- Partner
- Semtech (formerly Sierra Wireless)
The HL7812 module is well-suited for low-power and battery-operated deployments, particularly in mission-critical IoT applications. It supports 3GPP Release 14 features, which enable advanced capabilities for LPWA (Low Power Wide Area) networks. The module offers best-in-class power consumption, making it ideal for devices that need to operate for extended periods without frequent battery replacement.
In addition to its low power profile, the HL7812 provides high transmit power, ensuring strong and reliable connectivity even in challenging environments such as remote locations or underground installations. It also incorporates a robust security framework that protects data from the edge to the cloud, safeguarding sensitive information in applications like asset tracking, smart energy, and smart city infrastructure.
Designed for long field life, the HL7812 helps reduce maintenance costs and improves overall deployment efficiency across a range of IoT scenarios.
