STMicroelectronics ST87M01→ST87M01-1001

The ST87M01is a high-performance, fully programmable, ultra-compact, and low-power LTE Cat NB2 NB-IoT industrial module series, offering comprehensive worldwide band coverage and advanced security features. Designed to meet diverse application requirements, the ST87M01 family provides multiple configurable options including GNSS, Wi-Fi positioning, embedded SIM, and Wireless M-Bus (WBUS). 

The integrated GNSS functionality enables precise location tracking via GPS constellation, while the Wi-Fi positioning feature offers fast, low-power location services using nearby 802.11b networks in conjunction with third-party geocoding providers. Wireless M-Bus serves as a reliable backup communication channel in environments with limited cellular network coverage. The embedded SIM option optimizes board space and reduces BOM complexity.

Supporting a wide range of IoT protocols, the ST87M01 modules include PDU SMS services and internet protocols such as TCP/IP, TLS/DTLS, CoAP, LwM2M, MQTT, and HTTP/HTTPS, enabling versatile connectivity and application scenarios.

The ultra-compact LGA package (10.6 mm x 12.8 mm, 51 pins) makes the ST87M01 family an ideal choice for space-constrained designs, facilitating device miniaturization without compromising performance.
