AirPrime EM7590 Declaration of European Union RoHS Compliant Product

AirPrime EM7590 RED (Radio Equipment Directive) Compliance Statement

This is the Sierra Wireless RC76xx Release 9.0 Customer Release Notes download.

Contains methods that can be used to install pre-built image on RC76xx modules.

This page describes in detail the components included with the Firmware Release, how to build your own custom device image based on Release 16.3 components and how to download it on your product.

From a UE (user equipment, so a handset/module) perspective there are a number of parameters that are critical to its operation. This video explains what these numbers are, where they come from and how they are used. It is applicable to all UE's on the market.

In embedded designs CMUX is a popular mechanism to use where an external PPP dial-up connection is used rather than the onboard IP stack. This allows the application firmware to have the connection up while still performing other operations on the unit such as querying network status, etc. This video walks through the tools that can be used on a Linux system to start CMUX, and its operation.

The CF3 concept introduced by Sierra Wireless, and its companion product the snap-in socket, are a significant step forward in enabling the user to test multiple types of units on a single board. The snap-in socket, when handled correctly, is a robust and flexible tool to enable this but it does need to be handled properly with units being inserted and removed correctly. Otherwise it can result in fatal damage to the lid, socket, and potentially the unit. This video walks through this process to make sure the correct procedure is applied.

When using the HL78 module, for network or application problems it may be necessary to be view the internal operation of the unit. To do this logging from its debug port is required. This video shows how to carry out this logging, resulting in a file that can be sent back to Sierra Wireless for analysis.

Several of the Qualcomm based modules that Sierra Wireless produce have the ability to store multiple firmware and carrier (i.e. Vodafone, Verizon, Docomo, etc.) configuration files. This video shows how to manage and switch between these firmware and carrier configuration files.

Within mobile networks there are different ways of being attached to a 3GPP PLMN (public land mobile network). This video explains the different types of attach statuses and how they can affect and influence data connections you are using.

In some applications, the ability to know the location of the unit without powering up a GPS is useful. Using the method shown in this video, an application can perform a geolocation operation through the use of a pure cell ID. This is demonstrated using the WP7607, which is a 2G/3G/4G module. However, any module can be used.
