LTE Standard Module Series EC200T Series Hardware Design NOTES 1. 2. 1) Within operating temperature range, the module is 3GPP compliant. Within extended temperature range, the module remains the ability to establish and maintain a voice, SMS, data transmission, etc. There is no unrecoverable malfunction. There are also no effects on radio spectrum and no harm to radio network. Only one or more parameters like Pout might reduce in their value and exceed the specified tolerances.

LTE Standard Module Series EC200T Series Hardware Design 7 Storage, Manufacturing and Packaging 7.1. Storage The module is provided with vacuum-sealed packaging. MSL of the module is rated as 3. The storage requirements are shown below. 1. Recommended Storage Condition: The temperature should be 23 ±5 °C and the relative humidity should be 35%–60%. 2. The storage life (in vacuum-sealed packaging) is 12 months in Recommended Storage Condition. 3.
LTE Standard Module Series EC200T Series Hardware Design NOTES 1. 1) This floor life is only applicable when the environment conforms to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033. 2. To avoid blistering, layer separation and other soldering issues, it is forbidden to expose the modules to the air for a long time. If the temperature and moisture do not conform to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 or the relative moisture is over 60%, It is recommended to start the solder reflow process within 24 hours after the package is removed.
