1 Introduction
The EDGE Daughter Card product is a custom product, developed for the host equipment
customer.
The EDGE Daughter Card is a total solution designed as an add-in option for integrators
of the host equipment. The Daughter Card comprises of several component parts:
• EDGE wireless modem, which is the wireless enabling circuitry integrated on to the
Daughter Card PCB together with its mechanical RF shielding
• RF connector, which provides physical connectivity between the Daughter Card and
the antenna which is integrated in to the notebook mechanical housing
• Voltage regulation circuitry, which converts raw unregulated power from the host
battery to the core regulated voltage to the EDGE wireless components
• System connector, which provided the data, control, power and status interface
between the host and the wireless modem
• SIM connector, a combined connector and retention device for the users Subscriber
Identity Module (SIM) card

1.1 Target Users
The EDGE Daughter Card solution is specifically for the host equipment.
1.2 Prerequisites
Integration of the EDGE Daughter Card will be performed at facilities under the host
equipment customer’s management. All necessary integration instruction, driver software
and user documentation will be provided. No special pre-requisite knowledge is
necessary.
1.3 Notation
This document describes a custom solution for the host equipment. The Daughter Card
product is defined through a cooperative partnership between the host equipment
customer and Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications (SEMC).
EDGE (Enhanced Data rate for GSM Evolution) is the wireless-enabling technology.
The EDGE Daughter Card is a PCB assembly with the components described on the
previous page integrated on to the board. The complete assembly is reffered in this
document as the the host equipment DC (DC=Daughter Card ).

2 EDGE Wireless Modem
2.1 EDGE Wireless Modem in a Communication System
Figure 2-1 illustrates the main blocks of a wireless communication system using the
EDGE Daughter Card embedded in the host equipment device. It also shows the
communication principles of the system. The definitions in the figure, as used elsewhere
in this manual, are in accordance with the recommendations of GSM 07.07.
• The MS (mobile station) represents the EDGE Daughter Card modem plus SIM card.
• The modem excluding SIM card, is known as the ME (mobile equipment).
• The TE (terminal equipment) is a micro-controller and is a part of the application.

In accordance with the recommendations of ITU-T (International Telecommunication
Union - Telecommunications Standardisation Sector) V.24, the TE communicates with the
MS over a serial interface. In this case this is the Universal Serial Bus (USB).
The functions of the EDGE modem follow the recommendations provided by ETSI
(European Telecommunications Standards Institute) and ITU-T.
ETSI specifies a set of AT commands for controlling the GSM/E-GSM element of the
modem; these commands are supplemented by Sony Ericsson specific commands.
Figure 2-2 illustrates the interface between the Daughter Card and the the host equipment
application. Each interface signal is described in Section 3.

2.2 Functional Block Diagram
A function representation of the EDGE duaghter card is included in the figure below.
The EDGE modem performs a set of telecom services (TS) according to GSM standard
phase 2+, ETSI and ITU-T. The functions of the modem are implemented by issuing AT
commands over a serial interface.
2.3.1 Mobile Station Characteristics
The EDGE modem can be configured for single, dual, triple and quad band GSM
functionality. The quad band characteristics of the EDGE modem are shown in the
following table.
