Doc #: PD001743A01 Rev. B.0 Section B – Detailed Specifications 8.0 General 8.1 Description The radio module consists of 54-pin interface, microcontroller, modem chipset, transmitter, receiver, RF front end for transmit and receive, Tx/Rx switch and antenna port as shown below. Host sends commands and bidirectional data to the microcontroller (MCU) through the UART interface on the 54-pin interface.

Doc #: PD001743A01 Rev. B.0 12.3 Site Survey (terminals only) A site survey application shall be developed for RA1202 that will perform in a similar manner to the site survey application available on 7530 G2 and 8525/8530 G2 terminals. This is used by system installers to determine the best location of base stations for new NarrowBand sites. It also indicates the coverage level. 12.
