co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.
As long as 2 conditions above are met, further
transmitter test will not be required. However, the
OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their
end-product for any additional compliance
requirements required with this module installed
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these
conditions can not be met (for example certain
laptop configurations or co-location with another
transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no
longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be
used on the final product. In these circumstances,
the OEM integrator will be responsible for
re-evaluating the end product (including the
transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to
provide information to the end user regarding how
to install or remove this RF module in the user’s
manual of the end product which integrates this
module. The end user manual shall include all
required regulatory information/warning as show
in this manual.

End Product Labeling
This transmitter module is authorized only for use
in device where the antenna may be installed such
that 20 cm may be maintained between the
antenna and users. The final end product must be
labeled in a visible area with the following:
“Contains FCC ID: P27-TPM10”. The grantee's FCC

Interconnection with Cat-M1
−
TPM10 module receives and processes signals sent from Cat-M1 networks,
and then sends commands or data to terminals for performing the
operation and maintenance (O&M).
−
The module receives data and commands from terminals, transferring
those data and commands to Cat-M1 networks, and then delivers them to
application servers (ASs).
Interconnection with terminals
−
TPM10 module reads and uploads terminal data to the Cat-M1 networks.

1.1. Block Circuit Diagram
TPM10 module is based on the SQN3330 Cat-M1 baseband and developed for 3GPP E-UTRA
and Wireless LTE Cat-M1 UE specification. The image below shows the module block
diagram:

Cat-M1 Module
1.2. Main Module Components
The TPM10 includes the following components.
A. SQN3330
This module includes SQN3330 Cat-1 baseband, a complete dual band RF front end, memory
and required circuitry to meet 3GPP E-UTRA (Long Term Evolution - LTE, Release 13 set of
specifications) and Wireless LTE Cat-M1 UE specifications.
SQN3330 is a single-chip LTE Cat M1 solution, which is designed specifically for narrowband
IoT applications, including sensors, wearables, and other low data, low power M2M and IoT
devices.
B. RF
The RF matching circuit.
C. Power system
The main power supply is “VBAT1“ and its range is 3.1~4.5V while the “VSIM” power supply
(3.0V) is for external SIM circuit.
D. Clock in system
TPM10 is using 32KHz clock in the module system.

1.3. LTE Low Power Modes
This module will automatically enter in low-power mode. It can be woken from low power
mode by the following external sources:
SIM_DETECT input signal to cope with SIM card insertion into a SIM card connector with
built-in hardware detection. The default configuration to wake-up the module is a
low-to-high transition.
The RTS0 input signal whenever data traffic is initiated by the host connected to the
module UART0 with hardware flow control; The default configuration to wake-up the
module is a high-to-low transition.
Two dedicated input signal WAKE0 and WAKE1; The default configuration to wake-up the
module is on a high-to-low transition. This can be modified by software. As example, these
signals can be used to detect an alarm from an external IC such as a sensor. Software can
disable the wake-up functionality on these signals.
A subset of GPIO input signals: GPIO2, GPIO3, GPIO25, GPIO27, GPIO42; they are not
configured by default as wake-up source but software can configure them for future use.
