Fibocom, a global leading provider of IoT (Internet of Things) wireless solutions and wireless communication modules, announces the new member of its LTE Cat 1 bis module portfolio featuring high reliability, ultra-compact size and cost-effectiveness at MWC Shanghai 2024.
The MC610-GL is positioned to foster the economics of IoT scale in vertical markets across asset tracking, E-mobility, AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure), etc.
The Global Cellular IoT Module market shows a 7% year-over-year (YoY) growth in Q1 2024, according to the latest reports by IoT Analytics. Despite ongoing inventory and demand issues in several other regions globally, technologies like 5G and LTE Cat-1 bis have seen a combined market growth of 67% year-over-year, signifying their substantial contribution to the cellular IoT module market’s overall growth.
“The statistics have verified Cat 1 bis’ driving forces in bringing affordable and reliable wireless connectivity service to a diversified IoT landscape, even though 5G remains strong performance in the data-intensive scenarios, and Cat 1 bis takes the lead in the mainstream low and medium speed market thanks to the worldwide 4G infrastructure,” said Kevin Guan, Director of MTC Product Marketing at Fibocom.
“Without a doubt, we are optimistic in expanding the utilization of Cat 1 bis technology in segment areas and providing the value-added reference design service to industry customers. Looking forward, the MC610-GL is expected to address its top performance in the global market and accelerate the large-scale IoT deployment worldwide.”
Developed from the UNISOC 8910DM platform, the MC610-GL supports major carrier frequency bands worldwide and complies with rich network standards, thus ensuring uninterrupted wireless connection anywhere, anytime, especially catering to asset tracking scenarios. It adopts an ultra-compact LCC+LGA form factor design measured at 24.2 x 26.2 x 2.1mm with dual-mode (4G+2G) supported, providing great convenience for customers to switch from LTE Cat M to Cat 1 bis at the minimum investment. Equipped with rich standard interfaces, the module empowers a wide range of low-to-medium speed IoT industries with up to 10Mbps downlink data transmission rate while conserving significant cost. Leveraging the industry capabilities within Fibocom, customers are catered to the reference design service and support, reducing the lead time to market. In addition, regional versions for EMEA (MC610-EU) and Latin America (MC610-LA) are flexibly adjustable in request to customers’ cost concerns.
