LONDON, June 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Telit, a
global enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced
that the ME910C1-WW is the first module certified by AT&T for
its recently launched NB-IoT network. The ME910C1-WW also operates
on the carrier's complementary LTE-M Low-Power Wide-Area (LPWA)
network for the Internet of Things.
The ME910C1-WW enables a wide variety of devices, including
smart meters, point-of-sale terminals, industrial sensors, asset
management, healthcare monitors and home automation systems.
Features such as Power Saving Mode (PSM) and extended Discontinuous
Reception (eDRX) enabled by both AT&T LPWA networks make the
ME910C1-WW ideal for IoT applications that require low power, long
battery life.
The ME910C1-WW provides reliable connections even when IoT
devices are in hard-to-reach locations. The radio frequency
front-end (RFFE) engineering provides the module with superior
performance across the entire industrial-grade operating
temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.
"The Telit ME910C1-WW is already certified for use on AT&T's
LTE-M IoT network, and now it's the first module certified for its
new NB-IoT network," said Manish Watwani, Chief Marketing and
Product Officer, Telit. "These firsts highlight our
commitment to enabling IoT device designers, manufacturers and
their customers to take advantage of AT&T's latest and greatest
network technologies."
"Our NB-IoT and LTE-M networks deliver advanced services and
capabilities for the IoT that include coverage extension, improved
battery life and lower module and service costs," said Chris Penrose, President, IoT Solutions at
AT&T. "With the recent launch of our NB-IoT network, we're
moving rapidly to make these advantages a reality for our business
customers. Telit's multi-mode module will play a critical
role."
According to GSMA, 110+ LTE-M and NB-IoT commercial networks
have been launched globally. The combination of NB-IoT and LTE-M
capabilities into a single multi-mode module will give customers
more access to these networks as they deploy IoT globally.
Manufacturers will also be able to create modules with a single SKU
that will enable enterprise customers to seamlessly manage products
across global networks.
The ME910C1-WW supports global LTE bands as well as 2G fallback
and is available for use with carriers in North America, Europe, Japan, China,
Australia and other geographies.
This enables IoT device manufacturers to apply their
ME910C1-WW-based designs quickly and cost-effectively to IoT
solutions for sale in other countries worldwide. For more

The ME910C1-WW module is a member of Telit's best-selling xE910
family and can easily be applied as a drop-in replacement in
existing devices based on the family's modules for 2G, 3G and all
categories of LTE. With Telit's design-once-use-anywhere
philosophy, developers can cut costs and development time by simply
designing around the xE910 LGA common form factor, giving them the
freedom to deploy technologies best suited for the application's
environment.
