Telit has announced the LN920, a compact M.2 (NGFF) data card in LTE Cats 6 and 12 versions, with support for all bands between 600MHz and 3.7GHz.

Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon X12+ LTE modem, the LN920 is for mobile computing, enterprise routers and IoT devices that need download speeds of 300 to 600Mbit/s, high-precision GNSS location, WCDMA (3G) fallback and the ability to be sold worldwide.

The card supports all cellular bands between 600MHz and 3.7GHz, including CBRS (band 48) and first responder (band 14), making it suitable for public and private LTE applications worldwide. This broad-spectrum support, along with certification by major regulators and tier-one operators in the USA, Canada, Europe, Japan and Australia, can enable rapid development of global SKU devices.

“The Snapdragon X12+ LTE modem is the ideal foundation for all of the mobile computing and IoT devices that will leverage the new Telit LN920 data card,” said Gautam Sheoran, senior director at Qualcomm Technologies. “The LN920 is the latest example of how Qualcomm and Telit work closely to anticipate and then provide the features and capabilities that consumers, businesses, first responders and other end users need.”

The LN920 is available in two versions: LTE Cat 12 (LN920A12-WW) for download speeds of 600Mbit/s; and LTE Cat 6 (LN920A6-WW) for 300Mbit/s downlinks. Both versions include WCDMA fallback, on-board GNSS receiver, industrial-grade operating temperature durability (-40 to +85˚C) and support for standard 3GPP and Telit custom AT commands.

It supports security features suitable for enterprise applications including secure boot and secure environment SE Linux with kernel 5.4 security updates.

“With support for every band between 600MHz and 3.7GHz, and certification by regulators and operators around the world, the Telit LN920 LTE data card is the ideal choice for OEMs that want to get their new mobile computing and IoT devices to market quickly and globally,” said Manish Watwani, chief marketing and product officer for Telit. “Those capabilities highlight Telit’s longstanding commitment to providing solutions that vendors and systems designers can leverage to slash development costs and lead time, giving them a competitive and financial edge.”

Marketing samples are available now, with commercial availability towards the end of the year.
