on
the outside of the host device stating ‘Contains FCC ID: PKTPEMAEX’
IMPORTANT: Manufacturers of devices containing the IPWireless PCI Express Mini module are
advised to.
1. Clarify any regulatory questions, particularly if the host device contains other radio
transceivers.
2. Have their final product tested and approved for FCC compliance.
3. Include instructions with the final product regarding meeting RF Exposure requirements of the
FCC rules.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Caution: Changes or modifications not covered in this document must be approved in writing by the
IPWireless. Changes or modifications made without written approval may void the user’s authority to
operate this equipment.
5.2 Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
To comply with the FCC RF exposure rules, the UE PCI Express Mini module has been evaluated
against the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits defined in Section 1.1310 of the FCC rules
for the uncontrolled environment. During normal operation, all persons should maintain a distance of
at least 20cm from the antenna to ensure compliance with the MPE limits.
If after module integration, the user will be less than 20cm from the antennas additional RF exposure
assessment will be required.
