Renesas RYZ014A LTE CAT-M1 IoT module

Renesas Electronics has introduced the RYZ014A, its first cellular IoT module supporting the LTE Cat-M1 specification. This technology allows devices to directly connect to the internet without the need for a gateway by relying on the existing communication infrastructure owned by mobile network operators. The pre-tested, pre-certified module enables users to quickly implement wireless IoT applications across the globe.

The module has been certified with all major radio frequency regulations in the world, as well as with leading network operators in North America, APAC and Europe. It thus offers support for worldwide frequency bands in a single design, removing the need to create multiple platforms for different global regions. It features high output power supporting both power class options 20 and 23 dBm, and ultralow-current consumption in power-saving mode of only 1 µA.

Sequans Communications provides the Monarch LTE CAT-M1 hardware and software technology used in the module, and has extensive experience implementing wireless IoT worldwide. Renesas also offers a web-based portal, managed by ONE Tech, that provides easy access to read sensor values and manage SIM card plans remotely.
