LPWA ProductsLTE Cat.M1/NB-IoT Modules

LTE Cat. M1 provides 1 Mbps upstream and 1 Mbps downstream speeds for enabling communication at higher speeds than NB-IoT, which is the same LPWA standard, and it is ideal for IoT devices with low power consumption and that use batteries.
Murata's compact LPWA (Low Power Wide Area) modules for Cat. M1 (LTE-M) and NB-IoT achieve the world's lowest power consumption of 1.5 μA in Power Saving Mode (PSM)*.
The networks (licensed band) of major mobile phone carriers are used to provide a wider and more stable range of communication compared to unlicensed LPWA communication systems.
The module has a bottom area that is about 50% smaller than typical LPWA modules, enabling high-density circuit designs for electronic circuits.

NB-IoT is a communication standard for the Internet of Things (IoT), which focuses on low-volume data communications such as sensors. Throughput is low at speeds of 62.50 Kbps upstream and 26.15 kbps downstream, but because upstream communication is faster than downstream, it is suitable for applications that regularly upload small amounts of information collected by sensors.
As a leader in the Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) sector, Murata is a supplier of ultra-compact, low power consumption, and low cost IoT solutions to the market, and offers dedicated NB-IoT modules.
