2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The M.2 Card provides the customer, the means to evaluate the WE866Cx Wi-Fi module
capability, and an interface with the LE910Cx.
It is designed to interface the Telit LE910Cx module family on an IFBD with the Telit
Generic Evaluation Board (EVB) and thus forming a complete Development Kit of
LE910Cx.

Detailed Description
This section provides details about the M.2 card, its connections and specifications.
2.3.1.
M.2 Specification
The M.2, formerly known as the Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), is a specification
from 2013 for internally mounted computer expansion cards and associated connectors.
The Specification details the buses that can be exposed through the M.2 connector. The
buses are PCI Express 3.0, Serial ATA (SATA) 3.0, and USB 3.0, which is backward
compatible with USB 2.0. As a result, M.2 modules can integrate multiple functions,
including the following device classes: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, satellite navigation, near field
communication (NFC), digital radio, Wireless Gigabit Alliance (WiGig), wireless WAN
(WWAN), and solid-state drives (SSDs).
An M.2 module is installed into a mating connector provided by the host's circuit board,
and a single mounting screw secures the module into place. Components may be
mounted on either side of the module, with the actual module type limiting how thick the
components can be; the maximum allowable thickness of components is 1.5 mm per side.
Different host-side connectors are used for single and double-sided M.2 modules,
providing different amounts of space between the M.2 expansion card and the host's PCB.
The PCB of an M.2 module provides a 75-position edge connector. Depending on the type
of module, certain pin positions are removed to present one or more keying notches.

WE866Cx M.2 Card
The WE866Cx M.2 card follows the below M.2 specification:
•
SDIO based Socket 1
•
2230 size type
•
Key type E
This form-factor card specification is intended to support Wireless Connectivity devices
including combinations of Wi-Fi, BT, NFC, and/or GNSS.
The card includes a U.FL miniature RF connector for connecting a compatible Wi-Fi
antenna.

Safety Recommendations
Make sure the use of this product is allowed in your country and in the environment
required. The use of this product may be dangerous and has to be avoided in areas where:
•
•
it can interfere with other electronic devices, particularly in environments such as
hospitals, airports, aircrafts, etc.
there is a risk of explosion such as gasoline stations, oil refineries, etc. It is the
responsibility of the user to enforce the country regulation and the specific
environment regulation.
Do not disassemble the product; any mark of tampering will compromise the warranty
validity. We recommend following the instructions of the hardware user guides for
correct wiring of the product. The product has to be supplied with a stabilized voltage
source and the wiring has to be conformed to the security and fire prevention regulations.
The product has to be handled with care, avoiding any contact with the pins because
electrostatic discharges may damage the product itself. Same cautions have to be taken
for the SIM, checking carefully the instruction for its use. Do not insert or remove the SIM
when the product is in power saving mode.
The system integrator is responsible for the functioning of the final product. Therefore,
the external components of the module, as well as any project or installation issue, have
to be handled with care. Any interference may cause the risk of disturbing the GSM
network or external devices or having an impact on the security system. Should there be
any doubt, please refer to the technical documentation and the regulations in force. Every
module has to be equipped with a proper antenna with specific characteristics. The
antenna has to be installed carefully in order to avoid any interference with other
electronic devices and has to guarantee a minimum distance from the body (20 cm). In
case this requirement cannot be satisfied, the system integrator has to assess the final
product against the SAR regulation.
The equipment is intended to be installed in a restricted area location.
The equipment must be supplied by an external specific limited power source in
compliance with the standard EN 62368-1:2014.
The European Community provides some Directives for the electronic equipment
introduced on the market. All of the relevant information is available on the European
Community website:
