Telit Cinterion, an IoT solutions provider, has announced that LG U+ has certified its NE310L2 series of LTE Cat NB2 modules for use on its network. These modules boast superior power efficiency and an ultra-compact design, making them ideal for low-bandwidth, cost-sensitive applications that demand extended battery life and enhanced coverage.
The NE310L2 series is the first low-power wide area (LPWA) NB-IoT module based on Sony’s Altair ALT1255 chipset to gain approval from LG U+. The NE310L2-W1 module, with its ultra-compact 13.1×14.3 mm footprint, is perfectly suited for space-limited IoT devices such as smart meters, medical and fitness wearables, home automation systems, and asset trackers. Key features of the module include:
- Power Saving Mode (PSM) and extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX) to ensure top-tier power efficiency for battery-operated devices
- 23 dBm output power (Power Class 3) to enhance uplink coverage reliability and performance
- Pin-to-pin compatibility with Telit Cinterion’s acclaimed xE310 family, allowing integrators to design a single PCB layout and deploy a mix of 2G and 4G technologies
- An extended temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C, enabling reliable performance in extreme applications such as automated metering infrastructure (AMI), smart agriculture, and industrial sensors
“Certification by LG U+ means IoT specialists, systems integrators and device OEMs serving the Korea market can take advantage of the Telit Cinterion NE310L2 and the Sony’s Altair ALT1255 chipset,” said Steven Kim, Sr. Sales Director at Telit Cinterion. “The NE310L2 deftly balances performance, flexibility, power efficiency, size and durability, making it the ideal choice for a wide variety of IoT applications, ranging from wearables to utility meters to industrial sensors.”
