LTE Cat. M1 wireless module

22 February 2017 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Gemalto is launching a leading-edge LTE Cat. M1 wireless module for IoT solutions. The new Cinterion solution delivers LTE for machine-type-communication (MTC) and improved power savings that enables battery life of 10+ years in certain cases.

The new module is ideal for use where solutions are not dependent on speed, but rather require network longevity and improved indoor coverage, as in the case of asset trackers, healthcare solutions, smart meters and industrial sensors.

The low-power, wide-area (LPWA) module offers extended coverage, including improved in-building and in-ground penetration. The solution operates on the highly efficient LTE spectrum and is capable of supporting more than 10 frequency bands from a single hardware device. This eliminates the need for multiple variants, providing simplified global deployment and a fast time to market. In the future, the new module will be able to run LTE NB-IoT (narrowband IoT) protocols on the same hardware, giving customers a future-proof path to the latest network standards.

Sharing the same footprint as existing Cinterion products, the LTE Cat. M1 solution enables easy migration from 2G and 3G devices.
