- Commercial shipments of the new products will begin from the first quarter of 2020
- The new products will address challenges OEMs, integrators and device designers face says Telit
Internet-of things (IoT) solutions provider Telit has launched two Narrow Band-IoT modules NE310H2-W1 and NL865H2-W1. The company says the modules are suitable for 2G to 4G NB-IoT transition and come with lowest power consumption for battery-driven applications.
