By adding a WiFi component on the half-size 3G PCIe minicard, only one PCIe Option’s half-size PCIe module is developed specifically for integration
Minicard slot is needed, hence lowering overall device cost. This single slot can in compact devices such as netbooks, tablet PCs, routers or security
be equipped with a standard WiFi module for the basic device configuration or cameras where space is limited but a standard connector-based
with the GTM671/679 combo module when both WiFi and 3G connectivity are integration is still preferred over an LGA component that needs to be
desired for the device. soldered on the base board.

for its customers to support certain features or operator requirements. Drivers are available for the most WWAN CM
popular operating systems. For some platforms such as Android™, a RIL (Radio Interface Layer) can be
provided. For other platforms Option can deliver a SDK or a customizable connection manager.
Optional feature packs are available, like: SDK and/or RIL
> “MyCloud”; cloud computing, delivering back-up, synchronisation and file sharing functionalities.
> uCAN® Control; a mobil data consumption and warning policy solution for end-users.

Hardware drivers
Supported operating systems:
> Windows® XP 32 bit > Android™ : RIL, audio HAL, GPS HAL
> Windows® Vista 32/64 bit > Google Chrome™
> Windows® 7 32/64 bit (Mobile Broadband API, > Windows CE/Mobile : RIL, GPS driver Firmware
Sensor and Location API) > MeeGo™
