Telit NE910C1-E1 LTE Cat-NB1 Module

Telit NE910C1 is the LTE UE Category NB1 evolution of the Telit LE910 Series of LTE modules. Specified in the approved Release 13 of the 3GPP standard, Cat 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.

Telit NE910C1 delivers maximum downlink and uplink data rates of 250kbps. This next generation of products supports the new features specified by 3GPP to boost IoT applications. The modules support power saving mode and extended discontinuous reception (eDRX), which together allow the module to wake up periodically, exchange small amounts of data with the network and return to sleep, providing for years of battery life. LTE Cat NB1 devices contain a host of features that deliver cost-effective, compact designs, and ultra-low power consumption compared to higher UE categories. These advantages make the NE910C1 the perfect platform to enable a quick implementation of LTE technology in IoT/M2M where low cost and low power are more relevant than high speed.

Telit NE910C1 helps increase the addressable market for LTE technology to include a broad range of new applications and use cases best served with lower maximum data rate, ultra-low power, reduced complexity and cost. Some examples are smart meters, smart parking, smart agriculture, waste collection, industrial sensors, healthcare monitors, home automation, and many more low data rate IoT devices. The NE910C1 is offered in a band configuration for deployment in the European NB-IoT networks, either in inband, guard-band or standalone mode; additional regional variants will follow. It is highly recommended for new designs, but also in particular as a migration path for existing GPRS devices, both new and updated designs benefit from a significant extension in lifecycle with LTE Cat NB1.
