1. Introduction
1.1. USING THIS GUIDE
This guide presents critical research and development issues affecting the design and development of products incorporating the
Motorola io200 800/900MHz iDEN Integrated Wireless Modem, used in North America, Asia, Africa and Europe.
The purpose of this document is to describe the technical details needed to integrate io200 Data Module into a host device. There are
several configurations of this product that provide flexibility in meeting full system integration requirements, as described in this
manual.
A product that incorporates the modem is referred to as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) host or simply
the host.
1.2. PURPOSE
Data terminal equipment (DTE) OEM teams are often pulled together quickly from other work groups. For this reason, OEM team
members often need advice about how to best sustain a concerted design and development effort. The purpose of this guide is to
assist your team to successfully produce a wireless product that integrates the Motorola IO200 wireless modem.
This guide strives to bridge the gap between the various engineering and business disciplines that make up OEM teams. Our
approach is to provide a practical disclosure of useful information that can offer a common understanding of the problems you may
encounter and examples of probable solutions.
We at Motorola want to make this guide as helpful as possible. Keep us informed of your comments and suggestions for
improvements. You can reach us by email at: TBD
1.3. INTENDED AUDIENCE
The intended audience of this manual are data terminal equipment (DTE) OEM integration team members. Teams historically
consist of representatives from the disciplines of hardware, software and RF engineering. These readers will probably find the
entire document useful, if not enlightening. Other readers include marketing, business, and program managers. These readers
might find the first chapter, which discusses the integrator’s task, to be sufficiently informative for their needs. The remaining
chapters go into more detail.
1.4. DISCLAIMER
This guide provides advice and guidelines to OEM teams. Responsibility regarding how the information is used lies entirely with
the OEM. Statements indicating support provided by, or offered by, Motorola are subject to change at any time.
