Introducing the Cavli C17QS: Harnessing the power of Low Power Cat
1bis technology with integrated SDK
Cavli Wireless, one of the first truly 'IoT-ready' cellular module
manufacturers, proudly announces the launch of the new C17QS Cat
1bis cellular IoT module in the Türkiye market. This latest
addition to the renowned C-Series line leverages advanced LTE Cat
1bis technology and optional GNSS tracking to deliver seamless
global connectivity and tracking solutions. Designed to meet the
growing demand for affordable low-power LTE smart connectivity
solutions in the region, the C17QS sets a new standard for
efficiency and versatility in the industry.
The Cavli C17QS Cat 1bis cellular IoT module has
been engineered to perform the role of a spiritual successor of our
earlier Cat 1bis module, the C16QS. The C16QS was developed to
solve one of the long-standing problems within the IoT landscape,
merging the high speeds of LTE networks within low power hardware.
Capitalizing on advanced LTE Cat 1bis technology, C16QS enabled
OEMs to develop cost effective low power IoT solutions that could
leverage the higher bandwidths of LTE networks with ease and the
module has proven to be an industry benchmark, finding applications
across a variety of use cases. Cavli aims to further push the
boundaries of innovation with C17QS by engineering greater hardware
and software capabilities into such a small, power efficient and
versatile option for OEMs to incorporate into their future-proof
connectivity solutions. Visit this link to watch the full
module reveal video.
The Cavli C17QS Cat 1bis module is designed with
an ARM Cortex M3 processor operating at up to 306MHz clock speed,
running on the FreeRTOS platform. With an iSIM variant under
development, the module’s extensive interface options include UART
ports, USB 2.0, USIM, SWD, network status and power-on status
indicators, ADCs, I2S, I2C, SPI, and GPIO pins. The C17QS iterates
upon the earlier foundation laid by C16QS and offers upgraded
hardware that includes 2MB of RAM and increased ROM capacity up to
8MB. Combining these upgrades with all new comprehensive SDK
support ensures that OEM’s across the globe can build and scale
connected solutions with use-case specific coding. Features like
these are the key reason why C17QS is set to revolutionize Low
Power IoT and reduce the time-to-market for IoT OEMs.
Supporting a wide range of LTE bands, the C17QS
module is equipped for global deployment, providing peak download
speeds of up to 10Mbps and upload speeds of up to 5Mbps. The module
features a compact LGA form factor with dimensions of 26.5 x 22.5
mm and is integrated with a more capable GNSS chipset, enabling
support for multi-band (L1 and L5) GNSS constellations, including
GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, NavIC, BDS, QZSS, and SBAS. Designed to
operate in various temperature ranges, the C17QS module is suitable
for diverse environmental conditions and remote applications. Its
low power consumption and power-saving modes ensure prolonged
device lifecycles, making it ideal for both battery-powered and
externally powered use cases.
The Cavli C17QS Cat 1bis module is designed to
power a wide range of IoT applications across various sectors. In
agriculture, it enables remote monitoring and management of farming
operations, improving efficiency and productivity. In healthcare
and e-health, the module facilitates real-time patient monitoring
and advanced telemedicine solutions, ensuring better health
outcomes.
The C17QS offers a distinct advantage in
scenarios where power or space constraints necessitate a combined
host controller and connectivity chipset solution, surging ahead of
competitors. The module has hardware powerful enough to handle the
compute operations required in these applications, while
simultaneously providing LTE connectivity, placing itself as a
versatile and all-in-one solution to IoT OEMs.
Retail applications benefit from the C17QS
module’s robust connectivity for inventory management, smart
shelves, and enhanced customer experiences. For smart home
applications, the module provides reliable connectivity and
tracking for home automation systems, security devices, and energy
management solutions. Its small form factor and low power
consumption make it ideal for these space and power-constrained
environments, ensuring seamless and efficient operation.
