LONDON, June 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Telit, a
global enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced the
ME310G1 and ME910G1 modules, designed for mass-scale LTE-M and
NB-IoT deployments that feature hundreds of thousands or millions
of devices. Based on the new Qualcomm® 9205 LTE
modem and featuring optional 2G fallback, the modules also provide
a future-proof foundation for IoT deployments that span legacy
networks, 4G and 5G. For more information, visit

The ME310G1 and ME910G1 are the first 3GPP Release 14
additions to the Telit portfolio and the first members of Telit's
new series based on the Qualcomm 9205 LTE IoT Modem, which was
announced in late 2018. The highly compact chipset enables Telit to
meet booming global demand for ultra-small modules for applications
such as wearable medical devices, fitness trackers and industrial
sensors.
The new modules are ideal for battery-powered applications via
improved features such as Power Saving Mode (PSM) and extended
Discontinuous Reception (eDRX), which periodically wakes up the
device to transmit only the smallest amounts of data necessary
before returning to sleep mode. Both modules also ensure reliable
indoor connections, with a maximum coupling loss of up to
+15dB/+20dB for superior in-building penetration compared to
earlier LTE standards.
"With the new ME310G1 and ME910G1, Telit once again enables IoT
developers, providers and their customers to take advantage of the
latest and greatest technologies—in this case the new
Qualcomm 9205 LTE IoT modem and 3GPP Release 14,
supporting Cat M1 and NB2" said Manish Watwani, chief
marketing and product officer, Telit. "The ME310G1 is extremely
optimized in size, and both the ME310G1 and ME910G1 are highly
optimized for affordability, power efficiency, performance, and
future-proofing, making them the ideal foundation for mass-scale
IoT deployments that need to remain in service for a decade or
longer."
"Qualcomm Technologies provides the cutting-edge connectivity
and compute technologies that enable a massive volume and range of
connected devices," said Jeffery
Torrance, vice president, business development, Qualcomm
Technologies, Inc. "We are proud to work with Telit as they
continue to offer exciting new products that drive the Internet of
Things forward and lay the foundation for the connected 5G
world."
The multi-band ME310G1 and ME910G1 are available in
versions with 2G fallback for use in areas where LTE-M/NB-IoT
service is yet to be deployed. These versions also support GSM
voice and will support VoLTE for applications that require the
ability to make phone calls.
The ME910G1 is the latest member of Telit's best-selling xE910
and family. The ME910G1 is also a drop-in replacement in existing
devices based on the family's modules for 2G, 3G and the various
categories of LTE. With Telit's design-once-use-anywhere
philosophy, developers can cut costs and development time by simply
designing for the xE910 LGA common form factor, giving them the
freedom to deploy technologies best suited for the application's
environment.
The ME310G1 LTE-only variant is less than
200 mm2 and variant with 2G fallback is less than
300mm2 and they enable enterprises to deploy new
small footprint designs across many application areas including
asset tracking, health-care monitoring, smart metering, portable
devices, industrial sensors, home automation, and others that
benefit from low-power and low-data rate capabilities. The xE310
family's flexible perimeter footprint includes pin-to-pin
compatible 2G and 4G modules, enabling integrators to design a
single PCB layout and deploy a combination of technologies.
ME310G1 and ME910G1 samples are now available. Mass production
begins in late 2019 and Q1 2020, depending on the product
version.
