Gemalto announces that its Cinterion Cat. 1 LTE M2M module has been certified on the Verizon 4G LTE network. Gemalto said that it has been working with Verizon to address industry demands for M2M-optimized data speeds, small form factor, reduced latency and advanced power management to preserve battery life.
The miniaturized module makes it ideal for Industrial IoT (IIoT) applications such as smart metering, tracking and tracing and smart manufacturing that require a small footprint. It is footprint-compatible with existing Cinterion® modules which allows a smooth migration with faster time-to-market and reduced development spends for customers.
