“As the leader in embedded modules, this next generation of 5G modules from Sierra Wireless with their unprecedented performance, further demonstrate our 5G leadership and continued commitment to our customers,” says Jim Ryan, SVP Partnerships, Marketing & IoT Solutions, Sierra Wireless. “As carriers invest in new spectrum for next generation 5G, Sierra Wireless continues to support and pave the way with our advanced 5G technology, global presence and decades of IoT experience, enabling new and innovative IoT applications for industry digital transformation.”

The EM92 Series of 5G modules aims to make 5G more affordable, while building on the success of the company’s EM91 Series which includes both the EM9190 5G mmWave/Sub-6/LTE New Radio (NR) and EM9191 5G Sub-6/LTE NR standards-based M.2 modules. Both modules in Sierra Wireless’ embedded broadband portfolio deliver unprecedented bandwidth and network performance and have been designed to securely connect to 5G networks around the world. They enable OEMs, system integrators and other companies to easily integrate 5G connectivity into their products, and make the most of 5G’s high speeds and ultra-low latency while shortening time-to-market, futureproofing designs, and ensuring the security of their deployment.

Both modules include an embedded SIM (eSIM) based on GSMA’s embedded SIM specification, eUICC. This eSIM enables customers to simplify their initial deployments on one carrier’s profile, and easily switch between networks without having to physically visit the device in the field for added IoT product deployment, and flexibility.
