LTE Cat. 1 module

10 October 2018 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Gemalto is expanding its industrial IoT connectivity platform with what it claims is the industry’s first IoT module to provide global connectivity on 12 LTE bands, plus 3G and 2G cellular coverage, all from a single device. This serves to simplify logistics and distribution and lower the cost of global IoT deployments.

The new Gemalto Cinterion PLS62-W IoT module delivers highly efficient LTE Cat. 1 connectivity on all 12 LTE bands while providing seamless fallback to multiband 3G and 2G networks if 4G is not available. This allows device manufacturers and integrators to develop one application that can connect anywhere in the world, even when solutions move between different regions and cellular network standards.

A powerful Java embedded system included in the module adds processing power to IoT solutions. It makes application design easier and faster by sharing memory, a large library of existing open source code and recognised software building blocks. In addition, it simplifies lifecycle management and streamlines integration with back-end IT systems.

An advanced power management system ensures reliability, and provides optimised sleep mode to preserve power and extend battery life. This is critical for remote industrial applications.
