PLS83

IoT Module Delivering Global High-Speed LTE Cat 4

The PLS83-W IoT Module provides global high-speed IoT connectivity with 2G/3G fallback, with 18 Band LTE Cat.4, Eight Band 3G UMTS/WCDMA, and Quad-Band GSM for seamless coverage when roaming across different wireless networks. When a global solution is not needed, a variety of regional variants with the latest network band groupings deliver targeted connectivity for North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Japan.

Global and Regional LTE coverage with fallback options:

  • LTE Cat 4, Global and multiple Regional variants with latest network bands grouping
  • 3G and 2G fallback
