Product Description

The ML865G1 is the Category M1/NB2 evolution in the

widely deployed Telit xL865 product family. Specified in the

Release 14 of the 3GPP standard, LTE Cat M1/NB2 is

specially tailored for IoT applications, offering optimized

power consumption and enhanced coverage.

This next generation of products supports the new features

specified by 3GPP to boost IoT applications. These features

include Power Saving Mode (PSM) and the extended

Discontinuous Reception (eDRX). PSM and eDRX allow the

devices to wake up periodically to deliver only minimal

amounts of data to the networks and then go back to sleep

for most of the time, thus allowing prolonged battery

operation. Enhanced coverage, with up to +15 dB/+20 dB in

maximum coupling loss (MCL) compared to the other

cellular technologies, is also one of the primary benefits of

this new LTE flavor. LTE Cat M1/NB2 devices are optimized

in cost, size and power consumption compared to higher

UE categories.

3GPP Release 14 further improves these features by

adding techniques to increase the date rate for LTE-M and

NB-IoT. These advantages make the ML865G1 ideal for

enabling the quick implementation of LTE technology in

which low cost and low power are more relevant than high

speed. Some examples are asset tracker, smart metering,

smart parking, smart agriculture, waste collection,

industrial sensors, healthcare monitors, home

automation and many more low-data-rate IoT devices.

The ML865G1 is highly recommended as a migration path

for existing GPRS devices, and both new and updated

designs can benefit from a significant extension in life cycle

with LTE Cat M1/NB2.

Family Concept

The xL865 family includes pin-to-pin compatible 2G, 3G and

4G modules — the GL865, UL865, and NL865, respectively

— making it another pillar of the concept “design once and

deploy globally.” It enables integrators to develop a single

PCB layout for 2G, 3G and 4G Cat M1/NB2 technologies.
