This all-in-one cellular solution is the first commercially available LTE hardware module for IoT product creators to future proof their devices along retiring 2G and 3G networks.<\/p>\n

Particle\u2019s LTE module includes built-in cloud and SIM support, and is certified for the newly available LTE networks designed just for IoT.<\/p>\n

Long Term Evolution (LTE) CAT M1 network technologies are optimised for Internet of Things applications for a number of reasons.<\/p>\n

Improved connectivity range<\/strong><\/p>\n

LTE hardware is less costly, offers longer battery life, and improved connectivity range.<\/p>\n

These features make novel IoT applications \u2013 such as distributed sensor networks for agriculture or hard-to-reach industrial monitoring environments \u2013 possible, whereas they were not economically feasible in the past.<\/p>\n

These features, combined with LTE\u2019s superior coverage, will facilitate the next wave of successfully deployed IoT products.<\/p>\n

Additionally, as US carriers move to eliminate 2G networks and end new 2G\/3G device certifications, Particle\u2019s LTE E Series provides a much needed transition path for IoT product creators while avoiding costly disruptions.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs US carriers are quickly moving to end 2G and 3G support, and global carriers plan for LTE network rollouts, the timing for an LTE strategy is more critical than ever,\u201d said Bill Kramer, EVP of IoT Solutions at KORE, the largest independent provider combining secure managed IoT networks, application enablement, location based services, and IoT expertise into business-centric IoT solutions. \u201cKORE partners with forward-looking, leading IoT ecosystem technology companies like Particle to drive LTE adoption.<\/p>\n

\u201cParticle\u2019s E Series product line ensures that IoT builders can meet the new certification standards for LTE, which we see as the longest possible network lifecycle in the market today.\u201d<\/p>\n

“We are excited about the LTE-M1 product as it sets us on the right path for long-term sustainability of the connectivity elements of our solution,\u201d said George Tsintzouras, CEO of Alert Labs, maker of smart water sensors for home flood detection. \u201cWorking with Particle has put us in the position to move to the new hardware seamlessly, keeping us focused on improving the service we deliver to our customers.”<\/p>\n

Cellular IoT solutions<\/strong><\/p>\n

The LTE modules are part of Particle\u2019s existing E Series suite \u2014 an enterprise-level collection of cellular IoT solutions (including 2G, 3G, and now LTE models) \u2014 that come bundled with the Particle Device Cloud, Device OS, and Particle\u2019s extensive collection of developer tools.<\/p>\n

Particle\u2019s pre-integrated cellular solution provides a faster, far less complicated path to market by taking care of the vast majority of the challenges that plague commercial IoT development \u2014 not least of which includes the extensive, time-consuming, and costly certifications required of connected devices (eg, FCC; PTCRB; and Carrier-Specific).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe launched our cellular development kit, the Electron, to give our developer community access to the power of cellular,\u201d said Zach Supalla, Co-Founder and CEO of Particle. \u201cThe following industrial E Series line made go-to-market with 2G\/3G scalable for enterprises. Now with our LTE module, businesses will evolve alongside the quickly-changing cellular landscape without missing a beat.\u201d<\/p>\n

The LTE lineup includes two LTE CAT-M1 models (LTE B13 and LTE B2\/4\/5\/12) and is fully certified, low profile, surface mountable for industrial environments, and powered by Qualcomm\u2019s MDM9206 IoT Modem and u-blox\u2019s SARA-R410-02B module.<\/p>\n

“Particle’s LTE E Series is a key partner for our LTE Cat M1\/NB1 modules optimised for professional connectivity,\u201d said Suresh Ram, President of u-blox Americas<\/a><\/span>. \u201cOur Sara-R4\/N4 series provides a distinct small footprint, low power consumption, and a robust design specifically supporting IoT products – all bundled in Particle\u2019s new product line.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
