Gemalto launches M2M Cat 1 LTE module with seamless 2G and 3G fall-back
February 2016 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Gemalto is launching a M2M Category 1 (Cat 1) LTE wireless module. This advanced module enables fall-back to 2G in Europe Middle East Africa and to 3G in North America for areas where LTE connectivity is not yet fully available.
The new Cinterion® solution provides highly efficient LTE connectivity and embedded processing for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) / Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It is ideal for smart metering and tracking & tracing applications that are not dependent on the highest data speeds but rather require the longevity LTE networks offer.
The new Cinterion module comes with a powerful Java® virtual machine adding embedded processing to the module itself. It allows developers to leverage the massive Java ecosystem, a large preexisting code base, plus benefit from proven software building blocks to speed new product development.
