Sierra Wireless / Semtech HL78x Scalable LPWA Industrial IoT Modules

Sierra Wireless / Semtech HL78x Scalable LPWA Industrial IoT Modules are Ready-to-Connect (R2C) modules that support using an embedded SIM (eSIM) or an external SIM for global data connectivity. The small, scalable, flexible solution (in a compact and easy-to-integrate form factor) is completely interchangeable among 2G, 3G, and 4G technologies. HL781x supports a variety of interfaces, such as USB FS, UART, ADC, and GPIOs. The modules also support low power consumption hibernation modes, giving users flexibility in implementing high-end solutions. The HL78x modules include two variants: HL7810 supports CatM1/NB-IoT, while HL7812 supports Cat-M1/NB-IoT/2G. 

Features

  • Band 8 (private networks) with NAD enable utilities (in the US) to deploy 900MHz private networks
  • Class 3 (23dBm) transmission power improves indoor/underground coverage with deep building penetration
  • Best-in-class power efficiency reduces operational and device maintenance costs of battery-powered and low-power devices
  • End-to-end security - encrypted security keys are stored in a secure element for an added layer of protection for user's solutions, from the edge to the cloud
  • Common compact form factor (CF3® design) migrates between technologies, expands globally, and future-proofs product platforms
  • Ready-to-connect - get instant access to Sierra Wireless AirVantage® Smart Connectivity to reduce total cost of ownership, strengthen end-to-end security, and simplify operations with a single point of accountability and management platform
  • Free firmware over-the-air (FOTA) upgrades future-proof deployments and keep them secure
  • Integrated GNSS receiver with Assisted GNSS enables tracking and location-based services
