Telit’s FN980, ME310G1-WW and ME910G1-WW modules have completed inter-operability testing for use on KDDI’s 5G and LTE-M networks.

The approvals highlight Telit’s ability in providing Japan’s device OEMs, systems designers and their customers with a broad portfolio of LPWA and 5G products optimised for use on KDDI’s networks.

Based on the 3GPP Release 15 standard, the FN980 is for bandwidth-intensive IoT applications, including HD surveillance video, digital signage and industrial IoT applications. The cards also enable device OEMs, systems designers and their customers to take immediate advantage of KDDI’s 5G network in sub-6GHz spectrum.

The ME310G1-WW and ME910G1-WW LTE-M modules are optimised for power consumption, enhanced coverage and cost. Compliant with 3GPP Release 14, both modules also are 5G-ready, providing flexibility and futureproofing.

Optimised in size, the ME310G1-WW is suitable for applications such as fitness trackers, medical wearables and industrial sensors. The ME910G1-WW, as part of the xE910 family, enables users to port their existing xE910-based designs quickly to take advantage of KDDI’s networks.

All the newly certified modules support Telit’s IoT AppZone, which simplifies product design with easy-to-use tools and APIs. AppZone also reduces costs and design complexity by embedding application code right in the module, eliminating the need for a microcontroller.

“With certification of the ME310G1-WW, ME910G1-WW and FN980 module, Telit has established itself as the go-to provider for device OEMs and systems designers that want to take full advantage of KDDI’s LTE-M and 5G networks,” said Osamu Sato, country director for Telit in Japan. “These approvals also highlight how we work closely with leading operators such as KDDI to ensure that our solutions perform exactly as expected.”
