Introduction to Installing Pluggable Interface Modules
This section describes the equipment and the procedures for successfully installing the Cisco Pluggable
Interface Modules (PIM).
The highlights of the LTE PIM are:
• All cellular interfaces are supported through a PIM
• We recommend that you use Industrial Temp micro SIMs, 3FF size, that are rated from -40C to +105C
• To ensure a reliable contact to the SIM socket, gold-plated SIM cards must be used.
The following images show examples of a pluggable module. In this case, the LTE pluggable module.
