Two major US mobile network operators (MNOs) have approved Telit Cinterion’s ME310M1-W1 module.
The certifications enable IoT specialists and their customers to begin using the ME310M1-W1, based on the Sony ALT1350 chipset, immediately, not only in the USA but also worldwide, thanks to its comprehensive global band support.
With support of multiple technologies, including licensed and unlicensed spectrum, as well as future satellite connectivity in a single package, the ALT1350 (altair.sony-semicon.com/products/alt1350) enables faster development, lower power, smaller size and new use cases.
“The certification of the ME310M1-W1 module by two major US mobile network operators marks a significant advancement in the IoT landscape,” said Dima Feldman, vice president of Sony Semiconductor (sony-semicon.co.il) in Israel. “Our partnership with Telit Cinterion leverages the ground-breaking ALT1350 chipset to deliver low-power, high integration that enables a new era of connected devices. With support for multiple technologies, the ME310M1-W1 empowers developers and enterprises to create innovative IoT applications that are efficient, versatile and future-ready.”
Various capabilities make the ME310M1 (www.telit.com/devices/me310m1-series) suitable for smart utility meters, asset tracking, industrial sensors, precision agriculture and other IoT applications whose decade-plus service life exceeds what traditional designs can provide.
Its best-in-class power consumption extends the service life of battery powered IoT devices enabling smaller devices with longer battery expectations and eliminates the expense of periodically replacing batteries.
Available with an embedded SIM (eSIM) in the module package and hardware-ready integrated SIM (iSIM), it allows for streamlined manufacturing, fast product deployments and enterprise-grade security based on integrated secure element (iSE). Telit’s Next global connectivity plan and remote SIM provisioning services (www.telit.com/telit-next-network) allow for connectivity enablement and subscription management over the full project lifecycle.
Short range radio support enables easy integration with mesh networks and seamless operation across multiple air interface technologies. This flexibility provides added deployment options, both at the time of installation and in the future.
There is support for multiple location technologies, including wifi scan and GNSS.This increases flexibility when choosing technologies for indoor and outdoor positioning applications such as tracking high-value medical equipment around a hospital campus.
A roadmap for compliance with 3GPP Release 15, 16 and 17 features, such as IoT data communication over non-terrestrial networks (NTN), provides users with future-proof flexibility to fallback to satellite technology when cellular coverage is not available.
Value added services and application hosting capabilities lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and ease design and operation over the lifecycle.
“The global approval of the ME310M1-W1 module reinforces Telit Cinterion’s leading position in delivering advanced IoT technologies that meet our customers’ long-term needs,” said Marco Stracuzzi, vice president at Telit Cinterion (www.telit.com). “With its ultra-efficient operation and flexible connectivity options, the ME310M1 supports a diverse range of global IoT applications, giving our customers confidence that their LPWA IoT will seamlessly adapt to emerging connectivity standards, including 3GPP Release 17 NTN protocol and sub-1GHz licensed and unlicensed spectrum.”
