C12 is an embedded wireless device platform that uses a 90 PAD Land Grid Array (LGA) form factor to allow for a low
cost solution to mount highly integrated chipsets or OEM/ODM MODULES
MODULESMODULES
MODULES onto Intermec products. Galileo uses
solder-down re-flow mounting only to a host MLB – there are no screws, digital or RF connectors. Test jigs are required to
operate Galileo outside of a product.

The RC12 is an Intermec designed radio platform incorporating the MuRata WLAN/Bluetooth radio module
LBEH1Z9PFC-TEMP.
Please see reference section for data sheet. This device is a dual function IEEE 802.11 bgn
transceiver, a Bluetooth 2.1 compliant radio transceiver. The module contains independent transceivers for each radio
technology; IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth. This variants system is capable of operating at the 2.4 GHz for the IEEE 802.11
transceiver, or 2.4 GHz band for the Bluetooth transceiver.
The MuRata MODULE is based on the following 802.11 and Bluetooth chipsets from Texas Instruments;
WL1273 Single-Chip MAC baseband processor and RF transceiver supporting 802.11 b/g/n standard

The RC12 and subsequent variants will be manufactured by Contract manufacturer. Intermec is responsible for ensuring
proper manufacturing test of the current and future designs.
2.1 IEEE802.11 transceiver description
The IEEE 802.11 transceiver is based on the Texas Instruments WL1273 single-chip IEEE 802.11bgn MAC, Baseband, and
Direct Conversion transceiver. This system functions to provide wireless LAN connectivity supporting data rates from 1
Mbps to 54 Mbps and MCS0 to MCS7 in the 2.4-GHz band. The Triquint
TQP6M9002
provides RF frontend capabilities
for the 2.4 GHz. This variant only allows the 2.4 GHz transceiver to be in operation.
The Texas Instruments WL1273 employs a 4-Wire SDIO system bus interface to the HOST.
The PLATFORM uses a single antenna port for the 2.4 GHz of the IEEE transceivers.
The system provides a typical power output in the 2.4 GHz band of 17.5 dBm.
The 2.4 GHz transceiver supports data rates of 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbps using CCK/DSSS and 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54
Mbps using OFDM as per IEEE802.11-2007. Data rates MCS0 to MCS7 conform to amendment IEEE802.11n-2009.
