Product Description
The ME910C1 is the LTE UE Category M1/NB1 evolution of the Telit LE910 series of LTE modules. Specified in the 3GPP Release 13 (Rel 13), Cat M1/NB1 devices are specifically tailored for IoT applications, offering optimized power consumption and enhanced coverage. This model further enriches the widely deployed Telit xE910 family of 28 x 28 mm LGA modules.The ME910C1 has a maximum downlink and uplink data rate in the range of 300 kbps. This next generation of products supports the new features specified by 3GPP to boost IoT applications, such as Power Saving Mode (PSM) and extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX). These features allow the devices to wake up periodically to deliver small amounts of data to the network and go back to sleep, enabling prolonged battery operation.
A primary benefit this new LTE device offers is enhanced coverage with up to +15 dB/+20 dB in maximum coupling loss (MCL) compared to the other cellular technologies. LTE Cat M1/NB1 devices are optimized in cost, size and power consumption compared to higher UE categories. These advantages make the ME910C1 the perfect platform to enable quick implementation of LTE technology in IoT M2M in which low cost and low power are more relevant than high speed.
Telit offers th ME910C1 in different band configurations for the regional deployment and common variants for global coverage. The ME910C1 helps increase the addressable market for LTE technology to include a broad range of new applications and use cases best served with the lower maximum data rate, ultralow power, reduced complexity and cost. Example use cases include smart meters, industrial sensors, healthcare monitors, home automation, asset tracker and many more low-data-rate IoT devices. This module series supports dual-mode Cat M1/NB1 (NB-IoT) capabilities and 2G fallback. ME910C1 is highly recommended for new designs. Both new and updated models benefit from a significant extension in life cycle with LTE Cat M1/ NB1, particularly as a migration path for existing GPRS or CDMA devices.
