Telit Cinterion CMB100 Embedded Modems
Telit Cinterion CMB100 Embedded Modems include 5G NR Red Cap, LTE Cat 4, Cat 1 bis, and Cat M1 variants. These modems simplify adding cellular connectivity to commercial and industrial devices while reducing development complexity, certification costs, and time-to-market. A common footprint enables easy migration between connectivity options. These compact modems provide USB, UART, and GPIO interfaces for simple integration with peripherals and actuators. Built-in TCP/IP and UDP/IP stacks streamline internet-connected designs.
Integrated GNSS capabilities support accurate positioning for tracking and location-based applications. Firmware over-the-air (FOTA) updates and remote management features help simplify device maintenance throughout deployment. The Telit Cinterion CMB100 family is ideal for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, mobile data equipment, and ultra-compact computing systems. A certified design helps accelerate the development of reliable connected products.
