The ME910G1 series, based on the Qualcomm ® 9205S LTE modem, is ideal for applications where devices often are installed or travel through remote and rural locations. This includes industrial sensors in mines and oil/ gas fields, agricultural equipment, utility meters, trucks and shipping containers. Through a collaboration with Skylo, the pioneer in non-terrestrial network communications, and the Qualcomm® Aware™ Platform, the ME910G1-NTN elevates connectivity by adding satellite S and L band support. This caters to applications where mobile coverage is unavailable, such as ranches, farms, rural highways and oil fields or patches. To deliver this non-terrestrial network connectivity around the world, Skylo partners with existing satellite operators such as Terrestar Solutions, Inmarsat, Viasat, Ligado Networks and EchoStar. In Brazil, Skylo has partnered with Viasat on this effort. The ME910G1-NTN module is currently in Skylo certification testing and is now available for limited testing in Brazil.

The ME910G1-NTN complies with 3GPP Release 17, which integrates NTN with cellular 5G to ensure seamless, reliable connectivity even in the most difficult-to-cover locations. The module also includes LTE-M, NB-IoT and 2G, offering device OEMs, systems integrators and IoT service providers a comprehensive suite of mobile connectivity options to meet their specific technology and business requirements. As a member of Telit Cinterion's flagship xE910 family, the ME910G1-NTN provides pin-to-pin compatibility that allows developers to simply drop the new module into their existing xE910-based designs.
