Telit, a global enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced that its ME310G1 and ME910G1 modules are certified for use on Verizon’s 4G LTE network. Based on the Qualcomm 9205 LTE IoT modem from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., the modules are ideal for smart utility metering, industrial sensors, wearable medical devices and other applications that require long battery life and reliable connectivity, including deep inside buildings. The ME310G1-W1 and ME910G1-W1 modules are compliant with 3GPP Release 14 and support LTE UE Category M1. Key features include Power Saving Mode (PSM) and extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX) to maximize battery life, and a maximum coupling loss (MCL) of up to +15dB/+20dB to ensure reliable indoor connectivity. For applications also targeted at markets outside the United States, the certified ME310G1-WW and ME910G1-WW variants offer 2G fallback and extended coverage allowing devices to operate in all network conditions, significantly mitigating coverage issues at cell edges and in other weak signal conditions, such as in deep indoor or underground environments. For devices deployed globally or across multiple countries, when outside the United States, 2G fallback ensures connectivity where LTE-M and NB-IoT networks are not yet deployed on a national scale.

With their miniature size of 13.1 x 14.3 mm and 15 x 18 mm respectively, the ME310G1-W1 and ME310G1-WW are the smallest Qualcomm 9205 LTE modem-based modules to meet Verizon standards to date, ideal for integration in super-compact devices.
