This document describes key hardware aspects of the Summit WB40N wireless bridge module. This document is
intended to assist device manufacturers and related parties with the integration of this module into their host devices.
Data in this document are drawn from a number of sources including data sheets for the Broadcom BCM4329 and
Atmel AT91SAM9G20.
Because the SDC-WB40NBT is currently in pre-production, this document is preliminary and the information in this
document is subject to change. Please contact Summit or visit the Summit website at www.summitdata.com to obtain

Product Description
This device is an SDC-WB40NBT Wireless Bridge Module, a wireless
communications subsystem that may be integrated into a variety of host devices via
a number of available electronic and logical interfaces. The SDC-WB40NBT
provides complete enterprise-class Wi-Fi connectivity with an integrated TCP/IP
stack, full support for IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n air standards and a fully integrated
security supplicant providing 802.11i/WPA2 Enterprise authentication and data
encryption.
The SDC-WB40NBT has a wide variety of interfaces including Fast Ethernet, serial
UART, USB, SPI and I2C. The wireless bridge may be configured, monitored and
managed via a Command Line Interface over an available dedicated console port,
via a web interface over a wireless or Ethernet interface, or via a remote SDK
interface over wireless or Ethernet.
The SDC-WB40NBT incorporates the Summit SDC-SSD40NBT radio module and
provides all the Wi-Fi capabilities of that device. The product features an ARM9
processor running at 396 MHz, 32 MB of SDRAM memory, and 64 MB of NAND
flash storage. Several GPIO lines are available for data acquisition and similar
applications. The platform runs an embedded Linux operating system based on the
2.6 kernel. A Software Developer’s Kit with Application Programming Interfaces and
software tools are available for the development of custom software applications on the device.
The SDC-WB40NBT measures 47mm long by 37 mm wide by 3 mm tall. The width can be reduced to 30 mm by
removing a breakout section that is provided for configuration and test purposes. The wireless bridge physically
interfaces to the host device via a 120 pin board to board connector that has a variety of mating options. The SDCWB40NBT may be secured to the host device via available grounded mounting holes. The SDC-WB40NBT operates
at temperatures between -TBD and + TDB degrees Celsius.
Contingent on Compliance results… SDC-WB40NBT is a fully integrated module: It has its own RF shielding and
does not require shielding provided by the host device into which it is installed in order to maintain compliance with
applicable regulatory standards. As such, the device may be tested in a standalone configuration via an extender card.
The SDC-WB40NBTprovides two unique U.FL type antenna connectors to support dual band transmit and receive
diversity. Supported host device antenna types include dipole and monopole antennas.
Regulatory operational requirements are included with this document and may be incorporated into the operating
manual of any device into which the SDC-WB40NBT is installed. The SDC-WB40NBT is designed for installation into

The WB40NBT board provides the following: 245046120600829+ CONN RECEPT 120 POS SMD 0.5MM
There are four Kyocera Elco options for mating connectors, each option providing for four different stack heights.
Depending on the board to board space required the main board part number is:
The WB40N provides four grounded mounting holes located on the corners of the module. One or more of these
mounting holes may be used to secure the module to the host device with conductive screws with bushings that
correspond to the selected stack height.
The following is a list of RF layout design guidelines and recommendation when installing a Summit module into your
device.
Do not run antenna cables directly above or directly below the module.
If there are other radios or transmitters in the device (such as a Bluetooth radio), place the devices as far apart
from each other as possible.
Ensure that there is the maximum allowable spacing separating the antenna connectors on the Summit radio from
the antenna. In addition, do not place antennas directly above or directly below the radio.
Summit recommends the use of a double shielded cable for the connection between the radio and the antenna
elements.
Regulatory
Certified Antennas
The SDC-WB40NBT will be tested to the regulatory standards defined in the “Certifications” section of the
Specifications table above. Summit plans to conduct these tests with the following antennas:
Cisco AIR-ANT 4941 (click for datasheet)
Form Factor: Whip
Type: Dipole
Maximum 2.4 GHz Gain: 2.2 dBi
Tested and Certified 2.4 GHz Transmit Power: TBD
Radiall Larson Dipole (click for datasheet)
Form Factor: Whip
Type: Dipole
Maximum 2.4 GHz Gain: 1.6 dBi (not used during testing)
Maximum 5 GHz Gain: 5 dBi
Tested and Certified 5 GHz Transmit Power: TBD
HUBER+SUHNER (click for datasheet)
Form Factor: Whip
Type: Monopole
Maximum 2.4 GHz Gain:3dBi
Maximum 5 GHz Gain:6.5dBi
Tested and Certified 2.4 GHz Transmit Power: TBD
Tested and Certified 5 GHz Transmit Power: TBD
In the event that the two conditions above cannot be met (for example certain
device configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC
authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID cannot be used on the
final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for reevaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC
authorization.
Note: If the formal test reports for the SDC-WB40NBT show that transmit power was decreased to less than 100%
on 2.4 GHz edge channels. Summit will make these transmit power reductions in firmware for the edge
channels. Integrators do not need to reduce transmit power on a channel-by-channel basis to comply with
band edge regulations.
Antennas of differing types and higher gains may be integrated as well. If necessary, with the Summit Manufacturing
Utility software utility, OEMs may reduce the transmit power of the SDC-WB40NBT to account for higher antenna gain.
In some cases, OEMs may be able to reduce certification efforts by using antennas that are of like type and equal or
lesser gain to the above listed antennas.
Documentation Requirements
In order to ensure regulatory compliance, when integrating the SDC-WB40NBT into a host device, it is necessary to
meet the documentation requirements set forth by the applicable regulatory agencies. The following sections (FCC,
Industry Canada, and European Union) outline the information that may be included in the user’s guide and external
labels for the host devices into which the SDC-WB40NBT is integrated.
