The LTE-based IoT modules enable developers to benefit from reduced development and certification costs, as well as from a shorter time to market thanks to pre-certification for end devices.
In addition, the components have been designed to reduce the gap between prototyping and production. They offer an extended operating temperature range (-30 °C to +75 °C), firmware-over-the-air (FOTA), 2G and 3G fallback and GNSS and are intended for a broad range of IoT applications.
The CMB100 series features a unified design to support current and future LTE and 5G technologies, simplifying the integration of commercial and industrial devices. In addition, the modules eliminate the complexity and challenges of radio frequency (RF) applications, reducing development times.
Also available is the CMB100 Rapid Development KIT 3990150771, a flexible product development platform for developers that enables rapid prototyping of unlimited IoT applications.
The integrated MikroBUS interface allows seamless connection to over 1,500 Mikro Click Boards and supports a wide range of I/O, sensors, wireless modules and control technologies. It offers a customised yet simple baseboard design, that results in a lower BOM cost end product by keeping all firmware and embedded complexity on the host MCU.
The CMB100 family is currently available in the following variants:
CMB100A0 (LTE Cat. 4 and 3G/2G)
CMB100C0 (LTE Cat. M1 / NB-IoT and 2G)
