STMicroelectronics (ST), a global semiconductor company, has completed Deutsche Telekom's network certification for its location information module and is set to make a full-scale foray into the European market based on its stable location information provision function.

STMicroelectronics announced new features for its ST87M01 NB-IoT and geolocation module and said it has completed certification on the Deutsche Telekom network in Europe.

This announcement aims to develop cutting-edge technology solutions for IoT and location-based services.

The ST87M01 module is a small package solution certified for NB-IoT Release 15 that features integrated connectivity and location capabilities.

The newly added Wi-Fi positioning feature provides accurate and stable location information even in dense urban areas or indoor environments.

Usability has been further enhanced by utilizing Wi-Fi signals in addition to existing GNSS functions.

Additionally, the module complies with 3GPP and EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED) standards and includes an optional GSMA-certified eSIM.

In particular, it supports Remote SIM Provisioning in combination with ST's ST4SIM-300 embedded SIM and is compliant with the GSMA SGP.32 standard.You can easily switch network operators.

ST has proven the reliability and performance of its ST87M01 module through rigorous testing by Deutsche Telekom.

This certification enables ST to expand customer accessibility across Europe.

“The ST87M01 module has proven to be suitable for large-scale IoT projects in Deutsche Telekom’s network,” said Uday Patil, Head of IoT Devices and Services at Deutsche Telekom.

In addition to Deutsche Telekom certification, the ST87M01 module has also been approved by the Global Certification Forum (GCF), strengthening interoperability in a variety of mobile and IoT applications.

“This certification is a testament to the differentiated technological capabilities of the ST87M01,” said Domenico Arrigo, President and CEO of ST’s Industrial and Power Conversion Division. “We will provide better services to our European customers through enhanced network performance and efficient use of connectivity.”
