Gemalto, the world leader in digital security, is expanding Industrial IoT connectivity with a significant breakthrough in wireless engineering – the industry's first IoT module to provide global connectivity on 12 LTE bands plus, global 3G and global 2G cellular coverage all from a single device. This greatly simplifies logistics and distribution and lowers the cost of global IoT deployments.
In the decade ahead, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) market value is expected to grow exponentially, transforming manufacturing, energy, transportation and many other sectors. Coined the 4th Industrial Revolution, the IIoT relies on highly efficient, global connectivity solutions that can be easily deployed anywhere in the world.
The new Cinterion® PLS62-W wireless module from Gemalto delivers highly efficient Multi Band Cat 1 LTE connectivity and seamless fall back to 3G and 2G for global IoT solutions. The PLS62-W module is a leading edge solution that enables M2M optimized speeds of 10Mbit/s download and 5Mbit/s uplink making it ideal for industrial IoT applications that require the longevity of LTE networks along with continuous coverage in regions where 4G is still emerging. The modules feature a powerful Java® ME 3.2 embedded system which enables fast and easy application development, reduced Total Cost of Ownership due to shared resources and a quick time to market.
The PLS62-W is part of the Cinterion Industrial Plus family, which leverages the latest wireless standards to deliver IoT optimized data speeds, advanced voice features and multi band capabilities to ensure seamless global coverage. They share a common footprint providing a seamless migration path to protect your IoT investment and they are available in local and global variants including 2G, 3G, CDMA, LTE and LTE Advanced. They come with full type approval (FTA) and they are certified by the largest global network operators. All Cinterion modules are compatible with Gemalto’s comprehensive suite of solutions, services and platforms that help enterprises Connect, Secure and Monetize IoT technology.
Complete global IoT connectivity
The PLS62-W delivers a complete global approach to IoT connectivity providing 12 Band LTE, Seven Band 3G HSPA/UMTS and Quad Band GSM for seamless coverage through roaming across various wireless networks. For applications that need to operate on all worldwide networks, this simplifies product design and logistics while lowering Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Power management optimized for IoT applications
The PLS62-W modules feature an advanced power management system that ensures reliability and provides optimized sleep mode to preserve power and extend battery life, a critical consideration in many existing and emerging applications.
Fast simplified IoT development
Using an embedded systems approach the PLS62-W modules utilise a powerful Java embedded system which offers easy and fast application development, a broad choice of tools, high code reusability, easy maintenance, a proven security concept, on-device debugging as well as multi-threading programming and program execution.
Compact size
Housed in a LGA surface mount package the PLS62-W module is extremely compact measuring just 33mm x 29mm and only 2.3mm thick, this makes it possible to embed the module into almost any application including those which have severe space constraints.
The PLS62-W module is suited to a broad range of applications including global track and trace, smart metering, and fleet management solutions. In fact the module is ideal no matter where your IoT solution needs to be deployed or where they move making it perfectly suited for applications that need to operate across many different wireless network environments for many years.

The STM32N6x7 family is STMicroelectronics newest and most powerful STM32 MCU to date and the first to come with their Neural-ART Accelerator.
Industrial and embedded applications are required to operate under increasingly more stringent conditions, deployed with tighter constraints on space and budgets, and under harsher environments. To meet these demands, Harwin have announced an expansion of the popular Kontrol range of industrial board-to-board interconnects (BBi), by adding single row connectors and cables to the 1.27mm pitch (0.05") connectors. The expansion of the range has been designed to bridge the gap between high-end connectors and established pin header and socket solutions.
