The HL7800 from Sierra Wireless is a Multi-Mode LPWA Module that supports LTE Cat-M1, Cat-NB1, and NB-IoT networks. It has a peak upload rate of 375 kbps and a download rate of up to 300 kbps. This module has an integrated GNSS receiver which enables tracking and location-based services. It can be programmed by AT commands and supports 8-wire UART, USB, ADC, and GPIO interfaces.
The HL7800 is fully compliant with the 3GPP Release 13 standard and is ready to support the LTE Cat-NB2 network in the future, providing a low-cost, low power technology for low-bandwidth IoT applications. It is available in an LGA package that measures 15 x 18 x 2.4 mm and is ideal for simple static sensor applications, or real-time fixed or mobile applications such as asset tracking and monitoring, industrial equipment, consumer wearables, smart city, healthcare, and agricultural monitoring devices.
