Recommended form factor for embedded high volume applications. Small size makes it perfect for size critical M2M applications like mobile PDA's. Since modules are soldered on PCB it is mechanically very durable and better heat dissipation capability than B2B or miniPCIe modules, but replacing or upgrading is difficult. However, maufacturers like Huawei has simplified upgrading pin-to-pin compatible strategy within their products.

LGA form factor is especially good for industrial grade M2M applications like vehicle telematics, tracking, security, industrial router etc. 

Huawei and Cinterion LGA modules available from EWS.

B2B it's not standardized interface therefore each manufacturer use different B2B interface. B2B modules are easy to replace or upgrade. B2B interface is mehcanically more reliable than miniPCIe but not as good as LGA.

Widely used different kind of M2M application such as medical equipment, gateway routers, ruggedized mobile pc's.

Standardized form factor modules are easily upgraded or replaced with other module. MiniPCIe form factor also able to variability between technologies without redesign. Also modules are easy to test with application.

MiniPCIe modules enables easy and quick cellular connectivity for any industrial PC-based application.

Huawei, Cinterion and Sierra Wireless miniPCIe modules available from EWS.
