Renesas RYZ014A integrated LTE Cat-M1 cellular IoT module

The RYZ014A is Renesas' first cellular IoT module supporting the LTE Cat-M1 specification. This technology allows devices to directly connect to the internet without the need for a gateway by relying on the existing communication infrastructure owned by mobile network operators.

The module is built on proven technology both from a hardware and software perspective and will be delivered fully tested and calibrated. It has been certified with all major radio frequency regulations in the world as well as with leading network operators in North America, APAC, and Europe.
