LE922A6 delivers Category 6, 300Mbps data rate
in new LGA form factor family
Telit, a global enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT),
today announced it is taking orders for the LE922A6, an LTE
Category 6 (Cat 6) module series targeted at the growing market of
fixed wireless LTE broadband applications. The module series is
planned to evolve in lock step with worldwide carrier deployments
of very-high speed LTE services starting now with Cat 6 at 300Mbps,
going up to Cat 9 at 450Mbps and to Cat 12 at 600Mbps in the coming
years.
With its 34x40/40x40mm LGA footprint, the new nested form factor
is devised to address specific requirements of network router and
gateway manufacturers. These manufacturers and integrators can
explore opportunities for fixed LTE DSL either as alternative for
fixed-line connectivity in rural and other areas lacking broadband
infrastructure, or as back up, failover or enhancement to DSL
connectivity with a hybrid solution combining xDSL IP streams with
LTE. The series launches with two variants, banded for the European
and Australian markets with additional variants for the American
and other regional markets to be available in sync with carrier
plans to deploy Cat 6 and higher and supporting services in their
markets.
The term “fixed wireless” refers to the delivery of Internet
services to permanent structures such as homes and businesses using
wireless spectrum rather than fiber, cable or satellite
technologies. It is a cost-effective way to extend Internet access
to rural and suburban areas underserved by wireline infrastructure.
Given the very high data rates and reliability delivered by LTE Cat
6-9-12, in addition to extension of primary internet service
coverage, fixed wireless is also gaining strength as a backup or
failover solution for primary wireline internet service in mission
critical applications such as data centers, logistics depots,
manufacturing sites and healthcare facilities.
“The LE922A6 is a significant introduction for Telit. It marks a
number of ‘firsts’ for us: first module in the new xE922 form
factor, first product for the fixed wireless router and gateway
market segment and of course, first LTE Cat 6 module,” said Ronen
Ben-Hamou, Telit Executive Vice President of Products and
Solutions. “With aggressive plans by mobile network operators
everywhere to deploy very high-speed LTE services, we should see
very successful applications of this technology by traditional
network appliance manufacturers and very creative use of the
feature-rich LTE standard.”
The LE922A6 has a 34x40mm LGA footprint. Its nested form factor
makes it upward, pin-to-pin compatible with the 40x40mm footprint
of upcoming Cat 9 and Cat 12 evolution variants. It is available as
single and dual-modes, LTE only for Europe and LTE+UMTS|HSPA+ for
Australia. The 3GPP Release 10 compliant module supports LTE bands
800 (B20) / 1800 (B3) / 2600 (B7) for the LE922A6-E1 European
variant and LTE 700 (B28) / 1800 (B3) / 2100 (B1) / 2600 (B7) /
2300 (B40) with 3G 900/2100MHz fallback bands for Australia’s
LE922A6-A1 variant. MIMO (Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output) 2x2 and
2CA (Carrier Aggregation) combine two radio carrier bands to
deliver an FDD download data rate of 300Mbps. The upload data rate
is 50Mbps. The new module features extended operating temperature
range of -40°C to +85°C critical for in-rack mounting in IT network
operation centers and data centers. The LE922A6 supports voice over
LTE (VoLTE) which opens up opportunities for providers to explore
business enhancements with additional service options to customers.
Residential routers equipped with the module can enable a simple,
effective and seamless solution for ISPs to deliver home phone
service to customers. The new module can also be used in an
end-product upgrade strategy to boost data throughput for network
installations still running on DSL circuits.
