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

6 Host Software Overview

6.1 Drivers

The C3607w Mobile Broadband Module is initially aimed for hosts running Moblin
based GNU/Linux OS. The only supported API provided to host applications for
accessing module services is AT commandsError! Reference source not found..

The USB drivers are open source and part of the Linux kernel. The drivers are thus
included as preloaded modules in Moblin 2 kernel delivered by Intel.

The module firmware provides a WDM interface for device management and an
ACM interface for control and data traffic. Upon start-up the drivers export TTY ports
to the /dev directory. Two ACM and one WDM port is created. The IP traffic is routed
to the network interface provided in the kernel, which belongs to the USB CDC
class. The interface is based on the USBnet architecture.

9 Environmental Declaration

Ericsson has a responsibility to the community to provide products which are safe to
use and which have minimal impact upon the environment. Ericsson's Design for
Environment program is designed to meet legislative and market requirements in the
countries where Ericsson sell C3607w.

Ericsson's Design for Environment program lists chemical substances that are
banned or restricted for use in Ericsson’s products and manufacturing operations.
Ericsson works with its suppliers to eliminate such substances in procured material.

Restrictions on the use of substances in Ericsson products are divided into two
categories; banned substances and restricted substances.

Banned substances are prohibited for use in specified applications in Ericsson
products in accordance with relevant legislation.

Restricted substances may only be used where no technically and/or economically
acceptable alternatives exist and will be replaced as soon as possible.

The ban or restriction does not apply where the presence of a substance is
unintentional and in the form very small concentrations derived from natural
impurities.

Note: Legislation regulating the use of banned substances includes exemptions
allowing limited use where no technically acceptable alternatives exist. Ericsson
makes use of some of these exemptions in order to maintain product quality.
