AirPrime® HL Series provides Maestro with LTE
Cat-1 cellular connectivity for track-and-trace devices that are
deployed in harsh mobile environments
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW) today announced that
Maestro Wireless Solutions Limited, a leading provider of tracking
devices for IoT applications globally, has announced its first LTE
Cat-1 tracker based on the AirPrime HL Series from Sierra Wireless.
Maestro’s newest tracker, the ruggedized MT-44, provides fleet and
asset tracking capabilities in harsh mobile environments using the
LTE Cat-1 module with maximum data rates of 10 Mbps downlink and 5
Mbps uplink.
“We have been integrating Sierra Wireless modules into our
products for more than 15 years and we have always trusted the
company to deliver on leading edge cellular technologies that
improve product performance,” said Xavier Dupont, Chief Executive
Officer of Maestro. “The HL Series provides us with a single
footprint for 2G and 3G global coverage and the LTE Cat-1 module is
utilizing the same compact design in our newest tracker.”
“Today, we are seeing strong interest in our LTE Cat-1 embedded
modules optimized for lower bandwidth and power requirements,” said
Dan Schieler, Senior Vice President, OEM Solutions for Sierra
Wireless. “We are pleased to have Maestro deploying our latest LTE
technology in their tracking devices. The HL Series Cat-1 module
provides the next step in the evolution for our customers, as
service providers are continuing to transition their networks to
LTE technology.”
The HL Series uses the CF3™ form factor from Sierra Wireless
that is footprint-compatible across product lines and network
technologies, and is fully interchangeable with future versions of
the modules including LTE-M variants when they become
available.
LTE-M is a Low-Power Wide Area (LPWA) technology that will
provide a highly efficient cellular option with lower
radio-frequency complexity, significantly reduced power consumption
(up to 10 years of service on a single AA battery), better
in-building signal penetration, and lower costs. Sierra Wireless is
an active contributor to the LTE-M standard definition process
within the 3GPP and has committed to launching compatible modules
timed with network deployments, expected to begin in 2017.
The LTE Cat-1 modules from Sierra Wireless will be commercially
available in January 2016 on the HL Series.
