PLS8 Wireless Module
Best In Class LTE Connectivity for the Industrial IoT
The Gemalto Cinterion PLS8 wireless module delivers offers
a smart solution for wireless connectivity today and in the
future. With 3GPP Rel. 9 LTE technology, the PLS8 is
optimized for high bandwidth computing, enabling speeds up
to 100 Mbps for the downlink and 50 Mbps on the uplink. It is
an ideal solution for ruggedized mobile computing, video
security solutions, medical equipment, payment systems and
industrial gateway routers.
Key Features
The PLS8 and its variants, PLS8-E, PLS8-US, PLS8-J, PLS8-X
and PLS8-V, provide Multi Band LTE plus seamless fallback to
2G and 3G technology delivering worldwide coverage and
reliability even while roaming across different wireless
networks. Two antenna pads enable diversity support for
improved data speeds, and an optimized GPS antenna path
eliminates blanking for more consistent performance. For
investment protection, it supports multiple designs via
footprint compatibility with Cinterion 3G, CDMA and advanced
LTE modules.
Gemalto’s proprietary LGA footprint enables optimized heat
dissipation that prevents warping while allowing the freedom
to select the most beneficial soldering paste and stencil
height suited to each individual application.
Industrial Plus Family Benefits
The PLS8 wireless module 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.
