Gemalto is launching the industry’s first LTE Category 1 (Cat 1) wireless module to revolutionize highly efficient 4G LTE connectivity. Designed for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and industrial Internet of Things (IoT) applications, the new Cinterion M2M module meets the need of power-optimized performance and single-mode LTE at speeds of up to 10Mbit/s download and 5Mbit/s uplink.
This makes it an ideal solution for IoT applications such as metering, tracking and tracing, fleet management and mHealth that require the longevity and reliability of LTE in the decades ahead as 2G and 3G networks phase out.
The Cinterion ELS31 is the first in a series of M2M-optimized LTE products from Gemalto. The solution delivers a long lifespan, significant bandwidth and power efficiencies and a feature set specific to the needs of industrial IoT solutions such as extended operating temperatures from -40°C to 85°C.
“With M2M connections expected to reach one billion by 2020, the new Gemalto Cinterion Cat 1 module paves the way for massive expansion of the IoT marketplace enabling smart, efficient and cost effective use of evolving 4G networks,” said Axel Hansmann, VP portfolio and strategy M2M at Gemalto.
