LTE modems target smart metering, security, and IoT apps

Qualcomm Incorporated announced that its subsidiary, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., has introduced its latest LTE modems (the MDM9207-1 and MDM9206), which are designed to support reliable, optimized cellular connectivity to a growing array of devices and systems within the Internet of Things (IoT).

MDM9207-1是针对智能计量，安全性，资产跟踪，可穿戴设备，销售点和工业自动化等物联网应用程序的专门构建 - 其中许多需要与云服务的极其可靠且效率高效的连接。它提供1类LTE连接，并具有功率和吞吐量优化以及其他可自定义功能。

The MDM9206 will allow device manufacturers to enable cost-optimized solutions for low data rate IoT applications more efficiently addressed by a narrowband modem in addition to providing enhancements for ultra-low power and extended range as part of Cat-M (eMTC) and narrowband IoT (NB-IOT).

The introduction of MDM9207-1 and MDM9206 is another step in the Company’s efforts to expand 4G LTE and next generation cellular connectivity into new applications, and pioneer new technologies that will establish the foundation for a unified, more capable 5G platform for the next decade.

“ Qualcomm Technologies继续扩大LTE的能力，以立即使用MDM9207-1和MDM9206加速物联网的进度，”高级技术公司IOE高级副总裁兼总经理Anthony Murray表示，这些现代有限公司表明了我们继续承诺的承诺。除了基于新标准的低功率宽面积（LPWA）技术外，现有LTE商用设备能力的扩展，该技术将导致具有较长范围，较低功率和较低复杂性的全球蜂窝溶液，例如LTE CAT-M（EMTC）和nb-iot。”

The MDM9207-1 offers device makers, system integrators and developers a mature modem platform that features industry-leading 3G/4G LTE multimode and multiband support, and is designed to support connections on major cellular networks worldwide. The platform offers advanced power saving features for devices that are persistently connected as well as for those that require infrequent communication to the network. It also features an integrated applications processor for Linux-based applications, proven global positioning for location services, and advanced security and authentication features – all in a highly-integrated package that reduces Bill-of-Materials (BOM) costs, design complexity and integration time.

Key customizable features for the MDM9207-1 include support for:

LTE Category 1 up to 10 Mbps downlink and 5 Mbps uplink speeds with LTE multimode or LTE Single mode capability and dual Rx or single Rx
Power Save Mode (PSM) enabling 10+ years battery life
主要的蜂窝标准，包括LTE FDD，LTE TDD，DC-HSPA，GSM和TD-SCDMA
跨芯片组平台的可扩展软件
Advanced, built-in hardware and software security features
