Wireless Unveils Industry’s First 5G M.2 Module Sample with mmWave
Support at Mobile World Congress 2019
5G
connectorized module based on Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ X55 5G modem and RF
Front-End solutions demonstrates Sierra Wireless’ continued leadership
in enabling future IoT applications
BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 25, 2019--Sierra Wireless
(NASDAQ:SWIR) (TSX:SW), the leading provider of fully integrated
device-to-cloud solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT), today
announced that the industry’s first 5G mechanical module sample will be
on display at Mobile World Congress. Based on the M.2 form factor, the
connectorized AirPrime® module will enable original equipment
manufacturers and system integrators requiring the highest possible
speeds to deploy 5G on their mobile computing, networking and IoT
platforms worldwide.
Sierra Wireless’ 5G module will be on display in the GSMA Innovation
City, Hall 4, Stand 4A30, as well as in partner stands, including AT&T
Hall 4, Stand 4D40, Nokia Hall 3, Stand 3A10 and Qualcomm Hall 3, 3E10.
“Since launching the world’s first cellular embedded module in 1997,
Sierra Wireless has a track record of being first to market with
solutions for the latest wireless standards,” said Ross Gray, Vice
President, Product Management, OEM Solutions, Sierra Wireless. “Our new
5G modules will allow our OEM customers to deploy on whatever 5G
technology best fits their use case, including mmWave to reach
multi-Gigabit speeds. Supporting global 5G deployments with a single
module, we remain focused on technology leadership and developing
innovative solutions that make wireless communications easier to
integrate and securely scale.”
Sierra Wireless’ 5G M.2 mechanical module sample supports mmWave, sub 6
Ghz and LTE technologies, as defined by the 3GPP Release 15 standard. 5G
is designed to co-exist with 4G and to enable new use cases beyond what
is possible with prior technology, including:
-
Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) – enhances Low Power Wide
Area (LPWA) sensor applications, such as metering, that are currently
served by LTE-M and NB-IoT, the foundation of future 5G IoT;
-
Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) – enhances high-speed, high-bandwidth
applications, such as networking, high-end video, gaming and augmented
reality, with the long-term goal of achieving more than 20 Gbps
download speeds; and
-
Ultra-Reliability and Low Latency Communication (URLLC) for use cases
that require the five-nines quality of service (QoS) and close to
one-millisecond-latency performance of 5G NR, which help support
mission-critical applications, such as smart factories and
vehicle-to-everything communications.
“Qualcomm Technologies and Sierra Wireless have been working closely
together on multiple generations of cellular technology to enable
companies worldwide to innovate and create new products using the latest
wireless standards,” said Gautam Sheoran, Senior Director, Product
Management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “As we have done with
smartphones and mobile devices, we’re excited to collaborate with the
ecosystem in bringing 5G to mobile computing, networking and many other
segments using the Snapdragon X55 5G modem and our antenna modules with
integrated RF transceiver, RF Font-End and antenna elements.”
Availability
Sierra Wireless AirPrime 5G modules based on the
prototype will be available in 2019 to align with carrier network roll
outs.
