Qualcomm has introduced two of its latest LTE modems, the MDM9207-1 and MDM9206, that are designed to support reliable, optimized cellular connectivity to a growing array of devices and systems within the Internet of Things (IoT).

The MDM9207-1 offers category 1 LTE connectivity that is purpose-built for IoT applications with power-efficient connections like smart metering, security, asset tracking, wearables, point-of-sale and industrial automation. The platform offers advanced power saving features for devices that are persistently connected as well as for those that require infrequent communication to the network.

At the same time, the second modem, MDM9206 will allow device manufacturers to enable cost-optimized solutions for low data rate IoT applications more efficiently addressed by a narrowband modem in addition to providing enhancements for ultra-low power and extended range as part of Cat-M (eMTC) and narrowband IoT (NB-IOT).

Anthony Murray, senior vice president and general manager, IoE, Qualcomm Technologies International Ltd
These modems demonstrate our continued commitment to the expansion of existing LTE commercial device capability in addition to new standards-based Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) technologies that will lead to global cellular solutions with longer range, lower power and lower complexity, such as LTE Cat-M (eMTC) and NB-IOT.
