A module aimed at manufacturers of devices for the Internet of Things. As wireless communication technologies become ubiquitous and reliable, many products have integrated an IoT module to enable data exchange between the device and the application hosted in the cloud or on an enterprise server. In addition to business applications, enterprises can use the connection to remotely monitor and manage connected devices.

A module that enables cellular connectivity for the device its integrated into. Cellular Modules come pre-certified with Industry, Regulatory and Mobile operator approvals making it easy for device makers to incorporate into their designs.

Cellular IoT modules enable devices to communicate with other devices and applications on the Internet via the cellular networks. At the heart of a cellular module is a cellular chipset and associated software. It also contains memory, a power supply connector, an antenna connector and other peripherals needed in a cellular RF design. It may be equipped with optional functional blocks such as an integrated microcontroller, GNSS transceiver and embedded SIM to simplify the overall product design and reduce component costs. Before a cellular module can be deployed and connected to a commercial network, it must be certified by industry, regulators and mobile operators. A fully certified module makes it easy for device manufacturers to incorporate cellular connectivity into their product designs without having to have much experience with cellular design.

A cellular module that supports Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular technology as defined by 3GPP. LTE is a 4G cellular technology and includes 4G LTE and its evolutions namely LTE Advanced and LTE Advanced Pro. These evolutions offer higher data speeds. LTE modules are suitable for applications that require high-speed or broadband connections over a large area in a country or across several continents. However, LTE also includes a low-bandwidth technology, LTE Cat-M. These LTE modules are often referred to as LPWA modules.
