THALES ELS31-JK REL.2

The first of its kind Cinterion® ELS31 LTE Cat. 1 wireless module is revolutionizing highly efficient 4G LTE connectivity for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and industrial Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The device features power-optimized performance and M2M-optimized speeds of 10Mbit/s download and 5Mbit/s uplink. It delivers overall cost efficiencies for the vast number of IoT applications that are not dependent on high speed connectivity but still require the longevity and reliability of LTE networks as 2G and 3G phase out in decades ahead. It is ideal for a wide variety of applications including metering, tracking and tracing, fleet management and mHealth. Sharing the same footprint as existing Cinterion industrial portfolio products, the ELS31 modules enable easy migration of 2G and 3G devices to LTE. It also supports multi-designs for different network standards in most dynamic LTE markets such as US and Japan. All Cinterion M2M Modules come with Full Type Approval (FTA) and local network operator certifications to ensure easy integration and a fast time to market for innovative solutions. The small ELS31 platform comes in Thales M2M’s unique LGA (Land Grid Array) package perfectly suited to the manufacturing needs of small, high-volume M2M devices with a focus on reliable and efficient processes. The module is designed for optimized power consumption and includes support for common industrial interfaces such as USB and UART. ELS31 is a single-mode module specifically designed for LTE networks. Network standards are expected to continue to evolve encompassing increasingly efficient LTE categories (e.g. Cat-M1), or voice over LTE (VoLTE). Future Cinterion modules will support easy forward/ backward migration and compatibility by sharing the same form-factor.
