2. Overview
The aim of this document is the description of some hardware
solutions useful for developing a product with the Telit HE863
Family module.
In this document all the basic functions of a M2M device 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 HE863 Family module.
