LTE Cat. 4 modem card with 3G/2G fallback

26 May 2021 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

The Thales Cinterion mPLS83-W IoT modem card simplifies global high-bandwidth IoT connectivity, delivering instant access to high-speed LTE Cat. 4 networks with 3G/2G fallback. Offered in a convenient Mini PCIe modem card format, the mPLS83 simply plugs into an existing Mini PCIe modem card slot to connect assets anywhere in the world over 18-band LTE Cat.4, 7-band 3G UMTS/WCDMA and quad-band GSM.

The device delivers LTE Cat. 4 speeds of 150 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps uplink, making it ideal for applications that require high speed, network longevity and continuous global coverage even in areas that lack 4G networks. This includes transportation solutions, tracking and tracing applications, industrial gateways and point of sales.

Features include integrated IP connectivity, voice-over-LTE (VoLTE), circuit switched voice, GNSS and a comprehensive AT command set for simplified device control. A dual SIM interface and optional Thales eSIM strengthens security and reduces complexity by providing MNO (mobile network operator) flexibility at the time of deployment. What’s more, it also supports easy remote provisioning and dynamic subscription management for the lifetime of the device. Advanced security capabilities including secure boot, secure key storage, and key lifecycle management protecting both the device and data.

To ensure your assets remain connected and secure over their long lifespan, the mPLS83 modem card is supported by the Cinterion IoT Suite. Offering OTA (over-the-air) software updates, lifecycle management, trusted digital identity management, secure cloud interworking and zero-touch connectivity activation, the Cinterion IoT Suite ensures cost-effective lifecycle management and IoT investment protection
