Telit Simplifies IoT Deployment with Single Form Factor LPWAN, WLAN, and WPAN IoT Modules
Telit,
a global enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced that
it has expanded its popular xE866
family of high performing, low power modules to meet the needs of an
even broader range of IoT applications. The additions mark the
industry's only offering of a module family in a single LGA form factor
to offer multiple Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) connectivity options as
well as Wireless Personal Area Networking (PAN) short range wireless
technologies and Wireless Wide Local Area network (WLAN).
"Telit is the preferred supplier for multi-national customers
implementing IoT solutions worldwide because of the many ways we partner
with them to devise enduring IoT-based business solutions - we call it Telit
IoT Know How. An element of that is Telit's design-once-use-anywhere
philosophy that, along with other customer-value centric directives,
guides our modules development," said Ronen Ben-Hamou, Telit Executive
Vice President of Products and Solutions. "By extending this product
family to support more new and rising IoT standards like LoRa, NBIoT,
Wi-Fi, in combination with our Telit IoT Platforms and IoT Connectivity,
we are establishing the xE866 as the go-to data communication module for
applications in the most varied environments."
IoT solutions, many of which are battery-dependent, are deployed in
various environments that demand different technologies, such as smart
buildings and cities, tracking and telematics, healthcare, and remote
monitoring including smart meters in the utilities sector. The xE866
modules enable companies to easily add any number of popular low power
wireless connection to their IoT innovation, without the need to modify
their designs to accommodate each new standard-all while extending the
battery life of devices. With this approach, an application designed for
use in an environment that is best suited for the licensed spectrum 3GPP
standard Narrow Band IoT (NB-IoT) could easily be deployed in another
environment better suited for unlicensed band proprietary LoRaWANTM,
with little to no impact.
"Smart metering, for example, often requires a single meter control
board and application software that can easily be used to support
utilities needing mix of coverage types," Ben-Hamou continued. "By
offering every trending connectivity technology, we are ensuring that we
can meet our customers' diverse challenges, while helping them keep
operating, development and future upgrade costs down."
The ultra-compact family already well adopted in the market with
long-standing GE866 2G/GPRS and UE866 3G/UMTS series, now includes LTE (News - Alert)
Cat 1, NB-IoT, LoRa in combination with BLE and Wi-Fi models -all with a
common AT command set and additional unique features. The xE866 family
form factor follows a nested scalability concept with models from
15x19mm to 15X25mm respecting pin out compatibility.
Telit xE866 Single Form Factor LPWAN, WLAN, and WPAN Modules:
-
LE866:
Smallest LTE Cat 1 module with multiple regional variants for
worldwide deployment.
-
ME866:
Natural evolution to LTE Cat M1 in the Telit miniaturized xE866 family.
-
NE866:
NB-IoT module with dual band LTE FDD B8 and B20 and an optional
on-board Embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC).
-
RE866:
Innovative combination of BLE 5, NFC and LoRa enables remote
management/configuration via PC/mobile.
-
WE866:
Wi-Fi IEEE (News - Alert) 802.11 | b/g/n companion module to Telit 3G to LTE modules
offers the fastest path to adding 2.4 GHz wireless capability to
product.
The Q4
2016 LPWA Market Data report from industry analyst firm ABI Research (News - Alert)
reports that Cellular LPWA network technologies will have exponential
connection growth from 2018 onward as telecommunications companies
upgrade their networks in 2017. As networks and technology evolve,
future-proof designs transition from desirable to essential for
businesses that need scalable solutions for global, mass production. The
agnostic flexibility the xE866 modules offer, combined with reliability,
industry-leading performance, and quality testing practices that go
beyond the industry standard, is what separates Telit quality and IoT
know-how from other offerings in the market.
