Telit First to Certify LTE IoT Category M1 Module with Telstra

ME910C1-AU module expedites migration of existing 2G/3G connections and shortens time-to-market for new Cat M1 devices for the Australian market. Telit today announced that its quad-band, dual-mode ME910C1-AU, based on the Qualcomm® MDM9206 LTE IoT modem, is the first module to receive LTE Category M1 (Cat M1) certification for operation on Telstra’s mobile network. Certification means IoT integrators and providers looking to deploy in Australia can quickly start taking advantage of the reliability and around three million square kilometers of Telstra’s LTE Cat M1 coverage built specifically for the IoT. The ME910C1-AU module is a member of Telit’s best-selling xE910 family and can easily be applied as a pin-to-pin replacement for existing devices based on the family’s modules for 2G, 3G, LTE Categories 1, 3 and 4. With the company’s design-once-use-anywhere philosophy, developers can cut costs and development time by simply designing for the xE910 LGA common form factor, giving them the freedom to deploy technologies best suited for the application’s environment. The ME910C1-AU also features optimized power consumption and optional quad-constellation GNSS support capabilities. The ME910C1-AU, based on the Qualcomm MDM9206 global multimode modem, is the first LTE IoT technology to receive Telstra Cat M1 certification.
