Product Description
The ME910C1 is the Category M1/NB1 evolution of the Telit
LE910 Series of LTE modules. Specified in the approved
Release 13 of the 3GPP standard, Cat M1/NB1 devices are
specifically tailored for IoT applications, offering optimized
power consumption and enhanced coverage. This model
further enriches the widely deployed Telit xE910 family of
28 x 28 mm LGA modules.
The ME910C1 is an LTE UE Category M1/NB1 device with
maximum downlink and uplink data rate of 1Mbps. This
next generation of products supports the new features
specified by 3GPP to boost IoT applications, such as the
Power Saving Mode (PSM) and the extended Discontinu-
ous Reception (eDRX), which allow the devices to wake up
periodically to deliver only very small amounts of data to
the network and then go back to sleep for most of the time,
thus allowing longer battery operation. Enhanced cover-
age, with up to +15dB/+20dB in maximum coupling loss
(MCL) compared to the other cellular technologies, is also
one of the key benefits of this new LTE flavour. LTE Cat
M1/NB1 devices are therefore optimized in cost, size and
power consumption compared to higher UE categories.
These advantages make the ME910C1 the perfect platform
to enable a quick implementation of LTE technology in IoT/
M2M where low cost and low power are more relevant than
high speed.
The ME910C1 helps increase the addressable market for
LTE technology to include a broad range of new applica-
tions and use cases best served with lower maximum data
rate, ultra-low power, reduced complexity and cost. Some
examples are smart meters, industrial sensors, healthcare
monitors, home automation, asset tracker and many more
low data rate IoT devices. The ME910C1 is offered in differ-
ent band configurations for deployment in North America
(Verizon and AT&T 4G networks), and in EMEA, the latter
with dual mode Cat M1/NB1 (NB-IoT) capability. It is highly
recommended for new designs, but also in particular as a
migration path for existing GPRS or CDMA devices, both
new and updated designs benefit from a significant
extension in lifecycle with LTE Cat M1/NB1.
Key Benets
• Design once and deploy globally, thanks to the xE910
form factor family
Perfect platform for regional IoT applications such as
smart metering, security & surveillance, point of sales,
health monitoring, fleet management, asset tracking and
wearable devices
LTE UE Category M1/NB1 compliant to the latest 3GPP
Release 13 enhanced Machine-Type Communication
(eMTC) and Narrow Band IoT (NB-IoT), specifically
designed for IoT use cases, offering minimum power
consumption and extended coverage
Family Concept
The ME910C1 is a member of Telit’s flagship xE910 module
family delivering 4G radio access technology in the 28.2 x
28.2 x 2.2mm family form factor. The Telit xE910 Unified
Form Factor Family is comprised of 2G, 3G, and 4G that are
3GPP and 3GPP2 products sharing a common form factor
as well as electrical and programming interfaces which
allows developers to implement a “design once, use any-
where” strategy.
