Fibocom CAT-1 (MC116) and CAT-1bis (L610/MC610) modules
Supplier: Fibocom
Technology type: Cellular Modules
Fibocom LTE Cat 1 and Cat 1bis and modules are designed for medium-rate IoT connections, covering the network frequency bands of major operators in Asia, Europe and Latin America, formed as both LCC+LGA and MiniPCIe packages. The module is an all-in-one solution that provides excellent, reliable and secure coverage; while also delivering cost advantages that 5G communication cannot guarantee today. In the LTE network, a Cat 1bis device is treated like a Cat 1 device with one key difference: Cat 1bis requires a single receive (Rx) antenna instead of the two antennas used in Cat 1. There is no dedicated bandwidth allocated for Cat 1bis devices; they coexist with regular LTE Cat 1, Cat 4, and smartphones on the same network and spectrum.
