Telit, a global enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), today introduced its new 5G M.2 worldwide module SKUs powered by the fourth-generation Snapdragon X65 and X62 modem-RF systems. The 3GPP Release 16 solutions will enable Telit customers such as device OEMs and systems integrators to support bandwidth-intensive, mission-critical and latency-sensitive applications such as smart manufacturing/Industry 4.0, telemedicine, 4K/8K streaming video and private 5G networks.

The new industrial 5G M.2 modules are available with LTE and WCDMA fallback:

  • FN990A28: Sub-6: 120 MHz, 2CC CA
  • FN990A40: Sub-6: 200 MHz, 3CC CA

3GPP Release 16 is the latest version of the 5G standard. It includes enhanced features such as ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) to enable a wide variety of new use cases for industrial IoT (IIoT), smart manufacturing, robotics, industrial gateways, fixed wireless access, SD-WAN, 4K/8K video streaming, extended reality (XR), gaming, eHealth, private 5G networks and more.

The Snapdragon X65 and X62 are the world’s first announced 3GPP Release 16 5G modem-RF solutions and the world’s first announced 10 Gigabit 5G systems. Snapdragon X65 supports mmWave and sub-6 GHz spectrum aggregation, as well as support for mmWave in standalone mode and FDD+TDD, TDD+TDD and FDD+FDD in sub6 GHz flexible carrier aggregation combinations. They also have a highly integrated, high-performance L1/L5 dual-frequency GNSS for applications that require precision location.
