LTE Cat-M1 modules supporting ThingSpace

22 February 2017 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Verizon and Qualcomm Technologies have teamed up to develop ThingSpace-ready modules from Quectel using Qualcomm’s MDM9206 Category M1 (Cat-M1) LTE modem. To further facilitate the creation of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions on the ThingSpace platform, Verizon is making available a development kit.

Quectel BG96 is a series of LTE Cat M1 and Cat NB1 modules offering a maximum data rate of 375 Kbps downlink and uplink. It features ultra-low power consumption and provides pin-to-pin compatibility with Quectel’s NB-IoT module BC95, UMTS/HSPA module UG95/UG96 and GSM/GPRS module M95. The BG96 has a cost-effective SMT form factor of 22,5 x 26,5 x 2,3 mm and its advanced LGA package allows fully automated manufacturing for high-volume applications.

Verizon’s ThingSpace client has been pre-integrated and tested on the MDM9206 LTE modem. The software provides a one-stop global solution for both wireless data and cloud service management for IoT devices. The solution can be customised for a wide range of IoT use cases including asset management, industrial automation, wearables, smart cities and more.
