4. MODEL DESCRIPTION

4.1. GENERAL

This chapter provides an overview of Io200 integrated wireless modem.

For model number, and specifications, refer to “Specifications”, on page 0.

4.2. INTRODUCTION

Io200 is an iDEN modem providing circuit/packet data connectivity, interconnect and dispatch calls. The modem operates in iDEN

800 & 900 MHz networks using the iDEN Packet-switched and Circuit-switched Data protocols. The modem is of a standard

interface consisting of a main board to board connector, an RF antenna connector and a SIM flex connector. The modem has the

smallest footprint possible for ease of embedding into multiple 3rd party manufacturers' products including those with space

limitations such as Remote Terminal Units, special purpose terminals, PDA’s, hand-held terminals, etc. The SIM card is remoted

from the physical layout of the board to enable a smaller module footprint as well as provide flexibility to the integrator to locate the

SIM card for ease of product-maintenance.

This product operates on iDEN 800 and 900 MHz bands as specified below.

IDEN/WiDEN 800:

Tx: 806-825 MHz Rx: 851-870 MHz

IDEN/WiDEN 900:

Tx: 896-902 MHz Rx: 935-941 MHz

WiDEN capability is dependent on the availability of the network and associated radio firmware. The modem has WiDEN-enabled

hardware that requires an upgraded software to support WiDEN functionality. The availability date of WiDEN within this module

will be determined by the WiDEN network implementation schedule.

The iDEN IO200 modem supports the following modulation types:

− Quad-16QAM

− Quad-QPSK (packet data mode only)

− Quad-64QAM (packet data mode only)
