Amphenol MCP LTE Cat 1 and LTE Cat 4 Cellular Modules

Amphenol MCP Cellular Modules support LTE Cat 1 bis, with a single antenna interface, and LTE Cat 4 wireless communication modes with maximum 150Mbps downlink rate and 50Mbps uplink rate. These cellular modules have a compact design, ensure low power consumption, leverage maximum bit transfer, and are affordable. LTE Cat 1 and LTE Cat 4 modules support multiple built-in network protocols and drivers for main operating systems and software functions. These modules integrate main industrial standard interfaces, with powerful expansibility, including abundant interfaces such as UART, USB, I2C, and GPIO. These LTE cellular modules operate at -40°C to +85°C temperature range and are suitable for main IoT applications such as telematics, surveillance devices, CPE, industrial routers, and remote diagnostics.
