Change description
Change type	Hardware change
Detailed description	{{{name}}} device cellular modem for standard order codes will be gradually replaced from EC200A-EU to ALA440-1E1. The current {{{name}}} hardware version (existing product codes) will remain available for ordering until further notice, after which a transition period will follow during which both hardware versions will be manufactured and supplied. Once this transition is completed, only the new hardware version {{{name}}} {{{order_code_changes}}} will be manufactured and shipped.
Change reasons	Using an in-house assembled LTE module to improve control over supply chain.

Change impact
Risk assessment	Physical design remains unchanged. Ordering code changes require clients to review their current codes. Devices with the new modem support only firmware version RutOS {{{min_fw}}} or higher. Custom firmware built on previous SDK versions is not supported. Due to the removal of WCDMA B5, clients relying on 3G connectivity must validate new {{{name}}} samples. Datasheets and certifications will need updating accordingly.
Suggested implementation plan	Information included in this PCN will help adapt to the upcoming changes. For more detailed information, please contact your sales representative.
