PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Chapter 1 – Product Overview

Overview

The MultiConnect®DragonflyTMNano (MTQN) embedded cellular modem is a small version of the MultiConnect
DragonflyTM(MTQ) embedded cellular modem. Both devices offer developers the functionality of an on-board
cellular radio all-in-one compact design. The DragonflyTMNano provides a practical solution to the market's
demand for a smaller, low-power modem.

The DragonflyTMNano functions similarly to the MultiConnect®DragonflyTMand maintains interoperability with
legacy systems that use a 40-pin connector and forward mounting hole.
