2 Product Overview
Ericsson’s C3607w is a high performance Mobile Broadband Module capable of providing wide area wireless data access at speeds up to 7.2 Mbps downlink and up to 2.0 Mbps uplink in a 192-lead LGA package. It offers both triple band WCDMA/HSPA and quad-band EDGE/GPRS/GSM mobile access to the internet or corporate networks worldwide with flexibility including “always online” capability.
C3607w uses USB as the main system interface for data and control communication. In addition, it is capable of providing a 26MHz system clock signal to be used by an external GPS receiver residing on the host platform.
The module is hardware prepared for voice functionality. Later on when voice is supported SPI will be used as main system interface. The voice data communication will be done through the PCM interface.
The hardware is also prepared to support HSUPA category 6, which can deliver uplink data rates up to 5.76 Mbps.
2.1 Key features and benefits
• The C3607w Mobile Broadband Module is a self-contained 192-pin LGA component with radio, associated baseband plus memory and power management biased from only one voltage.
• The module is a dual mode device which offers quad-band EDGE/GPRS/GSM and triple-band WCDMA/HSPA with handover between the different technologies.
• The module has receiver diversity, GRAKE2 (equalization and RX diversity simultaneously) which enhances the radio link performance.
• The module supports clock synchronization for an external GPS chip set.
• The device has outstanding low current consumption in various host states
and at different network connection usage.
• The C3607w is a true always connected device which supports wake on wireless.
• To ensure regulated radio performance and component life length the module has an in-built over temperature protection.

3 C3607w Communication
The C3607w Mobile Broadband Module keeps end-users up to date by giving them the best available mobile service wherever they are.
C3607w is a dual mode device, able to connect via WCDMA/HSPA and GSM/GPRS/EDGE. The handover between the two systems and network technologies are automatically managed by the C3607w allowing the user to remain connected seamlessly.
The C3607w comes with tri-band WCDMA/HSPA (Band I, II, and V) and quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) GSM/GPRS/EDGE support.
3.1 Network Technologies
3.1.1 UMTS
3G (third-generation) services combine high-speed radio access with IP-based (Internet Protocol) services. This not only offers the possibility for fast mobile connection to the World Wide Web, but also a totally new way to communicate, access information, conduct business, learn and be entertained.
Compared to 2G mobile networks, 3G significantly boosts network capacity, a much needed feature in densely populated areas and allows operators to support more users and offer them more sophisticated services.
3.1.1.1 WCDMA
The initial implementation of UMTS networks enables Internet or corporate network access at bidirectional data rates of up to 384 kbps.
3.1.1.2 HSPA
HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) is available in all most UMTS markets. With its HSDPA solution, C3607w is capable of downlink-speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps. In addition, with its antenna diversity, the C3607w has a fast and reliable downlink. C3607w uses HSUPA which enables uplink speeds of up to 2 Mbps. With HSPA, users can enjoy faster download and upload capability while network operators benefit from increased capacity.
3.1.2 GSM
GSM/GPRS coverage is available almost everywhere, and provides a secure fall back so that network connection is maintained.

3.1.2.1 GPRS
GPRS is an enhancement to GSM networks and provides packet data transmission. The connection setup is fast and, once connected, applications may send and receive data whenever required.
C3607w can achieve communication speeds through GPRS up to a theoretical maximum of 85.6 kbps downlink and 42.8kbps uplink.
3.1.2.2 EDGE
EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution) is an integral part of the GSM family of open mobile standards. EDGE improves GPRS by increasing data throughput by a factor of three. GPRS networks enhanced with EDGE are often referred to as E-GPRS (Enhanced GPRS) networks.
C3607w can achieve communication speeds up to a theoretical maximum of 247.4 kbps downlink and 123.7 kbps uplink; MCS-9). Typical end-user speeds are in the range of 120 kbps under average conditions, with burst speeds around 200 kbps in strong signal conditions.
3.2 Applications
3.2.1 SMS
C3607w can send and receive text messages.
3.2.2 GPS
The C3607w does not have an onboard GPS receiver, but is prepared to support an external GPS receiver chipset mounted on the host system. The C3607w generates signals for GPS system clock and RF PA blanking.
3.2.3 Browsing and internet access
C3607w is aimed for hosts running GNU/Linux. The first distribution supported is Moblin. The drivers stack will be included in the GNU/Linux kernel for easy integration.
