Evaluation board

There are 2 major types of evaluation kits available. The first is the UMTS&LTE EVB KIT JP, which is dedicated to implementation products. The second is the mini PCIe EVB KIT JP, which is dedicated to miniPCIe products. Each product includes a domestic-compliant antenna, connection cables, and a screwdriver. The image shows a CD-R, but currently the kit is provided on a USB flash drive. The evaluation can be started immediately by simply connecting the modules to the evaluation board. An example of a module to be evaluated is shown on the right side of picture.
