2. GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Overview

The aim of this document is to present possible and recommended hardware solutions

useful for developing a product with the Telit LM960 Mini PCIe module.

LM960 is Telit’s platform for Mini PCIe module for applications, such as M2M applications

and industrial IoT device platforms, based on the following technologies:

 LTE / WCDMA networks for data communication

 Designed for industrial grade quality

In its most basic use case, LM960 can be applied as a wireless communication front-end

for mobile products, offering mobile communication features to an external host CPU

through its rich interfaces.

LM960 can further support customer software applications and security features. LM960

provides a software application development environment with sufficient system resources

for creating rich on-board applications. Thanks to a dedicated application processor and

embedded security resources, product developers and manufacturers can create products

that guarantee fraud prevention and tamper evidence without extra effort for additional

security precautions.

LM960 is available in hardware variants as listed in Applicability Table

The designated RF band sets per each variant are detailed in Section 2.2, Product

Variants and Frequency Bands.

Product Variants and Frequency Bands

The operating frequencies in LTE & WCDMA modes conform to the 3GPP specifications.
