9.1.4 Soldered-down (1216) pin-out
The RF Companion SD-1216 module has the same mechanical outline as the standard M.2 connectivity
type 1216-S3. The standard M.2 land pattern is modified to accommodate the proprietary the RF
companion module signals. Instead, it has an additional set of solder pads which don’t overlap with
the standard solder pads. This allows having a single motherboard design that can accommodate
