Telit Cinterion has received approval for its ME310M1-W1 module by two major US MNOs, enabling IoT companies and their customers to begin using the module immediately, both in the US and worldwide.
With support of a range of technologies, including licensed and unlicensed spectrum, as well as future satellite connectivity in a single package, the ALT1350 enables faster development, lower power, smaller size and new use cases. A variety of capabilities make the ME310M1 well suited for smart utility meters, asset tracking, industrial sensors, precision agriculture and other IoT applications whose decade-plus service life exceeds what traditional designs can provide:
- Best-in-class power consumption: This extends the service life of battery powered IoT devices enabling smaller devices with longer battery expectations and eliminates the expense of periodically replacing batteries
- Flexible embedded connectivity options: Available with an embedded SIM (eSIM) in the module package and hardware-ready integrated SIM (iSIM) it allows for streamlined manufacturing, fast product deployments, as well as enterprise-grade security based on integrated Secure Element (iSE). Telit Cinterion’s NExT global connectivity plan and remote SIM provisioning services allow for connectivity enablement and subscription management over the full project lifecycle
- Short range radio support to enable easy integration with mesh networks and seamless operation across multiple air interface technologies: This flexibility provides added deployment options, both at the time of installation and in the future
- Support for multiple location technologies, including Wi-Fi scan and GNSS: This maximises flexibility when choosing technologies for indoor and outdoor positioning applications such as tracking high-value medical equipment around a hospital campus
- Roadmap for compliance with 3GPP Release 15/ 16/ 17 features such as IoT data communication over non-terrestrial networks (NTN): This provides users with future-proof flexibility to fallback to satellite technology when cellular coverage is not available
- Value added services and application hosting capabilities: This lowers total cost of ownership (TCO) and eases design and operation over the lifecycle
