LPWA BG950S-GL Cat M1/NB2

Overview

The BG950S-GL is a 5G-ready ultra-compact LPWA module compliant with 3GPP E-UTRA Release 14 specification, and 3GPP Release 15-17 will be supported by easy software upgrade. The module supports LTE Cat M1/ NB2 bands, SRD* (Short Range Device) communication in Sub-1GHz and 2.4GHz bands, and integrated SIM (iSIM). Besides, it features ultra-low power consumption implemented by a SONY ALT1350 processor and integrated RAM and Flash, which help reduce the current consumption to low levels in various modes, including PSM, eDRX etc. It is further integrated with a GNSS engine that supports GPS and GLONASS satellite systems.

With an ultra-compact SMT form factor of 23.6mm × 19.9mm × 2.2mm and a high integration level, the module enables integrators and developers to design applications easily leveraging its low power consumption and compact structure design. The BG950S-GL’s advanced LGA package allows for fully automated manufacturing required for large-scale applications. A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant functionalities extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M applications, such as wireless POS, smart metering, tracking, wearable devices, and many more.
