It supports data services through HSPA, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS, and Data message service. New versions of the PC application software, drivers and module firmware can be installed by the end user. Product Features F3307 is flexible and automatically chooses the best data service available in a particular location, whether it is HSPA, UMTS, EDGE or GPRS. This is particularly useful for users roaming on several different networks. As a dual-band UMTS device, F3307 can operate globally. It automatically chooses between UMTS band II and V (alternatively UMTS band I and VIII). It is also a quad-
band GSM device, and can operate on any GSM system in the world. Therefore, users can use wireless communication from their notebooks on all five continents, in over 205 countries. With the F3307 Mobile Broadband Module installed in a notebook computer, it is always available for data transfer. F3307 does not support voice calls. Connection settings are automatically created based on the SIM card. The user simply clicks the Connect button to make an Internet connection. The system is preconfigured. Parameters suitable for many networks are included and can be configured if needed to facilitate manual configuration where required. A status screen and an icon in the notification area enable users to check status information such as signal strength, perform common functions and access help. 2/1424-LZT 108 9714/01 Uen Rev A 2009-06-17 Ericsson AB 2009 Ericsson Confidential 7 (38) 3 Technical Description and User Guide F3307 F3307 has wide notebook compatibility. The PCI Express Mini Card is designed to use the integrated GSM/UMTS antennas in notebook computers. F3307 supports the Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Linux operating systems. Since the module is optimized to work with the notebook, it is better integrated and provides a superior end-user experience compared to generically produced cards that need to work across multiple computing platforms. Consequently, the built-in module has better radio performance and less battery power consumption than an external card. Application developers may utilize F3307 via the high level API. Communication The F3307 Mobile Broadband Module keeps end-users up to date by giving them the best available mobile service wherever they are. F3307 is a dual mode device, able to connect via UMTS/HSDPA and GSM/GPRS/EDGE. The user will remain connected without having to think about what system is being used the handoff between two systems and network technologies is automatically managed by F3307. F3307 comes in two hardware versions:
supporting both dual-band UMTS 2100MHz and 900MHz (Band I and VIII) and quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz supporting both dual-band UMTS 1900MHz and 850MHz (Band II, and V) and quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz. 3.1 3.1.1 Network Technologies UMTS 3G (third-generation) services combine high-speed radio access with IP-based
(Internet Protocol) services. This not only means fast mobile connection to the World Wide Web, but also a totally new way to communicate, access information, conduct business, learn and be entertained. Compared to 2G mobile networks, 3G significantly boosts network capacity, a much needed feature in densely populated areas. This means that operators are able to support more users and offer them more sophisticated services. 2/1424-LZT 108 9714/01 Uen Rev A 2009-06-17 Ericsson AB 2009 Ericsson Confidential 8 (38) Technical Description and User Guide F3307 3.1.1.1 HSPA HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) is available in all developed UMTS markets. With its HSDPA solution, F3307 is capable of downlink-speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps. This, together with its antenna diversity, gives F3307 a fast and reliable downlink. F3307 uses HSUPA which enables uplink speeds of up to 2 Mbps. With HSPA, users can enjoy faster download and upload capability while network operators benefit from increased capacity. 3.1.1.2 WCDMA The initial implementation of UMTS networks enables Internet or corporate network access at bidirectional data rates of up to 384 kbps. 3.1.2 GSM Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) coverage is available almost everywhere, and provides a secure fall back so that network connection is maintained. 3.1.2.1 GPRS General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) is an enhancement to GSM networks and provides packet data transmission. The connection setup is fast and, once connected, applications may send and receive data whenever required. F3307 can achieve communication speeds through GPRS up to a theoretical maximum of 85.6 kbps downlink and 42.8kbps uplink. 3.1.2.2 EDGE Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) is an integral part of the GSM family of open mobile standards. EDGE improves GPRS by increasing data throughput by a factor of three. GPRS networks enhanced with EDGE are often referred to as Enhanced GPRS (E-GPRS) networks. F3307 can achieve communication speeds up to a theoretical maximum of 247.4 kbps downlink and 123.7 kbps uplink; MCS-9). Typical end-user speeds are in the range of 120 kbps under average conditions, with burst speeds around 200 kbps in strong signal conditions. 2/1424-LZT 108 9714/01 Uen Rev A 2009-06-17 Ericsson AB 2009 Ericsson Confidential 9 (38) Technical Description and User Guide F3307 3.2 3.2.1 Core Features Browsing and internet access F3307 provides a standard Internet connection using a Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) Wireless WAN adaptor. It is possible to use the Internet or intranet with a generic browser. A common e-mail solution is to use an Internet connection and Transport Layer Security (TLS) to browse corporate e-mail via a web interface. F3307 works with most popular corporate Virtual Private Networking (VPN) solutions. 3.2.2 SMS F3307 can send and receive text messages with the convenience of a full keyboard. Facilities such as copy and paste make it fast and easy to send information via text messages from a computer. The standard maximum length of a text message is 160 characters, (dependent on text coding), but since concatenation is supported, messages larger than 160 characters can be sent and received. 2/1424-LZT 108 9714/01 Uen Rev A 2009-06-17 Ericsson AB 2009 Ericsson Confidential 10 (38) 4 4.1 Technical Description and User Guide F3307 Hardware Overview General F3307 is a full-size, type F2 mini card, built according to the PCI express mini card specifications, see chapter 6, Related Information and references.

The network operator's and notebook manufacturer's logos can be customized in the application. Connection duration, connection mode, volume of data and an indication of the signal strength are provided in the Wireless Manager window while connection is active. The figures provide an approximate checkpoint of the data volumes. Please note that the information shown here is not guaranteed to match the mobile operators bill. 5.2.2 Settings Settings are presented in logical groups. Connection settings are automatically set up each time a new SIM card is inserted in to F3307. The Wireless Manager contains a list of many operator settings. The home operator on the SIM is matched with this list and a default connection profile is automatically created. The settings may be viewed and edited. Alternative settings can be manually entered or selected from a database covering many mobile operators. 5.2.2.1 Connection Configuration When a new SIM card is detected by F3307, the Wireless Manager identifies the home network and automatically creates a connection profile from a pre-loaded list of operator settings. This becomes the default profile and is available immediately. Therefore, the user does not need to do anything, in most cases, except click the Connect button to establish a connection. 2/1424-LZT 108 9714/01 Uen Rev A 2009-06-17 Ericsson AB 2009 Ericsson Confidential 17 (38) If the operator settings are not available or a personalized (company-specific) APN is in use, the information may be entered manually. Any number of profiles may be defined (including Access Point Name, Username and Password). Quality of Service parameters is set to network default. Technical Description and User Guide F3307 5.2.2.2 Connection Operation No user interaction is required to set the speed of the connection. It will be automatically set by the network depending on available network resources and the users subscription. F3307 will automatically use the UMTS network by preference and automatically switch over to GPRS/EDGE where the operator has an integrated UMTS/GSM network if UMTS coverage is not available. When UMTS coverage returns, the connection will return to the UMTS network. In some networks, data flow must be paused. F3307 therefore needs to return to an idle state before a return to UMTS can take place. This is network-specific. Similarly, if HSPA is available in the UMTS network, the higher download speeds will be automatically available. In some networks, it is not possible to detect HSPA until a connection is made. 5.2.2.3 IP Number Allocation F3307 enables you to work within your corporate and/or ISP-assigned IP numbering scheme. It supports dynamic IP allocation. Dynamic IP allocation is normally used by both ISPs and corporate networks. 5.2.3 Help The Wireless Manager has a built in help function. The help window is started by clicking on help in the main window, or by pressing function key F1. 2/1424-LZT 108 9714/01 Uen Rev A 2009-06-17 Ericsson AB 2009 Ericsson Confidential 18 (38) Technical Description and User Guide F3307 SMS Utility Text messages can be sent and received with the SMS Utility.
