ME910C1-E1 (Europe / M1+NB1)

The ME910C1 is the LTE UE Category (Cat) M1/NB1 specified in the 3GPP Release (Rel) 13. Cat M1/NB1 devices are specifically tailored for IoT applications, offering optimized power consumption and enhanced coverage.

• Design once and deploy globally, thanks to the xE910 form factor family
• The perfect platform for regional IoT applications, such as smart metering, security and surveillance, point of sale, health monitoring, fleet management, asset tracking and wearable devices
• LTE UE Cat M1/NB1 compliant to the latest 3GPP Rel 13 enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) and narrowband IoT (NB-IoT), specially designed for IoT use cases requiring minimum power consumption and extended coverage

The ME910C1 is the LTE UE Category M1/NB1 evolution of the Telit LE910 series of LTE modules. Specified in the 3GPP Release 13 (Rel. 13), Cat M1/NB1 devices are specifically tailored for IoT applications, offering optimized power consumption and enhanced coverage. This model further enriches the widely deployed Telit xE910 family of 28 x 28 mm LGA modules.

The ME910C1 has a maximum downlink and uplink data rate in the range of 300 kbps. This next generation of products supports the new features specified by 3GPP to boost IoT applications, such as Power Saving Mode (PSM) and extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX). These features allow the devices to wake up periodically to deliver small amounts of data to the network and go back to sleep, enabling prolonged battery operation.

A primary benefit this new LTE device offers is enhanced coverage with up to +15 dB/+20 dB in maximum coupling loss (MCL) compared to the other cellular technologies. LTE Cat M1/NB1 devices are optimized in cost, size and power consumption compared to higher UE categories. These advantages make the ME910C1 the perfect platform to enable quick implementation of LTE technology in IoT M2M in which low cost and low power are more relevant than high speed.
