California-based Cavli Wireless has announced the CQ10 and CQ20 LTE Cat 1 and Cat 4 cellular IoT modules with 2G fallback, Yocto Linux based OS and SDK support for IoT enabled applications.

The modules adhere to 3GPP release ten and are purpose-built for IoT and M2M applications. Data transfer capabilities see the CQ20 (www.cavliwireless.com/c-series/cq20.html) reaching up to 150Mbit/s downlink and 50Mbit/s uplink, and the CQ10 (www.cavliwireless.com/c-series/cq10.html) up to 10Mbit/s downlink and 5Mbit/s uplink.

Available in LCC+LGA and mPCIe form factors, they provide flexibility for diverse IoT enabled integrations. An optional integrated eSIM, coupled with the Cavli Hubble device and connectivity management platform, simplifies global deployments.

Leveraging Qualcomm’s Gen8C Lite location suite engine, the modules’ in-built GNSS capabilities are suitable for precise tracking applications, such as asset tracking and vehicle telematics with support for GPS, Glonass, Galileo, QZSS and SBAS constellations.

SDK support is powered by the Yocto Linux OS running on Kernel 4.14.

The software ecosystem on the modules enables custom application development that can serve OEM use cases with greater efficacy, eliminating the need for an external MCU. This combination of high throughput, global operability and onboard processing makes the modules suitable for applications demanding compute speed, location accuracy and global deployments.

For Industry 4.0 applications, robust data speeds and in-built GNSS enable real-time equipment tracking, predictive maintenance and improved factory automation. These modules also support smart-city development through reliable global connectivity and bandwidth capacity, facilitating smart grids, transportation systems and public safety networks. In asset tracking, the modules leverage GNSS positioning, powered by Qualcomm’s location engine, along with LTE coverage to deliver accurate, real-time location data across wide geographical areas.

The Cavli Hubble Stack further enhances module functionality. The Cavli Hubble IoT connectivity and modem management platform (www.cavliwireless.com/cavlihubble.html) provides remote diagnostics, monitoring and debugging, eliminating the need for physical access and simplifying scalability. Cavli’s global telecom operator partnerships ensure connectivity with a focus on service quality and cost optimisation. This eliminates the need for physical intervention, simplifying the expansion of IoT offerings.

“Cavli’s CQ10 and CQ20 modules demonstrate a commitment to powerful yet versatile options for intelligent cellular IoT,” said John Mathew, CEO of Cavli Wireless. “They are characterised by their reliability, effective location tracking and the ability to provide uninterrupted connectivity worldwide. These features are the core aspects of the CQ10 and CQ20 modules, and serve to set apart both the product and Cavli Wireless in the IoT landscape.”
