Product Code: PT-3068
Actionable Benefits:
- Understanding the availability of module models by technology generation and UE Category (“Cat”).
- Manipulate the data to reveal the trends behind individual cellular module features over time.
- Establish which modules have been certified by certifying bodies, including U.S. carriers, and two global groups.
- Determine which chipsets are being integrated into the latest module models, and how that is evolving.
Critical Questions Answered:
- What share of available modules are attributed to an individual vendor’s model portfolio?
- Which connectivity standards are module vendors prioritizing, as device Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) demands evolve?
- Which product features are becoming ubiquitous over time?
- Which chipset manufacturers, and chipset types, are the most prevalent in the market for Internet of Things (IoT) modules?
Research Highlights:
- 2,361 IoT cellular module models catalogued by vendor, technology, spectrum bands, form factor, modem, value-added features, and in & out of market dates.
- 260 new model launches since the previous update, with notable a increase in 5G Reduced Capability (RedCap) and Long Term Evolution (LTE) Cat-1bis.
- Integration of the world’s first Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN)-capable chipsets into IoT cellular modules.
- Interactive visualizations for all the above data.
Who Should Read This?
