Product Description

The ML865C1 is the Category M1/NB1 evolution in the

widely deployed Telit xL865 product family. Specified in

the Release 13 of the 3GPP standard, LTE Cat M1/NB1 is

specifically tailored for IoT applications, offering optimized

power consumption and enhanced coverage. In addi-

tion, with its square 24.4 x 24.4 mm VQFN footprint, the

ML865C1 is designed for size sensitive applications.

This next generation of products supports the new features

specified by 3GPP to boost IoT applications, such as the

Power Saving Mode (PSM) and the extended Discontinu-

ous Reception (eDRX), which allow the devices to wake up

periodically to deliver only very small amounts of data to

the network and then go back to sleep for most of the time,

thus allowing longer battery operation. Enhanced cover-

age, with up to +15dB/+20dB in maximum coupling loss

(MCL) com-pared to the other cellular technologies, is also

one of the key benefits of this new LTE flavour. LTE Cat

M1/NB1 devices are therefore optimized in cost, size and

power consump-tion compared to higher UE categories.

These advantages make the ML865C1 the perfect platform

to enable a quick implementation of LTE technology in IoT/

M2M where low cost and low power are more relevant than

high speed.

The ML865C1 helps increase the addressable market for

LTE technology to include a broad range of new applica-

tions and use cases best served with lower maximum

data rate, ultra-low power, reduced complexity and cost.

Some examples are asset trackers, smart metering, smart

parking, smart agri-culture, waste collection, industrial

sensors, healthcare monitors, home automation, and

many more low data rate IoT devices. The ML865C1 is

offered in different bands configurations for deployment

in Europe and North America. It is highly recommended

for new designs, but also in particular as a migration path

for existing GPRS devices, both new and updated designs

benefit from a significant extension in life-cycle with LTE

Cat M1/NB1.

Key Benefits

• Design once and deploy globally, thanks to the xL865

form factor family

• Compact VQFN package is ideally suited for low profile

integrated solutions, limited real estate application boards,

reducing cost in high-volume applications, as well as sav-

ing space and weight in portable devices

• Perfect platform for regional IoT applications such as

smart metering, security & surveillance, point of sales,

health monitoring, fleet management, asset tracking and

wearable devices

• LTE UE Category M1/NB1 compliant to the latest 3GPP

Release 13 enhanced Machine-Type Communication

To address complexity expected in future exponential

growth in the number of IoT devices, integrated, embedded

and cloud software components are necessary to increased

manageability, lowering cost points for deploying and main-

taining such networks. To that end, the ME910G1 is offered

with a software suite of management and deployment tools:

• Lightweight M2M device management protocol compli-

ance, enabling detailed management of extremely

low-power devices and FOTA updates with the goal of more

robust and secure connections.

• Telit’s IoT AppZone, an integrated development environ-

ment (IDE) acting as a reference workbench and devel-

opment tool for all Telit products, running applications

directly inside the Telit module.

• Telit’s Connection Manager, a tool for automating the

most common operations for initial connection of devices to

cellular networks.

• Location, a facility that provides location of devices even

in the absence of GNSS connection.
