Telit has announced that it has upgraded its two top selling Sprint IoT modules to support band class 10 (SMR 800-900 MHz). The update is critical as it provides better in-building penetration. The CE910-DUAL and CL865-DUAL upgraded modules allow customers to deploy a wider range of applications that benefits from the additional flexibility of the 800 MHz service over Sprint’s nationwide network.
The CE910-DUAL and CL865-DUAL pack high value features in ultra-compact 28.2 x 28.2 x 2.0 mm LGA and 24.4 x 24.4 x 2.4 mm QFN packages respectively. Both modules support USB 2.0, full-duplex data rate of 153.6 Kpbs and extended operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C making them suitable platforms for mobile and fixed applications such as vending, point-of-sale (POS), tracking, smart metering, and telematics devices.
These modules provide customers with a solid platform to develop, launch and operate new IoT products on Sprint’s proven and reliable CDMA 1xRTT network. The devices designed with class 10 capable modules enjoy benefits like better operation in buildings and urban environments. With Sprint’s commitment to support 1XRtt and EVDO devices, users can plan for a migration path from CDMA to LTE without being forced into an immediate upgrade or device redesign to accommodate connectivity.
Part of the xE910 form factor family, the CE910-DUAL protects investments by offering completely interchangeable solutions for the Sprint network between 1xRTT and EV-DO Rev. A with the DE910-DUAL. The CL865 is currently shipping sample and commercial orders. Shipments of the CE910 start in Q1 2016.
