Overview
The aim of this document is the description of some hardware solutions useful for developing
a product with the Telit LE920 module.
In this document all the basic functions of a mobile phone will be taken into account; for each
one of them a proper hardware solution will be suggested and eventually the wrong solutions
and common errors to be avoided will be evidenced. Obviously this document cannot
embrace the whole hardware solutions and products that may be designed. The wrong
solutions to be avoided must be considered as mandatory, while the suggested hardware
configurations must not be considered mandatory, instead the information given must be used
as a guide and a starting point for properly developing your product with the Telit LE920
module.
