Hardware Integration Guide – SDC-MSD30AG
Scope
This document describes key hardware aspects of the Summit MSD30AG 802.11a/b/g SDIO (Secure
Digital Input/Output) Radio Module. This document is intended to assist device manufacturers and related
parties with the integration of this radio into their host devices. Data in this document are drawn from a
number of sources and includes information found in the Atheros AR6002 data sheet issued in April of
2008.
The SDC-MSDAG is currently in pre-production and as such, this document is preliminary in nature. The
information in this document is subject to change. Please contact Summit or visit the Summit website at
www.summitdatacom.com
The device is labeled with all applicable regulatory information in a manner that’s compliant with all
regulatory standards. Regulatory operational requirements are included with this document and are to be
incorporated into the operating manual of any device into which the SDC-MSD30AG installed. The SDC-
MSD30AG is designed for installation into mobile devices such as vehicle mount data terminals which
typically operate at distances greater than 20 cm from the human body and portable devices such as
handheld data terminals which typically operate at distances less than 20 cm from the human body. See
“Documentation Requirements
to obtain the most recent version of this document.
