Telit's LTE Cat 1 LE910S1-ELG with Embedded GNSS Receiver Enables High-Performance IoT Applications in Latin America

New all-in-one cellular LTE and GNSS module provides superior throughput, latency, mobility and voice support

Product covers all LATAM 4G and 2G Bands plus mainstream bands used in Europe and Asia, making it an ideal module for intercontinental deployments

London, December 1, 2021 - Telit, a global enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced the LE910S1-ELG, a new LTE Cat 1 module designed for IoT applications in Latin America (LATAM) that need a combination of performance, affordability, voice support and 2G fallback in a compact form factor. With an embedded GNSS receiver, the cost-optimized LE910S1-ELG is ideal for tracking applications such as fleet management, stolen vehicle tracking and recovery, as well as other mobile IoT applications that need to maintain a reliable connection when moving around in a country, region or multiple regions.

The LE910S1-ELG is the latest member of Telit's flagship xE910 module family, whose unified form factor and electrical and programming interfaces spanning 2G, 3G and 4G products enables developers to implement a "design once, use anywhere" strategy. The module supports LTE Cat.1 with single-antenna reception, providing downlink speeds of up to 10 Mbps and uplink speeds up to 5 Mbps. Its streamlined configuration, compared to LTE Cat 1 devices with two antennas, helps significantly reduce cost and complexity.

Supporting 2G fallback, the LE910S1-ELG is perfect for applications that require full mobility throughout the LATAM regions, including areas that have not upgraded to 4G yet. It also supports both circuit-switched voice and VoLTE for those applications that require making phone calls, such as healthcare mobile personal emergency response systems (mPERS), connected elevators, alarm systems and more. The power-saving embedded GNSS receiver enables the use of GNSS positioning even when the cellular modem is switched off.

"The LE910S1-ELG is a great option for migrating customers that use legacy 2G and 3G modules in Latin America, especially where nationwide LTE-M and NB-IoT coverage does not yet exist," said Marco Stracuzzi, head of product marketing, Telit. "Our all-in-one cellular and GNSS module covers all LATAM 4G and 2G bands, as well as mainstream bands used in Europe and Asia, which makes it well-suited particularly for high-performance tracking across intercontinental deployments."

The LE910S1-ELG is sampling now, and will be commercially available during the first quarter of 2022.
