Abstract
A modular device includes a first printed circuit board and a wireless transceiver (e.g., a radio). Electrical connectors (e.g., pads) are located along multiple edges of the first printed circuit board. The electrical connectors are in locations that correspond to a land pattern on a second printed circuit board. Along one edge of the first printed circuit board, the electrical connectors also correspond to electrical connections in a socket. For certification testing, for example, the device can be plugged into a socket. For installation in a host device, the device can be soldered down to the second printed circuit board.
