ZTE said the industry leading domestic high-speed Internet of Things module development trend

Recently, ZTE Corporation and Qualcomm Incorporated jointly launched the industry's first industrial-grade seven-mode all-network patch module ME3630 based on the Qualcomm 9x07 platform. The module supports up to 150Mbps LTE Cat.4 downlink speed and is the first in the industry Support 150Mbps downlink rate of the whole seven-mode network module. Break 4G 4G module speed limit Insiders said that at present there are several domestic industry-wide full CNC module products are based on Qualcomm 9x15 generation platform, only supports LTE Cat.3, the maximum downlink rate of 100Mbps. In contrast, ZTE's ME3630, developed by Qualcomm's 9x07 platform, is the first LTE Cat.4 industrial-grade patch module in China to achieve network access certification. Its downstream rate is up to 150 Mbps and the rate can be increased by over 50% At present, the top level of the domestic IoT module, greatly improving data throughput. According to the TSR 2015 IoT Connection Statistics Report, although the 2G module is still the mainstream product and accounts for about 60% of the market, the share of 3G and 4G modules has continued to grow in recent years, with the increase of 4G modules The fastest, expected to reach about 20% market share in 2020, ZTE to develop LTE Category 4 support for IoT module, it is also taking into account the market demand for high-speed module in recent years. According to the GSA statistics report, as of April 2016, there are already over 128 commercial LTE Advanced networks deployed in 61 countries around the world, which can support 150Mbps or higher rate networks. It can be seen, ME3630 not only has a significant increase in theoretical connection speed, there are many in actual use. Some people may think that in the consumer products which have 300Mbps LTE module or higher appears, 150Mbps is not outstanding. However, the IoT module is more focused on the reliability of the connection, focusing on the overall consideration of cost and performance, so the rate of increase is relatively slow. However, with the rapid development in areas such as car networking and security monitoring, the demand for mobile network bandwidth in the Internet of Things continues to grow, and the demand for higher-speed bandwidth has become inevitable. ZTE ME3630 can achieve 150Mbps, to a large extent, accelerate the development of Internet of Things industry, high-definition video streaming support enables remote consultation and car monitoring possible; industrial routers and CPE products will be able to provide ubiquitous industrial environment Smooth internet connection. In terms of compatibility, the ME3630 follows the LCC package used by the vLink series of module products released by ZTE in 2015 and is compatible with other 3G and 4G products. The ME3630 also supports Mini PCIE encapsulation and extension, greatly improving product compatibility Sex. Customers can replace the module products according to different regions, usage scenarios and cost requirements to support different network environments and functions for quick and easy adaptation. This shows that the release of the ZTE ME3630 IoT module will lead the technology development trend of high-speed communication modules in the Internet of Things market to meet the abundant application needs of the future IoT industry and provide a solution with high speed, stable and relatively low cost at the same time For the car networking, security monitoring and other industry giants to provide a vast space for development of things.
