LTE Cat.1-EU Click Board™ (UK & Europe)

Product Code: MIKROE-3757

NOTE: It is necessary to emphasise that Voice over LTE feature (VoLTE) is supported only on ELS61-USA (AT&T, VoLTE, and CSFB) and ELS61-E (CSFB) wireless modules. Special note for the 4G network: Before buying this product, be sure to check if the modules' LTE bands match the 4G capabilities in your country. How Does The LTE Cat.1-EU Click Board™ Work? The LTE Cat.1-EU Click Board™ is equipped with the ELS61 wireless module from Thales. The main difference between these two modules are the supported frequency bands, which comply with each region's regulations. A complete list of supported bands for each module and other relevant info about the module itself can be found in the ELS61 series modem datasheet. The ELS61-EU module featured on the LTE Cat.1-EU Click Board™ comes with a Java® embedded virtual machine leveraging a robust ARM11 architecture that allows device manufacturers to utilize the massive to reduce complexity and speed application integration. The latest Java ME 3.2 client runtime platform reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) and time to market by sharing internal resources such as memory, a large existing codebase, and proven software building blocks.

The module uses Multi MIDlet Java execution to host and run multiple applications and protocols simultaneously. The UART bus of the ELS61 series module is connected to one side of the level shifter, while the other side (shifted) is connected to the respective mikroBUS™ UART pins. However, the ELS61 series module is designed as the traditional DCE device (Data Communication Equipment) offering the full UART pin count, including the hardware flow control pins (CTS, RTS). These pins are routed to the mikroBUS™ CS (CTS) and the INT pin (RTS) and can be used in the MCU software if the hardware flow control is needed. An extended security concept with the latest TLS/SSL engine provides secure and reliable TCP/IP connectivity. Its sophisticated sandbox modeling and layered architectures simplify device management and allow simultaneous progress of network operator approvals and application code development for a shorter time to market. The LTE Cat.1 module delivers long product lifespans up to seven years, efficient bandwidth and power utilization plus a feature set that meets the rigorous requirements of M2M IoT solutions including extended operating temperatures from -40°C to 85°C. The LTE Cat.1-EU Click Board™ ensures easy integration and a fast time to market for innovative solutions, and it also provides a dependable connectivity platform with the support needed for a fast time to market and a value you can trust. Given these features' possibilities, the LTE Cat.1-EU Click Board™ can be used for various applications such as metering, tracking and tracing, remote surveillance, connected signs, fleet management and mHealth.
