LONDON, Nov. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Telit, a global
enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced that its
single-mode, NE866B1-E1 and NL865B1-E1 modules for European and
Chinese markets, received LTE Category NB1 (NB-IoT) GCF
certification upon conclusion of extensive laboratory and field
testing under multiple networks by two of Europe's largest mobile operators. GCF
certification is voluntary and means that IoT integrators and
providers looking to deploy cellular-connected devices are assured
modules will inter-operate across the vast landscape of mobile
networks worldwide. The modules are also on final stages of Radio
Equipment Directive (RED) and China Compulsory Commission (CCC)
certifications, mandatory for deployment in European and Chinese
markets respectively. For more information on the NE866B1-E1 and
NL865B1-E1 visit:

"This certification is a testament to Telit's commitment to
quality in a market increasingly crowded with low-cost, high-risk
modules," said Yosi Fait, Interim
CEO, Telit. "The NE866B1 and NL865B1 are the first modules in the
market to undergo the full breadth of testing and evaluations under
the now-mature guidelines and specifications for NB-IoT
interoperability by GCF. They were evaluated in labs and
field trials under different major networks in Germany, Spain and UK. NB-IoT is in such demand in
Europe and China that the ecosystem has been pushing
through products and approvals somewhat ahead of full maturity just
to meet this demand. We are pleased to be the first to
deliver modules that are full standard and interoperability
compliant. Eliminating unnecessary technology risk for our
customers is a major part of our mission, particularly as commodity
products continue to flow into developed markets like Europe and China."
The dual-band NE866B1-E1 and NL865B1-E1 modules, for use in
Europe and China, are ideal for new space constrained
products and also to extend the life of existing xE866 and
xL865-powered devices in market with the extended longevity of the
LTE Cat NB1 standard. Typical application areas well suited for the
compact modules include smart buildings and cities, smart
agriculture, waste collection, healthcare and remote monitoring
including smart meters in the utilities sector. When used as an
upgrade for existing applications designed in 2G, 3G, or LTE Cat 1,
the target device can be NB-IoT revitalized with little to no
redesign impact.
Telit has the broadest portfolio of certified IoT LTE LPWA
modules in the industry. For more information about the Telit
