Reference Design versus Platform Design

MXC300-30.1

reference design functionality is a subset of the

entire MXC300-30 platform functionality
Freescale selected certain typical 3G features in order to provide a
main-stream reference design
Other functionality is available, but not implemented in the reference
design

Implementation of other functionality possible through joint discussion on

feature requirements and support needed
