SPY-RIG

The SPY-RIG is a peripheral slot card for CompactPCI® Serial systems. The board serves as a carrier for up to eight WWAN modules, e.g. 3G or 4G (LTE) modems, and also forthcoming technologies beyond 4G. Four M.2 sockets are provided to accommodate M.2 3042 style modules, related to front panel Mini SIM card slots. Another four WWAN modules are directly soldered to the PCB, combined w. on-board Micro SIM card sockets. The module antenna I/Os are strapped to an on-board 8:1 R/F combiner circuit, which has its sum port wired to the SMA type front panel antenna connector, for minimum external antenna cabling effort. The M.2 sockets support USB2 and USB3 based WWAN 3G/4G (LTE) and future 3042 size modules. The soldered 3G modems are USB2 controlled. The SPY-RIG is well suited especially for high throughput applications which require WWAN bandwidth aggregation.
