Rev 1 Dec.10 Proprietary and Confidential - Specifications subject to change

8.9 Mechanical integration

Attention should be paid to:
• Antenna cable integration (bending, length, position, etc)
• Leads of the AirPrime SL808X Embedded Module to be soldered to the
ground plane

8.10 Operating system upgrade

The AirPrime SL808X Embedded Module Operating System is stored in flash
memory and can be easily upgraded.
Important: In order to follow regular changes in the GPRS standard and to offer a state-of-
the-art operating system, Sierra Wireless recommends that the application designed
around an embedded module (or embedded module based product) should allow easy
operating system upgrades on the embedded module via the recommended firmware
download protocol (see [6] AirCard/AirPrime USB Driver Developer's Guide). Therefore,
the application shall either allow a direct access to the embedded module serial link
through an external connector or implement any mechanism allowing the embedded
module operating system to be downloaded.
