Telit Introduces Next Gen 3GPP Release 16 5G M.2 Modules Powered by Snapdragon X65 and X62 Modem-RF Systems

Telit, a global enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), introduced its new 5G M.2 worldwide module SKUs powered by the fourth-generation Snapdragon X65 and X62 modem-RF systems. The 3GPP Release 16 solutions will enable Telit customers such as device OEMs and systems integrators to support bandwidth-intensive, mission-critical and latency-sensitive applications such as smart manufacturing/Industry 4.0, telemedicine, 4K/8K streaming video and private 5G networks.

The new industrial 5G M.2 modules are available with LTE and WCDMA fallback:

• FN990A28: Sub-6: 120 MHz, 2CC CA
• FN990A40: Sub-6: 200 MHz, 3CC CA

3GPP Release 16 is the latest version of the 5G standard. It includes enhanced features such as ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) to enable a wide variety of new use cases for industrial IoT (IIoT), smart manufacturing, robotics, industrial gateways, fixed wireless access, SD-WAN, 4K/8K video streaming, extended reality (XR), gaming, eHealth, private 5G networks and more.

The  Snapdragon X65 and X62 are the world’s first announced 3GPP Release 16 5G modem-RF solutions and the world’s first announced 10 Gigabit 5G systems. Snapdragon X65 supports mmWave and sub-6 GHz spectrum aggregation, as well as support for mmWave in standalone mode and FDD+TDD, TDD+TDD and FDD+FDD in sub6 GHz flexible carrier aggregation combinations. They also have a highly integrated, high-performance L1/L5 dual-frequency GNSS for applications that require precision location.

Telit has an existing portfolio of industrial grade 5G modules with regulatory and mobile network operator certifications, which provides OEMs, system integrators and end users with added, independent verification that their devices will perform as expected on all major mobile operator networks worldwide. In addition to supporting  Telit OneEdge, which dramatically simplifies design, deployment and management of IoT products and solutions, the new M.2 modules also support the Telit IoT AppZone, which simplifies product design with advanced yet easy-to-use tools and APIs. AppZone also reduces bill-of-materials (BOM) costs and design complexity by embedding application code right in the module, eliminating the need for a microcontroller.
