Used in 3GPP standard narrowband and LoRaWAN licensed bands
Pinout compatible with a concept that incorporates scalability

Telit announced that it supports a wide range of IoT applications by expanding its xE866 family of high-performance, low-power modules. The xE866 family supports Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN), Wireless Panoramic Area Network (WPAN), and Wireless LAN (WLAN) connectivity options in a single LGA form factor.

Customers can easily add necessary low-power wireless connectivity features to IoT products under development using the Telit xE866 module family. There is no need to modify the design according to new technology standards, and it can even extend the device's battery life. In this way, applications designed for licensed band 3GPP standard Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) environments can be easily used in other environments where unlicensed band proprietary LoRaWAN is suitable.

Ronen Ben-Hamou, Executive Vice President of Products and Solutions at Telit, stated, “For example, smart metering services require a single instrument control board and application software capable of supporting utilities that require multiple coverage areas. Telit supports emerging IoT standards such as LoRa, NB-IoT, and Wi-Fi through the xE866 family and enables their use in combination with its Telit IoT Platform and IoT Connectivity services.” "It helps customers increase operational efficiency while reducing future product upgrade costs," he said.

The form factors of the xE866 family, available in sizes ranging from 15x19mm to 15x25mm, are pinout compatible with a design concept that incorporates scalability.
