| 5 | This is a small break-out board for m.2 (NGFF) type cellular / WWAN modems. |
||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | It allows you to insert a m.2 modem from any vendor, and it will provide you with: |
||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | * miniUSB-B (3.0) socket for connection to a USB Host (like your PC/Laptop or Embedded System) |
||
| 10 | * 5V DC input for power supply (USB supply usually insufficient for a modem) |
||
| 11 | * all unused m.2 pins on a 2.54mm break-out header |
||
| 12 | * 2x SIM card slot for a 2FF-sized SIM, USIM or RUIM cards (dual-SIM) |
||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | Particularly the break-out header is useful to get access to various signals exported in a non-standard fashion by some modem models, such as digital audio PCM. |
