Powered by Sony’s Altair ALT1255 NB-IoT chipset, the NE310L2 features best-in-class power consumption and an ultra-small footprint. LG U+ certification enables the NE310L2 to be used immediately in smart meters, industrial sensors, asset tracking devices and other battery-powered, cost-sensitive LPWA NB-IoT applications on one of South Korea’s largest networks.
Telit Cinterion, a company that enables end-to-end IoT solutions, announced that LG U+ has certified its NE310L2 series of LTE Cat NB2 modules for use on its network.
Featuring best-in-class power consumption and an ultra-small footprint, these modules are ideal for low-bandwidth, cost-sensitive applications that require long battery life and extended coverage.
The NE310L2 series is the first low-power wide area (LPWA) NB-IoT module approved by LG U+ based on Sony’s Altair ALT1255 chipset. The NE310L2-W1 module has an ultra-small footprint of 13.1 x 14.3 mm, making it ideal for space-constrained IoT devices such as smart meters, medical/fitness wearables, home automation, and asset trackers. Other key features include:
Power Save Mode (PSM) and enhanced Discontinuous Reception (eDRX) provide best-in-class power consumption for battery-operated devices. 23 dBm output power (Power Class 3) maximizes reliability and performance for uplink coverage. Pin-to-pin compatibility with other members of Telit Cinterion’s award-winning xE310 family allows integrators to design a single PCB layout and deploy any combination of 2G and 4G technologies. An extended temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C ensures reliable operation in harsh applications such as automated metering infrastructure (AMI), smart agriculture, and industrial sensors.
“The certification by LG U+ means that IoT specialists, system integrators and device OEMs serving the Korean market can leverage the Telit Cinterion NE310L2 and Sony’s Altair ALT1255 chipset,” said Steven Kim, senior sales director at Telit Cinterion.
“The NE310L2 expertly balances performance, flexibility, power efficiency, size and durability, making it ideal for a wide range of IoT applications, from wearables to utility meters to industrial sensors.”
