LONDON, Aug. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Telit, a
global enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced the
LM940, the world's first global Full PCI Express Mini Card (mPCIe)
module for the router and gateway industry supporting LTE Advanced
Category 11 (Cat 11) with speeds of up to 600 Mbps, available with
various mobile network operator approvals in the fourth quarter of
2017. For more information on the LM940 mPCIe module, visit:
http://www.telit.com/Cellular/4G_Modules/LM940_mPCIe_data_card/.
The only enabling technology in an mPCIe form factor to support
Cat 11 with the Snapdragon X12 LTE modem, the industrial-grade
LM940 delivers significant flexibility and a competitive edge to
original equipment manufacturers (OEM) looking to quickly deploy
next generation products with an unrivaled user experience.
Today, customers of router and gateway OEMs demand additional
bandwidth and near instant network response times as applications
like high definition video streaming with digital signage,
commercial and enterprise failover needs and pop-up stores are
becoming increasingly sophisticated.
"This industrial-grade module from Telit supporting LTE Cat 11
with global coverage will be very attractive for equipment
manufacturers looking to deploy the latest solutions now,
especially in the router and gateway marketsupporting
high-bandwidth dependent applications like digital signage," said
Sam Lucero, senior principal analyst
for IHS Markit, a global information provider. "As detailed in our
June 2016 report on the industrial
cellular IoT gateways market*, IHS Markit anticipates gateway
shipments will rise from nearly two million shipped in 2016 to more
than six million shipped in 2021. The value of these industrial
cellular IoT gateways shipped in 2021 will slightly exceed USD
$1.6 billion."
"Telit extends its leadership again by delivering customers the
latest releases in LTE Advanced technology that they can take to
market today," says Manish Watwani, VP Global Product Marketing for
Telit. "The LM940 is the only global product for the router and
gateway segment that allows OEMs to immediately leverage the 3x
carrier aggregation and the higher order modulation of the 256 QAM
capabilities currently available amongst most mobile operator
networks. Combined with an exceptional power efficiency platform,
this is by far the ideal solution to enable commercial and
enterprise applications in the router industry, such as branch
office connectivity, LTE failover, digital signage, kiosks, pop-up
stores, vehicle routers, construction sites and more."
"The Snapdragon X12 LTE modem with LTE Advanced technologies
providing peak download speeds of 600 Mbps, defines a new level of
service for emerging applications," says Gautam Sheoran, director, product management,
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "We are pleased with our ongoing
collaboration with Telit to bring technologies that enable emerging
applications like 4K video, virtual reality and cognitive computing
to the global market."
