Introduction
PCI Express Mini Card
Novatel Wireless has designed a line of embedded broadband access modules around the PCI
Express Mini Card standard. This product line provides platform developers and system
integrators with the ability to enable global 3G broadband access. The governing body for PCI
Express standardization is PCI SIG (Peripheral Component Interconnect Special Interest Group.)
The website for PCI SIG can be found at the following URL:

Getting Started
Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide advance design and integration information to assist
in the integration planning and evaluation of Novatel Wireless PCI Express Mini-cards. This
document is intended to specify key components of the integration tools available for the Novatel
Wireless line of PCI Express Mini-cards.
The EV620 is Novatel Wireless’s versatile module to add WLAN capability to other devices. It
was developed to be integrated into other devices such as kiosks or vending machines based on
the PCI Express Mini-card specification 1.0.
The EU730™ and EU740™ are Novatel Wireless’s mini-card developed for small form factor PCI
Express cards specifically used for Wide Area Wireless (WAN, i.e. cellular) technology.
Therefore, the EU730™ and EU740™ will work with all Windows driven laptops given the drivers
are properly installed. When you install MobiLink™ on a Windows OS system it will automatically
include the drivers necessary to communicate with the PCI Express Mini Card. MobiLink™ is
Novatel’s Windows application manager for the PCI Express Mini Card. MobiLink provides an
easy interface to make a data connection, change operating parameters, and view alerts such as
SMS or signal strength indicator. However, anyone can still install the drivers manually and so will
be discussed in the following sections. In addition, once the drivers are installed, following the
Phoenix Client API functions, anyone could develop their Client side software manager to interact
with the PCI Express Mini Card.
When using any of these devices, EU730, EU740™ or the EV620, activation is required for the
device to be allowed on the operator’s network. For example, Sprint requires the customer to run
IOTA, Internet Over-The-Air, provisioning to prepare the device to work on the wireless network.
Activation is required for the EV620 while the EU730™ and EU740™ require a valid SIM card
before it can be used on the operator’s wireless network. Please refer to section on provisioning
with IOTA for assistance.
Windows Platforms
The Phoenix API will interface with your top level applications and provide the abstraction of the
module specifics to the upper applications. Please refer to the Phoenix API Interface Chapter for
details.
Please refer to the MobiLink Phoenix SDK chapter for details on developing applications and
communicating with the modem on Windows platforms.
Safety Warning
Neither the EV620 nor EU730 / EU740 products may be used in an environment where radio
frequency equipment is prohibited or restricted in its use. This includes aircraft/airports, hospitals,
and other sensitive electronic areas.
Under extended operation the EU730™ and EU740™ modem will generate a noticeable amount
of heat. Like all PC Cards, the modem generates heat during normal operation and will be heated
by the host computer. For this reason it is recommended that after extended periods of operation,
prior to removal and handling, you allow the modem to cool down.

FCC RF Interference Statement
FCC applies to EV630 and EU730/740. Refer to sections on Regulatory Compliance for more
details.
Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference Statement: The EV620
product has been certified to comply within the limits of a class B digital device pursuant to Part
15, Part 22 and Part 24 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in residential situations. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not properly installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, or to laptop
computers and PDA's. This can be determined by turning the equipment on and off. You are
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna of the television, radio or cordless telephone.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional
suggestions.
Radio Frequency Exposure Evaluation Requirements
The radio frequency exposure evaluation requirements for the embedded module are specified in
the module Product Specification. In general, for the United States market, the embedded
modules are treated as “mobile devices” as per FCC CFR47 paragraph 2.1091.
A mobile device is defined as “a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed
locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 cm is
normally maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or
nearby persons.” The antenna type used for the radio frequency exposure evaluation must be
specified in the documentation and sold with the module. If the module is used with a different
antenna type and/or in a design where the separation distance of 20 cm is not normally
maintained, the radio frequency exposure evaluation should be repeated for the new
configuration. In some cases the module use may fit the definition of “portable devices” as per
FCC CFR47 paragraph 2.1093.
Some devices are not subject to radio frequency exposure evaluation prior to equipment
authorization, depending on the transmitter power level and frequency band of operation.

USB Interface
The Mini card acts as a peripheral device and supports the USB 2.0 standard at low speed (1.5
Mbps) and full speed (12 Mbps). It does not support the high speed (480 Mbps) mode of
operation.
RF Interface
The EV620 and EU730/740 are designed to be connected to an external antenna integrated into
the laptop. The antenna port presents a nominal 50Ω impedance.
Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) Interface
A 5 line SIM interface is provided on the mini-card edge connector for the EU730/740. The signal
levels comply with the ETSI standard Specification of the 3 Volt Subscriber Identity Module -
Mobile Equipment (SIM-ME) interface (GSM 11.12 version 4.3.1). Note that no ESD protection
will be provided on the card. The host device is expected to provide the ESD protection at the
SIM connector.
The OEM Module supports a 3.3V SIM as described in ETSI 11.12. The relevant signals are
brought out on the 70 pin connector.
The ETSI specification also dictates that the system be made aware if the SIM card is
disconnected during operation. This function is handled by the SIM_IN signal. This line should be
asserted high when a SIM is present. The SIM_IN signal is pulled low on the OEM Module by a
4.7kΩ resistor so that when a SIM is not present the line will be low. Care should be taken not to
use a weak pull-up for the SIM_IN signal. If the OEM Module will be integrated into a system in
which the SIM cannot be removed.
USIM Interface
The USIM will be provided by the host. A SIM connector is not included on the card. The interface
to the USIM is provided on the host interface connector.
LED Interface
The LED_WWAN signal provides an LED driver as per the Mini Express PCI card specification.
The LED operation is outlined in the table below.

Drop 75 cm
The EV620 product operates in a reliable fashion consistent with CDMA (IS-98C) and PCMCIA
V2.1 standards. It will withstand three-foot drop and still remain functional.
Provisioning with IOTA
This applies only to the EV620. The EU730 & 740 use SIM cards and don’t require any type of
IOTA.
Sprint PCS uses IOTA to perform their provisioning before a wireless device is allowed on the
data network. This process is operator specific so there maybe variations as to how provisioning
is done. In all cases, please contact the network operator if you have questions concerning
activation and subscriber related questions.
When using the PCI Express Mini Card, the activation is done by MobiLink™. MobiLink™ will
automatically detect if the EV620 module needs to perform any provisioning on Sprint’s network.
Since the EV620 module does not use MobiLink, you must run IOTA from the primary port on the
EV620 module. Novatel Wireless has developed an embedded IOTA Client called, eIOTA that
interfaces through AT commands. This Client will allow the subscriber to execute an IOTA
session to perform provisioning of the EV620. Once this is done, the EV620 can access the
1xRTT and 1xEVDO networks.
For use with Sprint PCS, the subscriber first needs to contact a sales representative to activate
the EV620. The Sprint PCS representative will present to the subscriber the MDN or MIN
numbers with the SPC. These parameters need to be entered into the EV620 if it does not
already exist. Upon the time of receiving these parameters, Sprint PCS has a time provisioning
requirement of 1.5 days to 2 days for the EV620 to perform and complete an IOTA session. If the
subscriber does not complete the IOTA provisioning within this time, the subscriber will have to
call Sprint PCS again to reset the provisioning timer.
At the end of this section, there is a flowchart diagram that further explains the process of using
eIOTA.
eIOTA
eIOTA is a subscriber unit provisioning Client, or Provisioning Service Agent. Embedded in the
CDMA wireless modem, the Client communicates with Handset Configuration Manager, the
operator’s IOTA server, to download provisioning data to the subscriber unit or upload settings
per server's request. It allows the operator to remotely perform provisioning without having to
bring the wireless device into a sales location.
eIOTA is disabled by default from the factory. This is done because if eIOTA was active, it would
automatically attempt an eIOTA session if the EV620 has not already completed provisioning.
When the subscriber finishes entering the MDN or MIN, they could either enable eIOTA and have
the EV620 automatically attempt an IOTA session after a power cycle or initiate a manual IOTA
session.
Enabling, disabling, and starting eIOTA
eIOTA Client can be enabled or disabled by issuing the AT commands:
Novatel Wireless, Proprietary & Confidential
Page37
• To enable: AT+IOTA=1
• To disable: AT+IOTA=0
• To force start: AT+IOTA=2
There are two ways to start eIOTA, NIIP(Network Initiated Initial Provisioning) or CIIP(Client
Initiated Initial Provisioning). In NIIP, operator’s IOTA server pushes a special SMS message to
the Client to trigger an IOTA session. In CIIP, a session can be triggered by locally issuing an AT
command: AT+IOTA=2.
Checking eIOTA status
The AT command: AT+IOTA=? Is used to query the eIOTA status while IOTA is active.
Please refer to AT+IOTA in the AT Commands Chapter for details.
Cautions that need to be taken when eIOTA is active
DO NOT power off the unit until IOTA session is finished.
DO NOT remove the antenna from the unit.
DO NOT disconnect the data call issued by eIOTA.
When running eIOTA, to ensure no power lost, make sure to use the AC power and NOT the
battery power.

FCC Implications – Mobile vs. Portable Devices
Testing for SAR for Portable Device must be done if within 20 cm of body. SAR testing is not
necessary for Mobile Devices.
TRP (Total Radiated Power) Requirements
Good radiated performance is critical to the effective operation of a mobile in networks. A
comprehensive characterizing of radiated performance enables carriers to know how well mobiles
work within the specific network design constraints. Generally , peak EIRP (Effective Isotropic
Radiated Power) is not a good indication of mobile performance in the field. From a field
performance perspective, measurement of the average and peak EIRP on a head model is more
meaningful than measurement of peak EIRP in free-space conditions. This spherical effective
isotropic radiated power is termed TRP (Total Radiated Power.) The TRP is the sum of all power
radiated by the antenna, regardless of direction or polarization, as illustrated below.
Figure 8: Total Radiated Power
Tests shall be carried out for three different frequency pairs across the bands supported by the
device, as defined for CDMA TIA/EIA-98-D and for GSM 1900 3GPP TS 51.010 in the tables
below.

Table 14: CDMA Test Frequencies
Table 15: GSM-1900 Test Frequencies
Radiated power measurements will be recorded in the “free-space” configuration on all applicable
frequencies. For portable units , TPR measurements are repeated on all applicable frequencies.
TPR will be reported using the Figure of Merit for industry analysis. Device power shall comply
with the power levels specified in the relevant industry standards.

Phoenix & Blaze
Phoenix is the brains of the SDK. Phoenix maintains a single state machine which all Clients
communicate with. Anything and everything involving communication to the device takes places
through the Phoenix server. Implemented as a Document/View executable supporting
automation, the Phoenix server automatically keeps a count of how many Clients are attached to
it via COM interfacing. The server is initialized automatically once the first Client is instantiated
and shut down once the last Client instance is terminated. With the beauty of OLE Automation,
the Phoenix server can be utilized using many different programming languages, including C++,
MFC, JavaScript, VBScript, etc. Refer to Phoenix.chm for API documentation. If wanting to use
Phoenix in Visual Studio, import the type library Phoenix.tlb and create a wrapper class for it.

MobiLink Connection Manager
Overview
Firmware is installed in all modems prior leaving the manufacturing facility. Firmware updates in
the EV620 can be performed by using the EV620 Development Kit Interface Board and Novatel’s
MobiLink. However in the EU730™ and EU740™, all that is necessary is the MobiLink software.
The MobiLink tool can also be used to change CDMA parameters and many other settings. All
these actions will be explained in the following sections.
These instructions may change for future product release.
The Novatel Wireless MobiLink™ Communications Software Suite is a family of wireless
connectivity applications that connect mobile devices using wireless wide area networks (WWAN)
as well as WiFi and Ethernet in a single application to allow quick and easy access to email, the
Internet and corporate networks anytime, anywhere. With MobiLink and a wide area wireless
device, mobile users can stay productive and connected to customers and colleagues while out of
the office. MobiLink is optimally engineered to work with all of Novatel Wireless' Wireless
Modems for best in class 3G wireless broadband access solutions.
The MobiLink Communications Software Suite of applications contains a messaging Client that
manages 2 way SMS operations, an addressbook Client that manages contacts and phone
number, connection manager that manages the connectivity, and a customization utility to
manage and generate install customization settings. The following section will detail the features
of each application.
Purpose
This section provides high level user interface information regarding the appearance and
operation of the MobiLink™ Connection Manager application developed for Windows 2000, XP
Pro, and XP Home.
Applicable Documents
All software names and version numbers displayed should meet the requirements outlined in the
Consistency & Naming Conventions Requirements Document. This document also covers
the requirements for the desktop, including the necessary icons and the use of the Start menu.
For more details on meeting the requirements for Microsoft Windows certification, refer to the
document entitled, Application Specification for Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP
for Desktop Applications, which can be found on Microsoft’s web site.
GENERAL FEATURES
User Interface Functionality
The first design principle for MobiLink applications is that the basic information and controls
needed for day-to-day operations are quickly and easily accessible while less frequently used
functions are located deeper in the menu system. The user interface is designed to be intuitive to
use and will not require a large learning curve for the average user. The second design principle
Novatel Wireless, Proprietary & Confidential
Page50
for MobiLink is to be easily customizable in order to be able to meet the various requirements of a
global market.
Layout
The general layout of the main windows is designed to display important information for
connectivity while making it easy to navigate to other functions. The main function such as mobile
status and signal strength display is shown in the main window. The connection button is
prominently displayed and easily accessible. The main MobiLink display is shown below.
Figure 13: Main MobiLink Display
The Dashboard Area in the layout is designed as a launching area for other applications. The
default applications in the current design are internet browser, SMS Client, Addressbook, and
Help file. Other applications can be launched.
The Active Profile Selection is a list that allows for easy access to choose the active profile to use
for connection. For 3G, this list is a list of connection profiles while for WiFi, this is a list of access
points found. For WiFi, this list also shows the signal quality and whether the access point is
encrypted.
Lastly, there are the standard minimize and close buttons that are the main stay of any
application. The minimize button hides the application as a tray icon and the close button
gracefully closes the application.

1 Signal Strength Bar This is the quality of the signal for the selected
2 Connection Status This is a text indicating the connection status
3 Connect Duration This indicates the number of hours, minutes, and
seconds the current connection has been up
4 Bytes Out/Packets Out This indicates the number of bytes sent for the
current connection
Novatel Wireless, Proprietary & Confidential
Page54
5 Bytes In/Packet In This indicates the number of bytes received for the
current connection
6 Network Name For UMTS/HSDPA, this would show the network
name received from the AT+COPS command
7 Profile List This is the list of supported profiles that contains the
connection settings such as username and
password and QoS for 3G. This is a list of the 3G
profiles for the 3G networks and a list of WiFi
profiles for the WiFi network. The displayed profile is
the active profile.
8 Indicators The indicators are icons that show additional status
of the 3G wireless. Each indicator will be described
below.
9 Connection Type Selection
Bar This is a navigation bar that selects which
connection information is displayed in the main
window. As the connection is selected, the main
window will slide to show the right information. Each
of the connection icons for this navigation bar also
shows the signal strength of the respective
connection.
The connection navigation bar was added to support the universal connection management
functionality. By having a navigation bar, the user is presented with just the information that is
required for the connection of interest. The pictures below show the three views for each
connection type.
Figure 17: 3G Wireless View
Novatel Wireless, Proprietary & Confidential
Page55
With the 3G Wireless view, connection button can be used to connect to the chosen profile
displayed. The status icons for 3G will be displayed on the top right corner and when connected,
byte count and time displayed will be shown. The vertical bar next to the navigation bar indicates
which view is currently active. When the user clicks on the WiFi navigation button, the WiFi view
will be shown.
Figure 18: WiFi View
The WiFi view does not have a connection button since WiFi is a connectionless adaptor. The
view does show signal strength, packet count, and connection time as well as connection status.
Since MobiLink’s WiFi is developed using Windows zero configuration, MobiLink WiFi control can
coexist with Windows wireless network connection. The default hotspot is shown in the selection
list in the same place as the 3G profile list. The list of hotspots is dynamically generated based on
a WiFi network scan of the area. Users can chose to make another hotspot active by clicking on
the selection list shown below.

Email Interworking
A new feature added to this version of MobiLink is the ability for email interworking. What this
feature does is to allow an email message to be sent over an SMS message. If the user types in
an email address in the To filed, the application will automatically format the SMS message so
that the SMSC on the network side will forward it as an email.
The recipient of this email can simply reply to the message and the message will be forwarded
back to the wireless device.
Concatenated SMS
With the addition of email interworking, the ability to send an SMS that is longer than the limited
160 characters is very important. To address that issue, the SMS Client will allow the user to
enter a long message and automatically segment the message and send it as separate SMS with
a special tag to indicate the messages are segments of a long message.

Phoenix API Interface to PCI Express Mini Card
Overview
This is the Phoenix API Command Set Reference for the Novatel Wireless CDMA Modem
product. This document describes the modem API used by host applications running on Windows
2000, and Windows XP.
The SDK provides universal API support for both 1XEV-DO and HSDPA mini-cards. This
provides interfaces through the Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems. It includes
API support as well as sample code to provide for ease of application development.
Phoenix is the brains of the SDK. Phoenix maintains a single state machine that all Clients
communicate with. Anything and everything involving communication to the device takes places
through the Phoenix server. Implemented as a Document/View executable supporting
automation, the Phoenix server automatically keeps a count of how many Clients are attached to
it via COM interfacing. The server is initialized automatically once the first Client is instantiated
and shut down once the last Client instance is terminated. With the beauty of OLE Automation,
the Phoenix server can be utilized using many different programming languages, including C++,
MFC, JavaScript, VBScript, etc. Refer to Phoenix.chm for API documentation. If you want to
use Phoenix in Visual Studio, import the type library Phoenix.tlb and create a wrapper class for it.
Blaze ActiveX control helps Client applications to receive events fired by the Phoenix server.
This allows for simple 2-way communication, replacing redundant loop checking used in the past.
Refer to Blaze.chm for API documentation. If you want to use Blaze ActiveX control in Visual
Studio, add the NVTL Blaze control from the registered Components and Controls Gallery and
create a wrapper class for it.
Phoenix API is the communication engine between host applications and a Novatel Wireless
CDMA modem. It is a DLL library that provides an interface for user/host applications to
communicate commands to the modem for purposes of serial access, general diagnostic, NV
programming, SMS messaging, and general modem functions. It provides the hardware
abstraction that the host applications don’t need to involve itself with.
The following facts and conventions are applicable across the whole document unless specially
specified.
• All API calls are synchronous. The calling thread will be blocked until the function call
returns.
• HANDLE hCom is used in most Loader functions as the first argument. It will not be
repeated in the Parameters section for every function. The com port handle must be
obtained by calling function Open_Output_Handles( ). NULL is not a valid handle value.
The handle should be closed before applications quit.

AT Commands
Introduction
The purpose of this section is to provide advance design and integration information to assist in
the integration planning and evaluation of Novatel Wireless PCI Express Mini-cards. This section
is intended to specify supported AT Commands for the Novatel Wireless line of PCI Express Mini-
cards, and to provide the information necessary to integrate the module into an overall product
design.
AT Commands allow communications software to control and direct the modem. The term AT is
derived from the word ATtention, meaning to get the modem’s attention. AT Commands are
issued by an intelligent device to a modem to perform a specific function. For example, AT
Commands can be used to initiate a call, answer a call or to simply transmit data. The prefix AT
obtains synchronization, identifies the character parameters, and indicates that a command may
be in the following characters. AT Commands are not case sensitive; use upper or lower case
letters in the command syntax
The ETSI specification created a complete set of commands to interface with the terminal adapter
or modem as well as specifying certain commands from ITU 25. To make the AT Command
interface easier to understand and provide faster customer integration, a number of the standard
AT Commands have been implemented to substitute some of the more specialized ETSI
commands. All commands relevant to the control and operation of the modem have been
implemented.
NW PCI AT Command Set
Each of the following sections discusses an individual AT command and its five subsections listed
below:
Description: describes the command and defines any conditions required to use the
command
Syntax: lists the syntax the command requires
Parameters: lists any parameters and values available to the command
Response: lists and defines any responses the command may return
Example: (optional) provides examples of the command
A/

ATA
Description: ANSWER
This command sets the modem to answer the next call. The modem sends an
off-hook signal to the remote station. Any additional commands on the same
command line are ignored. The modem switches to data mode and after call is
released, returns to command mode.
This command can be stopped by receiving a character during
execution, except during some states of connection establishment such
as handshaking.
Syntax: ATA
Parameters: None
Response: If the connection is successful the modem will return the string:
CONNECT<text>
then switches to data mode. The <text> is only displayed if the
command ATX has been set to a value greater than 0.
When the modem releases the call and returns to command mode, it
returns the string:
OK
If no connection is made, the modem will return the string:
NO CARRIER
Example: ATA
ATD
Description: DIAL NUMBER
This command will instruct the modem to originate a call to a disabled number.
The modem attempts to set up an outgoing call.

Response: If there is no dial tone, the modem will return the string:
NO DIALTONE
where the command ATX has been set to 2 or 4.
If there is an error and it is related to the mobile equipment’s (ME)
functionality, the modem will return the string:
+CME ERROR: <error>
If the connection is busy, the modem will return the string:
BUSY
where the command ATX has been set to 3 or 4.
If the connection cannot be established, the modem will return the string:
NO CARRIER
If the connection is successful and is non-voice call, the modem switches
to data state and the modem will return the string:
CONNECT<text>
where <text> is only displayed if the command ATX has been set to a
value greater than 0.
If connection successful and is a voice call, the modem will return the
string:

modems.
AT+COPS
Description:
Set command forces an attempt to select and register the GSM network operator. <mode> is
used to select whether the selection is done automatically by the ME or is forced by this
command to operator <oper> (it shall be given in format <format>). If the selected operator is not
available, no other operator shall be selected (except <mode>=4). The selected operator name
format shall apply to further read commands (+COPS?) also. <mode>=2 forces an attempt to
deregister from the network. The selected mode affects to all further network registration (e.g.
after <mode>=2, ME shall be unregistered until <mode>=0 or 1 is selected). Refer subclause 9.2
for possible <err> values. This command should be abortable when registration/deregistration
attempt is made.
Read command returns the current mode and the currently selected operator. If no operator is
selected, <format> and <oper> are omitted.
Test command returns a list of quadruplets, each representing an operator present in the
network. Quadruplet consists of an integer indicating the availability of the operator <stat>, long
and short alphanumeric format of the name of the operator, and numeric format representation of
the operator. Any of the formats may be unavailable and should then be an empty field. The list of
operators shall be in order: home network, networks referenced in SIM, and other networks. It is
recommended (although optional) that after the operator list TA returns lists of supported
<mode>s and <format>s. These lists shall be delimited from the operator list by two commas.

AT$NWHLR
Description:
The HLR Lock feature, when enabled, allows service providers to limit a UE’s roaming area
(country and network specific) as well as prohibit unauthorized or stolen SIMs from operating
within their network.
The HLR Lock feature utilizes a portion of the SIM International Mobile Subscriber Identity
(IMSI) number to carry out the algorithm. The makeup of the IMSI number is composed of a
3 digit MCC value, a 2 (or 3) digit MNC value and a 9 digit MSIN value. The first three
leading digits of the MSIN form the HLR-value (2 digits) and a NDC identity (1 digit).
The MCC/MNC pair, NDC identity and HLR range(s) that are programmed within the UE are
secured by a service provider specified password.

Compliance Certification Process
The 1-2 months Average: The average approval time for a typical carrier approval is 1-2 months,
although some carriers can take up to 5 months to finish the approval.
Cost for each certification: To be fully CE/GCF certified for EU (or FCC/PTCRB for NA) can cost
as much as $400k (US). Because these certifications are not mutually exclusive, certification for
both EU and NA costs approximately $500k.
Drastic changes (e.g., new chipset, new antenna, major firmware revision, etc…) would probably
necessitate a large degree of regression testing or re-certification. However, other minor
changes would probably at most require regression testing of a small scope.
Carrier and regulatory certifications can be carried out in parallel. To what degree is basically a
resource issue.
EV-DO FCC Accreditation
EV-DO CDG Interoperability
Novatel Wireless, Proprietary & Confidential
Page211
EV-DO Verizon Certification Process
HDSPA FCC Accreditation
HDSPA FCC Accreditation takes approximately 4 weeks until an FCC grant is issued.
Notes:
• Hardware should be near final, any changes after a module pre-screen are handled as
either a Class I or Class II permissive change, depending on their scope.
• The cost for accreditation is approximately $25k (Including SAR and Emissions).
However, as SAR test requirements become more numerous, these costs may increase
significantly.
GCF Compliance Process
The EU740 product will be tested for compliance to GCF as per the applicable GCF test criterion
at the time of testing. Novatel Wireless is a current member of the GCF (Global Certification
Forum). GCF quarterly meetings are attended in order to keep appraised of new procedures,
policies and technical requirements associated with GCF terminal certification. Novatel is familiar
with GCF criterion having recently attained GCF certification for the U630.
GCF certification is very powerful. Because it provides for parametric as well as protocol and
field test plans, certification under this body can be highly leveraged to gain accreditation on
carrier networks. For North American, PTCRB provides similar coverage to GCF. As such,
results from either GCF or PTCRB can be leveraged to one another.
Novatel Wireless, Proprietary & Confidential
Page212
Typically 9 weeks until GCF Approval.
Notes:
• Provides a framework to have devices accepted by most carriers in Europe.
• Cost = $325k (If performed independent of PTCRB. If combined with PTCRB certification
as well, total cost for both is approximately $400k)
• There is a large amount of overlap with PTCRB (North American equivalent). Results
from PTCRB can be leveraged for GCF and vice versa.
• Unlike PTCRB, this voluntary. However, it is required by Vodafone.
• It includes RF performance, emissions, protocol and field performance test cases. It is a
kin to the CDG Stage 1, Stage 2, & Stage 3 recommendations for CDMA.
• Requires mandatory testing in at least 5 countries.
•
PTCRB Compliance Process
The EU730 product will be tested for compliance to PTCRB as per the applicable PTCRB test
criterion at the time of testing.
North America – PTCRB (PCS Type Certification Review Board)
Novatel Wireless is a current Member of the PTCRB (PCS Type Certification Review Board).
PTCRB quarterly meetings are attended in order to keep appraised of new policies, procedures
and technical requirements associated with GCF terminal certification. Novatel Wireless has
attained PTCRB approval with several product offerings.
Novatel Wireless, Proprietary & Confidential
Page213
Notes:
• North American equivalent of GCF.
• This a group comprised of both Operators and Manufacturers.
• The radiated emission testing is similar to the FCC requirements but not entirely identical.
• This is mandatory in North America to operate GSM devices in the PCS band. There are
approximately 1,200 test cases.
• Cost = $275k (If performed independent of GCF. If combined with GCF certification as
well, total cost for both is approximately $400k)
• The protocol testing on the Alpha build does not require final design lock-down.
However, it is important to test only those features which are frozen so that regression
testing is not required later on.
• Any changes (MMI, RF, Baseband, etc…), no matter how insignificant which occur after
certification, are to be reported to the PTCRB for review.
CE Mark Certification Process
The CE Mark Certification process takes approximately 7 weeks until CE Mark Compliance is
complete.
Notes:
• Module hardware should be final at module pre-screen. However, modifications are self
policed and are less restrictive than FCC permissive change policies.
• R&TTE governs the CE initiative.
• Costs (depending on features) = $35k to $80k
• Article Definition
• Article 3.1 (a) – Safety Testing (flammability, etc…)
• Article 3.1 (b) – EMC testing (unintentional radiators, etc.…)

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
In case of both EVDO and 1x signal availability does the Novatel S620 card and/or SDK
report both the signals? Or do they report only the best technology signal?
It reports only the technology that the device will be providing service on. For instance when both
1x and EVDO are available then it will report EVDO. When only 1x is available then it will report
1x.
Even if the card and/or SDK reports only the best technology signal (viz., EVDO), can a 1x
connection still be initiated using the SDK, if 1x is also available?
If you are talking about packet data then the answer is no. The device will provide service on the
best technology. However, with some setting changes a circuit switch call can be made on the 1x
system if the carrier allows it.
When the user is connected to the network over an EVDO signal (roaming or non-
roaming), and is switched to a 1x signal (roaming or non-roaming) (or vice versa), is the
network connection retained? Will the Novatel S620 SDK report the change in the signal or
connection status?
If the mobile IP is used (Sprint is MIP) then the answer is yes. If not it would depend on the
carrier’s network layout. As for between roaming partners it will also depend on network layout
but the answer is most likely no. BTW, Sprint doesn’t support roaming for data service. S620 will
report the change of technology and automatically switch signal reporting to the specific
technology that is in use.
When the user is connected to the network over a non-roaming signal and moves to a
roaming signal (or vice versa), is the network connection retained? Will the Novatel S620
SDK report the change in the roaming status?
Yes you may hand off, (hand down) from DO to 1xRTT and maintain the connection (although
you must be in dormant mode). You can not hand up from 1xRTT to EV-DO.
1xRTT hand down can occur when EVDO is in either active or dormant mode, there is no
limitation. 1xRTT to EVDO hand up on the other hand has to wait until 1xRTT is in dormant mode
before it can happen. Thus if you are continuously active on TCH in 1xRTT you will not hand up
to EVDO even when you are back in EVDO coverage.
Will the Novatel V620 SDK report the change in the signal or connection status?
Yes. SDK will report change of status.
When the user is connected to the network over a non-roaming signal, and moves to
roaming signal (or vice versa), is the network connection retained? Will the Novatel V620
SDK report the change in the roaming status?
Currently the device does NOT support roaming (per Sprint requirement).
