GSM/UMTS/LTE/5G modules are used for embedding in devices and for their subsequent connection in wireless communication used to receive or send data. Nowadays, these modules are mainly used to connect mobile devices or data terminals to wireless networks.
GSM modules are components that allow devices to connect to the GSM (global system for mobile communications) network. GSM is an older generation of mobile network that was the predominant technology for voice and data transmission in the 1990s and early 2000s. Read more
GSM modules integrate the radio frontend, processor, and memory to allow devices to take advantage of the GSM network, such as the ability to make and receive calls or send and receive text messages.
GSM modules are used in many applications, such as:
Despite the fact that GSM modules are still used in many applications, their importance is gradually decreasing due to the growing popularity of 3G, 4G and 5G networks, which offer significantly higher transmission speeds and lower latency.
5G modules are components for devices that enable connection to the 5G network. 5G is a new generation of mobile network that brings a significant improvement in speed, latency, and data transfer capacity. These modules integrate the radio frontend, processor, and memory to enable devices to take advantage of the 5G network. 5G modules are used in various types of devices such as smartphones, tablets, computers, wireless networks and IoT devices. Their development and integration into devices allow manufacturers to provide customers with high-quality services and applications that require a high data transfer rate.
In addition to improving transmission speeds and latency, 5G modules also ensure higher data transmission capacity, which allows more devices to be used in one area without degrading the quality of data transmission. This increases the availability of data transfer for more devices and enables the development of new applications, such as virtual and augmented reality, which require high data transfer rates.
5G modules also contribute to increasing network security by enabling the use of encryption algorithms, such as AES encryption, which protect data from unauthorized access. In addition, 5G modules can contribute to improving the energy efficiency of devices, as they use more efficient protocols and control mechanisms, such as sleep or wake-up.
Currently, 5G modules are becoming more and more affordable, also in terms of price, which allows the manufacturer to offer customers high-quality services and applications at an affordable price. Therefore, it is expected that 5G modules will further expand their dominance in various industries, such as healthcare, the automotive industry, or smart cities.
LPWA (Low Power Wide Area) modules are wireless communication modules that allow devices to transmit and receive data over long distances with minimal energy consumption.
LPWA modules are designed to enable long battery life in devices that are intended to function for long periods of time without the need to replace the batteries or connect to the electrical network. These modules use low-frequency spectral bands that allow data to be transmitted over long distances without the need for a stronger signal.
LPWA modules are used in many applications, such as:
wireless devices for monitoring and controlling water sources and energy sources.
LTE CAT M (Category M) modules are wireless communication modules that provide high quality and performance for data transmission using LTE (Long-Term Evolution) networks.
LTE CAT M modules are designed to enable devices to transmit and receive data with high speed and reliability while maintaining low power consumption. These modules are specially designed for IoT (Internet of Things) applications, where high transmission speeds and low energy consumption are required.
LTE CAT M modules are used in many applications, such as:
LTE CAT M modules are an important element in the development of IoT and other wireless applications, as they allow devices to transmit and receive data with high speed and reliability, while at the same time with minimal power consumption, thanks to which they can be used for a long time without the need for replaceable batteries or connection to the power grid
