Telit Cinterion's New Modules Transform IoT Connectivity
London, Monday, 10 March 2025.
Telit Cinterion introduces affordable, low-power LTE and GNSS modules, enhancing IoT applications with compact solutions for improved connectivity across European markets.
Revolutionary Compact Design
The newly announced LE310 LTE Cat. 1 bis module series showcases remarkable engineering with its compact 15 x 18 mm form factor, while maintaining compatibility with other Telit Cinterion Cellular LPWA modules [1]. This strategic design enables device manufacturers to create unified designs with flexible connectivity options. The companion SL871K2 GNSS module features an even more compact 9.7 x 10.1 mm industrial form factor, making it particularly suitable for space-constrained applications [1].
Advanced Multi-Constellation Support
The SL871K2 module represents a significant advancement in positioning technology, supporting multiple satellite constellations including GPS, QZSS, GLONASS, Beidou, and Galileo [1]. This comprehensive satellite support is enhanced by Assisted GNSS (A-GNSS) capability in both autonomous and server-based modes, alongside a precise 1 pulse per second (1PPS) signal output [1]. These features make it particularly valuable for applications requiring precise timing and location services, such as fleet management and GNSS-assisted road tolling systems.
Market Impact and Availability
The market timing of these modules is strategically aligned with the growing demand for IoT connectivity solutions. Marco Argenton, SVP Product Management at Telit Cinterion, emphasizes that the IoT market’s exponential growth has created an urgent need for combined LTE and GNSS modules that can deliver global connectivity while maintaining compact size and extended battery life [1]. Both modules are currently in the sampling phase, with mass production scheduled for the second half of 2025 [1]. The LE310 series will be available in specialized SKUs for North America and EMEA/APAC regions, alongside a global SKU for worldwide deployment [1].
Integration with Advanced IoT Ecosystem
These new modules complement Telit Cinterion’s broader IoT solutions portfolio, which includes their recently announced AI-powered 5G modules featuring Qualcomm X85/X82 5G Modem-RF systems [2]. This positioning demonstrates the company’s commitment to providing comprehensive IoT connectivity solutions across different technology tiers and price points [4]. With headquarters in Irvine, California, and a workforce of 501-1,000 employees [4], Telit Cinterion continues to strengthen its position as a key player in the IoT solutions market [alert! ‘future market performance cannot be predicted’].
