Telit Communications PLC announced that its FN980, ME310G1-WW and ME910G1-WW modules have completed inter-operability testing for use on KDDI's 5G and LTE-M networks. The approvals highlight Telit's leadership in providing Japan's device OEMs, systems designers and their customers with a broad, deep portfolio of LPWA and 5G solutions optimized for use on KDDI's networks. Based on the new 3GPP Rel. 15 standard, Telit's FN980 is ideal for bandwidth-intensive IoT applications, including HD surveillance video, digital signage, industrial IoT applications. The cards also enable device OEMs, systems designers and their customers to take immediate advantage of KDDI's 5G network in sub-6 GHz spectrum. The Telit ME310G1-WW and ME910G1-WW LTE-M modules are optimized for power consumption, enhanced coverage and cost. Compliant with 3GPP Release 14, both modules also are 5G-ready, providing flexibility and futureproofing. Optimized in size, the ME310G1-WW is especially suitable for applications such as fitness trackers, medical wearables and industrial sensors. The ME910G1-WW, as part of the best-selling xE910 family, enables users to quickly port their existing xE910-based designs to take advantage of KDDI's networks. All the newly certified modules also support 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.
