Cavli Wireless’ C42QM Smart Cellular Modules contain an integrated eSIM and support global coverage with LTE CAT M1/NB1/NB2 (3GPP Release 14), 2G, LTE-M, NB-IoT, and EGPRS connectivity, in addition to NTN (Non-Terrestrial Networks), making these devices a forward-thinking solution in IoT applications that include:
- Automotive and logistics
- Smart city
- Smart home
- Energy infrastructure and utilities
- Retail
- Security
- Manufacturing
- Agriculture
- Health care
The integrated eSIM allows access to Cavli’s Hubble platform for full management and monitoring of your devices in deployment. Cavli’s C42QM modules also feature integrated GNSS functionality (GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, Galileo) making it suitable for asset tracking and fleet management. High bandwidth also allows their use for voice communication, and thanks to excellent penetration, they can be used for indoor and underground deployments.
These smart devices are built around an ARM Cortex-A7 CPU running at up to 800 MHz and supported by a 256 kB L2 cache. Interfaces include a 1.8V/3V SIM Interface, 1x USB 2.0, 2x UART, 1x USIM, 9x GPIOs, 1x PCM, 1x I2C, 2x ADC, and the two antenna ports, and the devices can be powered using an operating voltage of 2.4-4.2 V. C42QM modules are available in a 23.6 x 19.9 x 2.4 mm, LGA package with a normal working temperature of -35°C to +75°C.
