Thales Gemalto Cinterion MLP31-W (in Mini-PCI design)

Cinterion MLP31-W (in Mini-PCI design) is a wireless module with support for LTE Cat.16 connectivity, which offers transmission speeds of up to 1 Gbps. The module is therefore extra suitable for the most demanding applications that require very high transfer rates and flexibility. In addition to LTE technology, the module also offers connection backup in the form of 3G technology.

The advantage of the module also includes the extended temperature range, which makes it ideal for use in industry. Communication is ensured using the PCI express M.2 interface. USB 3.0 communication is also supported. Among other things, the MLA31-W also supports GNSS technology or the possibility of using Dual SIM. The module also supports the form of 4x4 MIMO communication, which significantly increases the throughput and capacity of the entire network.

eSIM integrated in platform modules during manufacturing strengthens security, authenticates devices, encrypts data and securely manages connections to cellular networks.

Key Features:

• LTE Category 16 Multi-mode with 3G fallback
• Worldwide coverage on a single SKU, LAA support
• Private networks critical communication ready – CBRS, Firstnet support
• Extended temperature range for Industrial applications: -40 to +85°C
