Cellular
Worldwide connectivity.
Depending on the application, there are various ways to implement IoT capability. Do you want cellular communication as an integral part of your application? For this, we offer various modules for PCB-based design-in or data cards in various formats such as M.2 or mPCIe. We also offer options in the form of routers and gateways, for example, to retrofit your existing application.
Technology
Cellular, or mobile communication, refers to a wireless communication technology where mobile end devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets, IoT devices) are connected to the internet or other devices via a cell-based network. The network consists of many radio cells, which are supplied by base stations (radio masts).
Well-known cellular network technologies: 5G and LTE (4G) and their subcategories, such as 5G RedCap, Narrow-Band-IoT, LTE CAT-M1.
