13. U5 modem hosting socket (solder pads)
13.1 U5 description
U5 pad grid was designed to host LTE M2M xE866 modem family manufactured by Telit.
The modem selection is driven by the type of LTE network to support i.e. Verizon or AT&T.
All modems belonging to xE866 family share the same pinout and can be placed directly on
the reserved solder pads.
Other types of modems may require layout modifications (U5 area only).
