TELIT CINTERION EXPANDS 5G LPWA MODULE PORTFOLIO

Telit Cinterion, a global enabler of the intelligent edge, recently announced new ultra-compact 5G low-power wireless access (LPWA) modules for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor IoT applications that require long battery life and long service life. The modules feature the ALT1350 chipset from Sony Semiconductor Israel (Sony), the world’s first chipset that supports unlicensed spectrum and satellite connectivity in a single chipset, enabling faster development, lower power, smaller size and new use cases.

The new modules leverage the advanced capabilities of Sony’s ALT1350 chipset, designed to meet the unique and demanding requirements of the 5G LPWA massive IoT market. The ALT1350 SoC features ultra-low power consumption in various modes, including 3GPP PSM and eDRX, which significantly increases the longevity of battery-operated devices.

The ALT1350 also has an AI engine for edge processing and indoor and outdoor positioning technologies bundled with a sensor hub that collects data from the sensors while maintaining its ultra-low power and high security. The SoC integrates multi-layered security architecture, including hardware and software-based secure elements to ensure end-to-end security.

The new modules have pin-to-pin compatibility with Telit Cinterion’s widely deployed module families, enabling integrators to design a single PCB layout and deploy any combination of cellular technologies, with a “design once, use anywhere” strategy.
