Providing IoT modules optimized for LTE-M1 communication service environments
Planned launch in conjunction with the commercialization of LTE Cat M networks

Telit announced that it is launching 'LTE Cat M1,' an IoT module for Verizon's LTE Category M1 (LTE-M1) service, in collaboration with Verizon, the largest mobile carrier in the United States, and Qualcomm.

Telit collaborates with Qualcomm Technologies to provide IoT modules optimized for Verizon's LTE-M1 communication service environment.

Telit's ME910C1-NV is an LTE-Cat M1 IoT module based on Qualcomm Technologies' IoT-dedicated MDM9206 modem. Qualcomm's Cat M1 products are a fundamental component of the service scheduled for launch by Verizon.

The ME910C1-NV module is part of the xE910 family and can be used as a drop-in replacement for existing devices based on models from the 2G, 3G, and LTE family, and supports Verizon's web-based developer platform for IoT, 'ThingSpace'.

Telit plans to launch a module in line with the domestic LTE Cat M network commercialization plan.

Chris Schmidt, General Manager of Device Technology at Verizon, said, “Telit is a major supplier of 2G, 3G, and 4G wireless modules to Verizon.” “Telit’s cost-effective IoT solutions are crucial for customers developing IoT solutions using Verizon’s 4G LTE network. Considering the use cases that Cat M1 can support for customers seeking low bandwidth, optimized battery life, extended coverage, and long-term use, partnering with Telit to launch IoT modules was inevitable,” he said.

Jeffery Torrance, Vice President of Business Development at Qualcomm Technologies, said, “We are pleased to support LTE Cat M1 IoT services through our collaboration with Telit and Verizon. Qualcomm’s MDM9206 modem reduces the complexity of IoT devices, extends battery life, and provides optimized capabilities for LTE communication to enable the deployment of diverse IoT systems worldwide. We look forward to this collaboration helping to deliver new IoT services and grow the related market.”
