RU700A 1.0

4. Hardware Specification

The RU700A 1.0 utilizes Puloli’s software stack, running on a hardware platform based on modules from

Pycom and Sequans. Please refer to the documentation from Pycom for additional hardware details

([1], [2], [3]).

The figure below shows the base unit of the RU700A 1.0:

Figure 1. RU700A 1.0 base unit

In order to power the device, the included USB AC adapter must be connected to the corresponding

micro-USB port on the RU700A 1.0 base unit. At all times when powered on, one of the specified

antenna options must be connected to the SMA jack in order to avoid damage to the unit.

The standard indoor antenna attaches directly to the base unit, as shown in the figure below.

Figure 2. Indoor antenna configuration

Optionally, a fixed-mount, directional Yagi antenna may be employed in place of the standard indoor

antenna, by connecting through an attenuator and an SMA-male to N-male coaxial patch cable (see

below). Use of the attenuator is required when using the Yagi antenna. The antenna should be

mounted outdoors and pointed towards the nearest network transmitter to improve signal coverage.
