It also seems like an extension of the Carrier Board Concept, minus the
STM32f, and added HUB IC.


That said, shouldn't the MAX232 be a MAX3232 for 3.3v - 5.5v, or does your
client intend to use "True" +/- 10v RS232? (Although, iirc, the MAX3232
would function almost the same, only more compatibility with other
interfaces?)

On the run, but I have some recommendations for the 3G/GSM/GPRS stuff, when
I get back.
