Telit Cinterion has launched AI-powered 5G modules and data cards featuring the Qualcomm X85/X82 5G Modem-RF. The FE990D series comes in an LGA module, while the FN990D series is available in an M.2 form factor.

The FE990D and FN990D are both powered by the Qualcomm X85/82 5G Modem-RF, which features the Qualcomm AI Stack and offers access to AI models via the Qualcomm AI Hub. With Qualcomm AI Hub, customers can convert trained models, such as those from PyTorch and ONNX, to inference on the device. They can profile these models on the device to obtain detailed metrics and verify numerical correctness by running on-device inference.

Both the FE990D and FN990D support 3GPP Release 18, improving performance, reliability, and longevity across enterprise and industrial applications.

Key use cases include:

• Fixed Wireless Access (FWA): High-speed broadband for indoor and outdoor environments
• Enterprise & industrial networking: Reliable connectivity for routers and gateways
• Professional video broadcasting & surveillance: Seamless 4K/8K streaming
• Customisable connectivity: Optimised with NExT data plans for tailored solutions
• NB-IoT NTN: Satellite-based communication for remote and underserved areas

“The launch of the FE990D and FN990D by Telit Cinterion represents a significant milestone in our long-standing and robust collaboration in which we’ve worked together to revolutionise 5G and IoT solutions,” said Gautam Sheoran, VP & GM, Wireless Broadband & Communications, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “We are proud that the Qualcomm X82 and X85 5G Modem-RF solutions for 5G Advanced are the driving force behind these AI-powered 5G Advanced modules and data cards, enabling high speeds, low latency, high reliability, network elasticity, security, and scalability to enhance the user experience.”

“For over two decades, Qualcomm Technologies and Telit Cinterion collaborated to bring groundbreaking technologies to market,” said Marco Contento, VP of Product Management, Mobile Broadband, Telit Cinterion. “With the FE990D and FN990D, we continue that legacy by delivering AI-powered, NB-IoT NTN-enabled, and Release 18-ready solutions that maximise performance, reliability, and long-term viability for OEMs, system integrators, and their customers.”
