Gemalto EMS31 Industrial Wireless M2M Cat M1 LTE Module

Product overview

Industry-first LTE Cat M1 module for Highly Efficient LTE-M connectivity optimized for IoT

Gemalto EMS31 Industrial Wireless M2M Cat M1 LTE Module is the industry’s first LTE Cat M1 wireless module tailored for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and industrial Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It takes efficiency and simplicity to new levels, delivering LTE for Machine-Type-Communication (MTC) and advanced power saving technology to enable battery life of 10+ years.

The new Cinterion M2M module features power-optimized performance and speeds of up to 300 kbps downlink and 375 kbps uplink. The Gemalto EMS31 Industrial Wireless M2M Cat M1 LTE Module is the first IoT solution based on a dedicated LTE Cat M1 chipset offering low-power, wide-area (LPWA) technology for extended coverage, including improved in-building and in-ground penetration. It is capable of supporting more than 10 frequency bands from a single hardware device, which eliminates the need for multiple variants providing simplified global deployment and a fast time to market.

LTE-M networks co-exist with 2G, 3G and traditional 4G networks, allowing easy evolution while ensuring the same security and privacy. In the future, the new module will be able to run LTE NB-IoT protocols on the same hardware, giving customers a future-proof path to the latest network standards.

The Cinterion EMS31 is ideal for low-power, low-bandwidth use cases not dependent on speed, but rather requiring network longevity and improved indoor coverage such as smart grid, agriculture, fleet, asset tracking, smart city applications, healthcare solutions and industrial sensors.

Sharing the same stable footprint as existing Cinterion products in the industrial family, the EMS31 offers multi-design capability and enables easy migration between existing and future standards. ​

​​​​Fast Wake-U​p making EMS31 uniquely suited for IoT​​​

What is it?

The Gemalto EMS31 Industrial Wireless M2M Cat M1 LTE Module can reattach to the network almost instantaneously after wake-up from deep sleep mode, saving power.

What is the benefit?

Reducing boot time to 1 second or less (vs 15-25 seconds typically) significantly saves power and improves responsiveness at the same time. Typically, stationary IoT applications with frequent sleep periods will benefit most.
